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.

Same here, stayed 10th-13th. Regular points posted, but not accelerate. In the past took anywhere from 7-14 days to post, so no panic YET.

My final challenge (on which all the other bonuses were stacked) just cleared. Now I have to hope the bonus points appear in my account before the Points Breaks goes live!

I had one stay for 3 nights on April 14th, dash board has been updated and completed two tasks. Strangely the 3 nights would complete a third, stay x number of nights and receive x number of points, but the sweep only has given me 2 nights..email duly sent..

The Stay More, Earn More offer requires you to stays for 18 nights to get the 36,000 points. It shows that you only stayed for 17 nights within the offer period. For your reference, below are your stays that were counted towards the offer:
Holiday Inn ????? 14 April 2017 3 nights
Holiday Inn ????? 22 March 2017 8 nights
Holiday Inn ????? 18 February 2017 1 night
Crowne Plaza ????? 17 February 2017 1 night
Holiday Inn ?????? 15 February 2017 2 nights
Holiday Inn ?????? 13 February 2017 1 night
Holiday Inn ?????? 19 January 2017 1 night
Holiday Inn ?????? 04 January 2017 1 night
My basic maths makes that 18 nights...another email has been sent..

It was the check in date, so your correct if they only count the two days.
But they have just manually posted the points for the 18 nights.
