Get 25,000 points with our 25 For 25 Event
Thanks. Makes me feel a little better. Wonder if CC is getting overwhelmed by all the promos and can't keep up. Also about 1000 points short on the Look Book promo.
In addition, I haven't gotten e-mail confirmation for any of the latest promos, and didn't even get an e-mail about the Radisson 1-for-1 promo at all.

This promo is already over but it's worthy to note that it's cheaper to buy the points directly from CC with their current 50% bonus promotion.
Right now, you can get 30K points for $140. If you had spent the same amount ($70 per night) staying at one of their properties, you would've only gotten a little over 25K points. And that's assuming your stay would've cost that much. Some of the lowest 25x25 rates were starting at around $60-70 before taxes but others were much higher.

I got my two-night stay on a $118 per night room rate. I was happy paying roughly $250 for two nights and getting the 25,000 bonus points because I needed to stay somewhere, so the points were free to me. I don't view it as having paid $250 for the points, I view it as having stayed at a hotel where I needed to say and receiving a free bonus of 25,000 points.

win-win
I suppose that's what CI&S was looking for. While my family enjoys CI&S, this was my first business stay. Given the way my travel budget keeps getting tighter, it may not be the last.

I think it is far more accurate to say that it is not a good promo if I don't actually have a 2 night stay anywhere and have to fork out $160 for 25000 points. If you have a 2 night stay coming up somewhere where there is a competitively priced Country Inn and the extra dollars you pay = $40 then its a very good promo.
Essentially it cost us $15- a night more, including tax, to earn: the 25K points, plus the 1000K points to go through the CC website, plus an extra 1400 points per night for the actually room rate, [74 x 20], plus a 2000 room bonus for a stay this particular weekend...
.
Total: $30 outlay for 32,800 points. Not bad for a trip we were planning to take, regardless,and a free breakfast, to boot.

That's exactly what promotions are supposed to do.
p.s. It really is a nice hotel and I recommend it to anyone. If you stay there, try the Bon Ton Cafe next door. It's one of my favorite restaurants in the world.

25k said to post Monday
Same situation here. Got all the "basics" but not the 25K bonus. I'll wait a few days and then call if nothing appears. It seems that it is YMMV as someone upthread posted he got the 25K at the same time as his basic points posting.
