Mine's not too bad, two international stays may be a challenge, but I'm puzzled by this weekend one:
The relevant terms say:
Does this mean two stays of minimum two nights, one of which must be a saturday?
Or one saturday, and one other night, across two seperate weekends?
8000 - Saturday Stays Bonus - Stay 2 weekend(s), including a Saturday night and another night, and earn 8,000 bonus points
Number of bonus points listed above will be awarded after required number of Qualifying Stays on Saturday nights have been consumed by the member between 1 January 2015 and 30 April 2015 (both dates inclusive) at [all the brands..] A Saturday Stay is defined as any Stay with an unlimited number of nights having a Saturday night included within the Stay period. If a Stay is longer than 7 days, then the number of Saturdays that qualify is equivalent to the number of Saturday nights during that Stay period.
Or one saturday, and one other night, across two seperate weekends?

I suspect the idea is to keep you from booking a stay through a cash back or GPT rewards program site. MyPoints has been running a 10% back on IHG bookings promo, and I suspect eBates and the like also have similar ones going on. And those have typically posted as qualifying stays, so forcing people away from booking the cash back sites does keep more money in the IHG system.

That's great, thanks - obviously a shame it's a little harder but I've had pretty easy challenges in the last two promos. Plenty of time to plan trips we can enjoy rather than mattress run this time round, too.

Unbelievable. I simply cannot achieve most of the offers.
My promo should really be: "As a platinum member, you've spent a fortune with IHG over the years & to thank you for your business we have offered you a promo that is unachievable & we want you to stop being an IHG customer & take your business to one of our competitors".

My wife enrolled too and got min 5 nights to get 50k points. It seems the promos are getting tougher and tougher to achieve, mine too. Well it is good to have the promo now in hand so that I know I can plan stay with other chains next year and only cherrypick & burn on IHG

I got both of the following:
Go Places with the IHG App - Earn 2,400 bonus points when you download, sign in and book 2 stay(s) with the IHG App. The IHG App allows you to get mobile-exclusive rates, access your virtual membership card and more
Book Directly with IHG - Book 2 stays directly through IHG and earn 1,900 bonus points. From our website to your mobile device, book with us for the best rate
Do stays booked with the app count as 'directly' with IHG - i.e. can 2 stays fulfill both?

I'm afraid to register just yet, I still have not been credited for downloading the app with ITN. And now I'm seeing that people are getting the same task? I'm going to wait until my current one posts (if it ever does).
Also, is this promotion only offering points and not free nights?

Anyone that has miles selected,
I get this when I try to register..
Looks like you’re a miles earner. Go to DoubleUpMiles.ihg.com to participate in our double miles promotion.
All I get is. This webpage is not available.
Does anyone know what this is about??

IHG RC is definitely something of a disloyalty program these days...
Both the Big Wins were great for me - Into The Nights was unachievable with 14 nights.. I thought that was bad... but Set Your Sights?
I wish I hadn't logged in now...
