And of course when I try to claim my points I get
"code": 400, "error_message": "Redirect URI does not match registered redirect URI"

My email address for IHG and Instagram are different. I kind of thought this might be a pain to try to collect.

The "code" is a confirmation number. It isn't actually used to redeem for points.

So I’ve also received the alpha numeric confirmation number (12 days ago). I’m curious if anyone has actually received the 5,000 points, deposited into their accounts. Thanks

I'm paranoid about posting personal pics on a corporate marketing twitter account. I'm sure somewhere in the fine print, it will say they have full rights to your pic and personal info to use in any marketing materials if they choose without additional compensation. I don't think 5k points is worth it for something like that.

Of course they do .... but only for two years:

",,,
  1. PUBLICITY RIGHTS: To the extent permitted by the mandatory provisions of the applicable law, by participating in the Offer and/or accepting an Offer Item, each participant agrees to allow Sponsor the right to use for a period of two (2) years from the date of the participant’s Submission, his/her name, biographical information, photos and likeness, voice recording, video images and all related footage, and statements for trade, commercial, advertising and publicity purposes associated with this Offer and/or the IHG Rewards Club, at any time or times, in all media now known or hereafter discovered worldwide including but not limited to television (including live television), radio, Internet, without notice, review, or approval and without additional compensation except where prohibited by law.
