Thank you so much, I do prefer them! :D

My offer (USA):
For perspective, I only did 2 stays in the Q1 promo and 1 stay in the summer promo.

And once again, I can achieve 3 out of 4 (plus one extra) this time by doing just 2 (1-night) stays, with one of them being in September, and both of them being at (different) HIXs, and of course paying for both of them with my IHG credit card.

Having had a June 1st-Aug 31st challenge that included seven challenges, a requirement for 7 weekends and a belly busting $2,000+ F&B spend, I currently have only a two night stay nights showing in the June 1st-Aug 31st challenge, albeit I have just completed a longer stay that is yet to post long stay. My challenges this time are.....

Earn 98,500 total bonus points.
5,000 Stay Once.
60,000 Stay 30 night(s).
16,000 Stay 6 weekend(s).
1,000 Earn When You Redeem.
11,000 Your Achievement Bonus. Complete 3 of the 4 offers.
5,000 September Bonus Stay once in September.
500 Registration Bonus.

Initial thoughts are I'll manage the 30 days, redeem something and skip the 6 weekends.

Warning!
 

I clicked on the link in the 2nd post and accepted the t&c's. Basically that meant that I registered for this promotion. My offers were shown and there is one extra offer to earn a Registration Bonus: "Register for Accelerate and earn 500 bonus points."

The following is stated in the t&c's of this offer: "Number of bonus points listed above will be awarded after the member registers for the “Accelerate” Promotion between 6 September 2016 and 15 December 2016 (both dates inclusive)."

Since I registered today already I will probably miss that bonus. Not a big deal because it's only 500 points and it is not part of the 6/7 I need to achieve for the Achievement Bonus, but still annoying....

I finally got a good one (not one of those stay xxx nights and get yy points):

Haven't completed one of these yet. Could stay this weekend and next to complete the present one though (4 nights and 2 weekends for £190 and approx. 45k points + what I get for the bookings) or looking at a cheaper way, it says "Your Achievement Bonus: Complete 6 of the 8 offers above and earn (an additional) 21,300 bonus points" (7 offers above, 1 below). I've done 4 out of 9 so not sure if I could just book 1 stay through the app and spend $40 on food to complete 6 out of 9.

The Sep-Dec one I will complete.

Going to be staying in Panama and the US a few times in Oct/Nov so that should mop up most of that.
