Ready to see your mystery bonus?
Dear Zimstyles
Your next purchase of IHG® Rewards Club points could be your most rewarding one yet. Get a mystery bonus multiplier of 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90% and even 100% of whatever is in your cart and bridge the gap to your next Reward Night—earn your free bonus when you purchase points from now until 31 August 2015.
How big is your bonus?
So I clicked through and I have a 80%bonus, somehow this is on top of the 100% points so basically 1000+1000bonus + 80% of 2000
Sounds to good to be true, any thoughts?

When I read the op's post I thought he had just gotten confused.
But when we looked at my wife's offer she had also been offered the 80% bonus, but in the drop down box to purchase the points the bonus was 100% !
So I guess it would be easy to assume you bought some, got a 100% bonus and another 80% "mystery bonus" on top.
I'm assuming its another IHG IT error.......but just in case......has anyone bought at 80% this time around and been given +100% with another +80% on top???

I did not get an offer in mail, but it is available on IHG page in Offers.
Question: Did I make a mistake when I went in there and put in my info? I curently have exactly nothing in my account, but next week I'll begin a stay that should bring me to Gold. Should I have waited?

Surprise for me to be offered 100% bonus as all the previous times with variable extra bonus percentage I was always offered lowest bonus and if effectual rate to purchase is higher than award p&c I am not interested... So my first ever points purchase outside of P&C
Needed an outer London base for a stay of 14nights so purchased 35 & 35 bonus K's for 14night on PB at HIE Dartford although I don't really need middle Sat&Sun the extra 10k is worth it to leave my bits behind in room for second week of stay.
I stayed night I flew in to UK, Mon 27th at PB, HIE LHR T5 Monday 27th as flying in the evening pb's released . Saw hotel bill the HI LHR get just £16.95 night from IHG Corporate... (rate was advertised £110 or £95 on company rate)
