What does first of the year have to do with it? You presumably registered for the codes last year. A registration for codes isn't erased at the beginning of the year; in fact, some codes which require multiple stays or a period of time can straddle a year.

Registered for all foxberg's codes yesterday then booked / completed a stay later in the evening.

None of the new codes showed up on my offer status page except the venetian/palazzo one previously mentioned, but in 4 days when the stay posts I'll report back on the results ^

With a Wiki, it makes no sense having a separate discussion thread.

Hello - need some advice please.

As a platinum member when I stay:

Hotel Indigo - I receive 1000 points voucher
Holiday Inn - I receive 500 points voucher
Holiday Inn Express - I receive 300 points voucher

Staybridge - I get a polite smile and nothing???
Crowne Plaza - told there pleased to see my a priority club member but nothing??

Both times in the plaza I was upgraded to club lounge is this what is in place of points voucher?

However staybridge giving nothing and no upgrade is this correct?

Thanks

It depends on the hotel. They upgrade you if it's available. Its also possible that the hotel only has one room type. Some hotels do the minimum for IHG members where others do a lot more

I'm seeing people posting code numbers, and stating 'registered for me' ...

but they are not acknowledging others, who are saying, yes, the codes 'registered', but there is nothing in their 'My Offers' page of their account.

there are a number of hypotheses, in that, one 'can' register a code ...

but if that code does not show up on their 'my offers', is it REALLY registered ??

To the OP who ( earlier ) admitted ( sort of ) to using a 'script' to rattle off codes of 0000 - 9999 ...

Be aware of the well-established fact, that IHG Rewards have and DO actually audit and CANCEL accounts that are deemed to have breached the Rules ...

It happened to me ( with the dreaded 'survey' for 300 points in August 2012 )

This is all rather turning into Schrodinger's promotion codes, and I'm rather looking forward to a week or two from now when we get to see if the cat is there.

This was my experience exactly. No stay scheduled yet, but will get one or two before the end of the month.

Yes and no - not everybody is familiar with a Wiki and simply adds them to the thread. For this reason we have decided for once to have two separate threads again. See also my remark in my opening post in the Master Thread

Yeah I understand that - just wasnt sure if those hotels were supposed to be issuing points vouchers as well or if the upgrade susperceeds the points voucher hence why it's not offered or mabey crowne plaza and staybridge just dont offer points vouchers?

Put it all in one thread and everone would be aware of it. And it would be much easier than having to go back and forth between two threads.

Sorry to have to ask but I am new to IHG

Where do I go to enter the codes you have listed here? I see the offers page, but I can't figure out where I enter a code to register for additional offers. I have read through this whole thread but figure it is something you all have known awhile so it isn't mentioned. Thanks.
