No. I got the offer, and I was not in the 1,000 point only group.

Anyone seen anything that indicates the bonus points are elite qualifying? I would be stunned, but stranger things have happened with IHG...

Thanks, the 37176 promo code works for me.
So, the Bonus program will start after Dec 15 2019?

I have 8 stays to go on November, booked last month. Will it be count for this program?

This is obviously targeted. I am registered in NZ and have nothing in my Offers page either on the website or the app and haven't received an email. I am slightly wary to register using the promo code mentioned above as I had a previous experience of registering via a blog link only to find I didn't qualify.

I'll wait a few days and see if the offer appears - if not I will register using the promo code and see if a stay 2-4 November triggers the first bonus.

To me, it says that any stays as of TODAY count if you register....but if you don't register by Dec 15 then you are SOL...LoL!

You must register and book before 15th December and stay until sometime in January.

Yes as long as you register before your stay and before 15th December you should get the points.

No they are not elite qualifying points. However, there is a Kimpton annual sales currently, that if you book the annual sale fare in Kimpton properties you can get double Elite Qualifying points.

Ok - so I'll ask this to be specific - do you have to book and stay after Registration (I have), or are bookings made before Registration included?

Thanks in advance

just got this reply from ihg, u need to book after sign up to this promotional offer, that sucks

Please note that the 'Up To 4X' Offer requires prior registration in order for stays to qualify. Our records show that your account was registered to the Promotion only today 25 October 2019. While the upcoming stays in question were booked prior to 25 October.

I'm sorry about this Mr. Xxx

Not to worry though, I show you're a frequent guest at IHG Hotels. I'm confident you'll be able to fulfill the Promotion criteria before it ends on 31 January 2020.

I suspected as much. As all my rooms are booked in my husband's name - he is old enough for Senior Discount so we can rebook and cancel the originals. A bit of a chore - but doable.
(I am, of course, years younger than him. )

That's quite a change from past promos. I guess I will be cancelling and rebooking all my upcoming stays. Too bad about the one with the non-refundable deposit.

Sometimes it is better not to believe in the words of customer service. The Terms and Conditions is very clear that booking after registration is not required. The only part concerning the booking and staying is
Stays must booked by December 15, 2019 and completed by January 31, 2020.


If IHG is to tell you that you must book at certain period (i.e. after registration), it would do so like the current Kimpton Annual Sale or 50% Luxury Bonus Points promotion (well sort of compare apple to oranges from my part, but ...).

I know one has to be safe and not to assume. Yet I think the best way is to wait for registered user to report back after their experience to see if their prior reservation had been honored or not. As it is not defined in the terms and conditions, I encourage flyertalkers who did not receive bonus points to argue their case.

You are probably correct - but I prefer to be safe rather than sorry. Arguing after the event is sometimes extremely frustrating. I'm going to rebook and cancel the originals.
