Birthday Points
 
Today I got an email with a notice of 1000 birthday points. I clicked it, getting a confirmation shortly after, but not in my account yet.

Happy Birthday for yesterday!! :)

I got something slightly different for mine

Travel’s a great way to celebrate your birthday. And being a member of IHG® Rewards Club can take you to all the places you’d like to explore. Now when you stay a weekend in the next 90 days, you’ll earn 3,000 bonus points. It’s an early birthday gift from us to you.

Did you get the same offer and ever get the points to your account?

Just got an email from IHG. No free birthday points, but a 5K bonus if I do a 2-night weekend stay within the next three months.

A great promotion, the only problem was IHG ran it internally, so of course it got screwed up.

I got an email with a 1,000 points offer. I clicked on it, then saw I did not get the points. Read the fine print and then it said to get the bonus to make a reservation. As I have my bookings through February already, I looked at it, thought to myself "another IHG check-in points type of lie, nothing more".
I did not make any other reservation.

Then about 36 hours later the points posted.

A classic case study in IHG marketing.

I've just had this email. And it is actually my birthday!

Clicking through, I get:

We’re sorry, this offer is not available to you. A list of current offers can be found on the IHG® Rewards Club Offers page. We look forward to having you as a guest.

Thanks IHG. Anyway I'm having quite a nice birthday, no thanks to you, so never mind. It was only 1000 points anyway. You took 5x that from me a few months ago when your IT cocked up yet again, I'm getting used to it.

I got this offer as well. January birthday, US Plat via credit card.

Works well for me as I have a weekend stay that will complete Priceless Surprises and about half of my Accelerate 2017 tasks as well.

Birthday last month and no offer of any points even with a stay. IHG's IT group strikes again
