edit: not worth it for me since I can MS 10k points for $50
Yes they both mean bonus IHG Rewards Club points but they seem to have simply forgotten to update the 10000 point rate's text to reflect Priority Club Rewards being renamed to IHG Rewards Club...

I just got SPG Gold, so more of my business will be going that direction.
I have to agree I have been a RA for many years but its crap program in terms of the amount of points we earn, these days. Before I could register for lots of promos, without those promos, SPG is getting the bulk of my business.

Same here, IHG was my primary chain for about twelve years because of the point earning potential, but not it's just my backup and Marriott has become my primary. My IHG balance is below a half million for the first time in years. Sorry, IHG.

same here, just burning the stockpile now, the only thing that would get me back staying with InterCon on a paying basis would be if they offered Lifetime RA say for 10 years non consecutive RA.

I'm looking at booking at the IC Adelaide on the AMB weekend (Fri & Sat) along with a free night I have (Thurs).
What is the likelihood I would upgraded on all 3 nights, with only one of them being paid?
Would it be better to book the IC Club room, or a lesser room and hope to be upgraded to IC Club?

is it possible it was for something you registered for, but didn't show up in your Offers? showing up a couple of weeks late is not unheard of, in my experience.

The only thing I've registered for in 7-8 months was 2106 kick-start club 1,500 which should have earned 1500 not 1000

always difficult to decipher with the vagaries of IHG's IT system, at least they put 1K in, and not out^

No, because I have three of these and only two of those nights.
