Promotion Discussion Thread 2021

This is the thread for all posts related to discussion about promotion which might run by IHG apart from the regular (quartely / general) promotions in 2021.

Major Promotions might get its own thread, smaller promotion limited to certain regions or hotels are added in this thread. I have again added a Wiki with links to the running promotion master thread (and again I would like to highlight, that The Wiki does not necessarily have to be maintained by the moderator )

Most of you with a certain number of posts and member of flyertalk for a longer time can add these promotions to the wikipost above yourself. If you are do not yet have the possibility or do not know how to add them, post them here and alert us via the report button (red triangle with !) and one of the moderators in this forum will add them.

If you have any question to the promotions, post it here and we are sure, you will get an answer.

Thank you

Unsure if targeted or not...

UK promo:

As the UK continues on its journey out of lockdown and more hotels begin to re-open, we're marking the occasion with a Flash Sale across the UK & Ireland.
Plus, for a limited time, to promote a restful staycation, check-out as late as you like (yes, 11:59pm is ok!). Mark your diaries.The UK’s Latest Check Out (the “Promotion”) is valid only for bookings made from 05 May 2021 to 01 June 2021 (both dates inclusive) (the “Booking Dates”) for stays at participating IHG Hotels & Resorts in the UK between 17 May 2021 and 02 June 2021 (both dates inclusive) (the “Stay Dates”). The UK’s Latest Check Out is only available for stays with a departure day of Monday to Thursday and excludes stays with a departure on Friday, Saturday or Sunday. The Promotion is only valid at the participating IHG Hotels & Resorts listed above.

The Promotion offers guests late check out until 11:59pm on the day of departure. Check out is variable based on the request by guests and is subject to availability and operational requirements of participating hotels. Promotion is only applicable against Standard room types. Guests need to include ‘Latest Check Out’ in the reservation notes at the time of booking and contact the hotel to inform them of their intended checkout time.

The current suite life promo includes a 45 EUR daily hotel credit at IC. What could such a credit be used for? Restaurant expenses, room service, spa services, airport transportation...?

There is a promotion currently: Get 100% more points on us when you purchase in the next 2 days. After that, we'll be lowering the bonus amount -- so buy early to earn big. Plus, you can purchase up to 150,000 points.

Is it just me or this is not worth it? You can get 300,000 points for $1,500 however, when i look at the price of rooms, even with the 100% bonus this works out more expensive than actually paying for the room? Am I missing something here?

I'm just paraphrasing and agreeing with what an experienced poster wrote in another thread (about whether you are buying miles and points at the moment) when I say that you should do it only if a) you are going to redeem the points more or less immediately for a stay/flight or b) you need an activity to extend the life of your points.

The extra buy points promotions with IHG Rewards are no longer worth it, IMO, because IHG Rewards has shifted over to a dynamic points pricing system meaning that it is harder to get a good points deal, although there are still some possible bargains to be had if you get your timing right.

I have been away from IHG for a long time and was wondering whether the Pointbreaks feature has died? A Google search brings up a page which requires bookings to be made by January 2020. Obviously obsolete, but why then is it still there?

Please see this thread (starting around post #400). Pointbreaks were discontinued around January 2020.

avid, 4x bonus, Aug 02 to Nov 30

This offer came in email. Since it seems to be avid™ only, I thought this was the right thread.

These “General Promotion Terms” shall govern all Offers under this Promotion.

You must be an IHG® Rewards member and must register your member number in advance of staying, to participate in the “4X points at avid™ hotels” (“Promotion”). Members can pre-register for this promotion starting July 26, 2021 through August 1, 2021. Members will be able to register, stay, and earn for this promotion beginning August 2, 2021 and ending on November 30, 2021 (“Promotion Period”). Upon registration, members will be presented with the opportunity to earn 4X bonus points every night stayed at an avid hotel during the Promotion Period when paying a Qualifying Rate (as such rates are defined in the IHG Rewards terms and conditions). A member earning “4X bonus points every night”, as defined by this campaign, will receive four times the base points earned on every night stayed at an avid hotel on a qualifying rate. You must register, book, and stay on or before November 30, 2021 to earn bonus points during the Promotion Period.

By clicking “click to register” you are registering for the Promotion. Members will be awarded bonus points based upon the number of nights consumed during the Promotion Period at avid hotels. Promotion Period begins on August 2, 2021 and ends on November 30, 2021. Members will only receive bonus points for nights occurring during the Promotion Period. Nights that occurred before or after the Promotion Period are excluded. The bonus points earned during the Promotion Period can be used towards Reward Nights, can be redeemed for merchandise, or for other redemption opportunities.

Qualifying nights are booked under a Qualifying Rate, with total spend exceeding US $30 for said night. The Promotion Period includes 121 nights and the maximum number of bonus points that can be earned per member is 30,000 bonus points over the entire Promotion Period.

For additional details on Qualifying Nights and Rates, please see the full IHG® Rewards Club Membership Terms and Conditions . Only one room per member per Qualifying Night will be eligible for the applicable bonus points, or other benefits (if any) available under the applicable Promotion. If more than one member checks into the same room, only one member is eligible for the applicable bonus points, or other benefits (if any) available under the applicable Promotion. If a member books more than one room on the same night, they will only receive Promotion points on one room and points will be based off the room with the higher average room night rate over the Promotion Period. IHG Rewards Members with a Miles earning preference will earn Points. No retroactive bonus points will be awarded for nights prior to registration in the Promotion. Except as otherwise stated in the terms and conditions, please allow up to 4 to 6 weeks for Promotion bonus points to be credited after checkout.

This Promotion is subject to standard IHG® Rewards Club Membership Terms and Conditions and earning structure, which can be obtained by visiting ihgrewards.com . Members can only participate in one Promotion at a time, unless specifically allowed by IHG. IHG reserves the right to remove a member’s bonus points or cancel a member’s account if fraudulent use of the Promotion is detected. To the extent permitted by applicable law, IHG Rewards reserves the right to cancel, terminate, suspend and/or modify the Promotion at any time with or without notice. To the extent permitted by applicable law, IHG reserves the right of final interpretation of this Promotion. Members must make any promotional inquiries by 60 days from the end of the Promotional Period.

The Register Now button in the email has one of those hundred character strings that I choose to believe is personalized, so I didn't include that (nor did I follow it).

A search for a sentence in the General Promotion Terms resulted in this hit.

When can we expect the next promotion to be up and running?

Have a 7 night stay at a CP towards the last week of this month, but unfortunately there aren't any promotions going on
