I assume you will get the bonus on the one night you actually pay for. I have one coming up in 3 weeks time and that is what I am expecting.

My first stay just posted with the 1000 points included in the stay total, no separate line item.

Same here , this is a great promotion and combined with the continuous sales on purchasing points is fueling fears of an impending devaluation

8176 points is 4x more than what you would have earned without the promo.
Edit: I'm not sure why post #95 has 4x the points for the bonus points. He/She did say 'something like this' so it's possible that there was confusion when making the post.

The total amount of points you are awarded is 4x your base earning points. So 1x base earnings + 3x bonus = 2044 + (2044x3) = 2044 + 6132 = 8176.
8176 points is 4x more than what you would have earned without the promo.

The promos are very generous right now, but the points posting is super confusing. For some reason, my 2x Accelerate points are posted combining multiple stays. I had lots of stays in the $60-180 range, and I just had two lines posted in a single day, one for 2xxx points and one for 3xxx points. No idea which stays these points pertain to, and don't have the energy to try to figure it out.

Can anyone confirm that the promotion booking period is now extended to 15th January 2020? (from 15th December 2019)
I heard reports that the terms and conditions have been updated to 15th January 2020 but there are also reports that terms and conditions remain unchanged. Any input is welcome.

January 15th now appears to be the last date to book (or is it just the last date the first stay; I'm confused).
But January 31st now appears to be the last date to stay.
At least that what it says when I log in, go to offers, and click on this promotion. I suggest you do the same to make sure it says the same thing for you. IHG is famous for targeting promotions, and I don't know if they're giving slightly different terms of this 4x promotion to different people or not.
Anyway, IMHO it's confusing to say when this promotion "ends", because different aspects of it end at the different times.
