For newcomers to IHG promotions, note that Holiday Inn Express and Holiday Inn (including Holiday Inn Resorts) are two different brand categories for these things. If your dashboard says 'stay at a Holiday Inn Express' as one of the tasks and you stay at a Holiday Inn, it will NOT credit for the Holiday Inn Express task. (and vice versa)
At IHG, points + cash stays are simply points stays where you bought some of the points at the time of the reservation. Once you finish the reservation, a points + cash stay shows as a points stay. Thus points + cash stays only count for tasks where they are specified, and not other tasks.

Wouldn't be surprised if the promotion wasn't supposed to be live yet, and IHG's wonderful IT department is trying to close it down until their official scheduled launch.

I clicked on the UK link and got the same rubbish. As I'm 30% through the current promotion (and will successfully complete it this week) I was hoping to get the system to calculate my offer based on what I've achieved so far and ideally end up with an easier set of targets!

US one
45k total
3k Stay once
10k Stay 5 nights
8k Stay at 2 Holiday Inn Hotels (Including HI Club Vacations)
1.5k Spend on IHG Rewards Club Card
17.5k Complete 3/4
5k Stay September
think I can do all of this.... 5 nights @ $100 = $500 spend
45k points plus $500*20 points (earning rate) = 55k points(worth about $250-$350)
for Stay at 2 Holiday Inn Hotels (Including HI Club Vacations)
What counts as HI? HIX as well?
Probably not, since OP has "Stay at 2 HIX" instead of just "HI"

same issue here.
maybe because of a registration to another promo? I am registered for Stay twice 3 nights and get 30k. I hardly ever stay 3 nights in a row in the same hotel

Same here..... will try again in Sept!
Happy to see another chance to boost my points though! It will have yielded me about 200, 000 this year extra, without to much effort (apart from my loyalty that is
)
If they have another points buy promo by year end, then can count on me again in 2017!
