Logged into my Rewards account and saw this. Anyone any idea what it means? Whatever is was doesn't seem to have cost me anything, just curious.

I had the same (but with a point deduction) when I decided to become an Ambassador.

Did you become AMB? RA? Ordered a new Card?

I renewed Amb in September, but I ordered a new card after reaching Spire so I think that was probably it, many thanks for solving the mystery.

you requested a physical membership card?

I got that activity on my accout the day after the CSR ordered me a new Spire card to replace the one with the sex chat on it.

I have three of these in my account in the past 6 months. I can't detect any logical pattern of them appearing before or after any kind of point-earning or point-deducting event.

I have had a total of three reward night bookings (1 completed, 1 changed, 1 cancelled), so maybe these are somehow tied into the "order event" posting. But the postings have occurred at least a month after the booking or the booking change. And in the case of the most recent posting, which showed up just a few days ago, it would be almost 2 months after the last point redemption.

Edited to add: I just downloaded an ebook to complete one level of the Accelerate year-end promotion. My account instantly showed:
13-Oct-2015 | Redeem | Redeemed Points 1 Order Event | -3 pts. | 0 pts.

And now having re-read the posts above, I'm reminded that I've requested a new card several times this year, once because my Plat card had expired, and a couple of times in a still-futile effort to get my new Spire card. So perhaps that's what's triggering these posts.

Or not. It's IHG, anything is possible.

Quaint I know but I prefer to announce my arrival by slapping my card down on the counter.

I found the front-desk-staff is not interested in the card.

Me: *Slapping* down the card on the front desk.
Front Desk: Your name please?
Me: It's on the card.
...

HTB.

I thought this would be my experience too. This past week I checked out of a HI expecting to go home. I was forced to stay another night for work, so had to check-in again. I booked the room right at the front desk so I presented my Spire card with my CC and ID. The front desk agent immediately recognized it and gave me all sorts of stuff (points, water, free drink, 15% off for in-house restaurant, etc.) Maybe the physical card triggers a different reaction than reading a line on a computer screen.
