Dumfries is live in Scotland, looks like they have released the entire inventory as Execs are also available.

They're not the only property. I booked an executive in one city and a Jacuzzi suite in another for new year's eve. Now I've got to decide which to actually use. I'm seeing a number of properties including premium rooms - I'm sure not on purpose.

So far booked Cairo, Bali, Chennai with backup dates except Bali which is mostly dead. Finally, IHG coming through for me! Still need to decide flights...my original plan was India-Israel-malta-"India" (cough, Egypt) on 40k UA, and then 20k AA back to US from Europe. Now what to do about Bali...

Bali dates evaporated quite quickly in December.
I wasn't able to get both my rooms on the same dates, so if you have early December dates, and want later December dates, please PM.

Intercon Semiramis
My wife and I each have a booking for the Intercon in Cairo. It's a great day to live in Egypt!

Had to cancel Vilnius. Ryanair just can't seem to offer convenient flights.

And then it seems to have gone "poof" almost immediately! If you look at the chart, it's pretty much zeroed out for the entire promo period.
I guess the hotel can decide how much inventory to offer?
The silly thing is that this is a good deal, but not a great deal. I wasn't even sure I was going to use it. If you're willing to stay away from chain hotels, you can probably get better value than 5000 IHG points on better places to stay. Heck, even this particular hotel is going for less than $100 night, and you might find a good promo to juice.
