Did you want the welcome gift or 500 bonus points that we will never really post?

The official policy from speaking with a few FD staff is that they are added when the guest checks in.
I wonder if IHG has moved to enforce this.

My stays at HIX and CP in Newcastle have garnered points on check in, my last stay at H Indigo also in Newcastle took 3 days and the reception staff member was very snooty when I checked out and mentioned I hadn't rec'd the points yet, got told sometimes they need to be authorised..3 days later they arrived

They are a brand standard and hotels are required to offer them. They aren't published online anywhere but are mentioned in post stay questionnaires.

I tend to stay at Holiday Inn Express quite a lot, and as I look back through my account activity, I see that I have gotten 500 points there every stay this year. I also get 500 at Holiday Inn and 600 at Crowne Plaza. I haven't stayed at any of their other properties recently, so I don't know if Candlewood, Staybridge, etc is different.
Some other regions are different for some reason I don't know why.
