Copying over the usual promotion info to the new thread:
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.

Some offers require booking within the promotion period in addition to staying during the promotion period.

My "Pay with IHG Rewards Club credit card" target still hasn't been posted from a stay on 13 January. Here's the correspondence with IHG so far:
Me: Bonus points not posted yet for this stay (giving reference number etc).
IHG: Please confirm last four digits of the CC used.
Me: xxxx
IHG: Please allow up to 8 weeks after check-out for the dashboard to be updated.
Me: It has been over 8 weeks.
Only need this target met to trigger the achievement bonus...

One of my challenges was to book using a "bonus points package". I noted some properties have an "Ambassador bonus points package" aside from the standard "bonus points package." Does anyone know if both count for the accelerate promotion? The TnC doesn't say.
Also, has anyone experienced a case where the challenges in the dashobard doesn't update simultaneously following a stay? Like if you met 3 of the challenges but only 2 got updated and the other one gets updated a few weeks later?
