Two UK nights for one global free night - promo code?

Loyalty Traveler posted about a new IHG offer which awards a free global night at any IHG property for two nights at one of several IHG properties in the UK:
  • Kimpton Fitzroy London
  • The Met Hotel, Leeds
  • Principal York
  • Principal Manchester
  • voco™ St David’s, Cardiff
  • Principal Edinburgh Charlotte Square
  • Principal Edinburgh George Street
  • Blythswood Square Hotel, Glasgow
  • Wotton House, near Dorking, Surrey
The issue is that when I go on the registration page to sign up, I'm redirected to a promo registration page which asks for a promo code. However, the landing page for the offer doesn't list any promotional code. (It does say I need to register for the offer.) Any ideas?

Are you a IHG member residing in the UK? Otherwise you may not be eligible for the offer.

The problem was that the code was embedded in the original URL emailed by IHG but people (including myself) didn't notice and truncated the URL for publication.

Click this https://www.ihg.com/content/gb/en/de...romoCode=65351 and you'll be fine.

Do you get points/ stay credits/ member benefits, for stays at these new properties, before they are fully converted to IHG ?

If it is any help, I stayed at the Principal York straight after the ihg takeover but before its formal 'ihg launch'. I did ask about points on check in but was told a firm 'No' as their systems were not compatible at that time.

Thanks!

I wonder whether that has now changed since they are bookable on the IHG app / website.

Anyone got any recent experience?

Without wishing to state the obvious, this promo would not work if the stays could not be logged with Rewards Club!

Any idea how stays at these Hotels will be recognised in the new Q1 multi brand / Accelerate promo for the stay x brands, get x points challenges?

Where does it say you'll have to be?

Should work with those which have been rebranded as IHG hotels, i.e.

Kimpton Fitzroy London
voco™ St David’s, Cardiff

Stayed at Blythswood Square, Glasgow yesterday. Nice hotel and apparently will be a Kimpton, but not yet.
Just wondered, if whilst still in its “Independent” format, it will count as a separate brand?

If the stay was after they launched the Promo your should be able to see it on the dashboard?

Otherwise, there's no mentioning of Principal in the T&Cs
