I'm hesitant to check - I got 1K from Accelerate for a single stay with the last one.
Likely a far cry from one of the early one with 10 nights at 3 brands yada yada for 146K.

My offer includes this:
Earn more at InterContinentalStay 2 night(s) at any InterContinental Hotels and Resorts in Asia Pacific,the Middle East and Africa and earn 4,200 bonus points
I wonder if that means consecutive nights at the same hotel or just 2 x one night stays?
The offer also includes this:
Explore with ConfidenceStay in any country in North America, South America, Central America, Caribbean, Greater China (China Mainland, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan) Europe and earn 18,000 bonus points
I had stays booked in South Africa but that country is not included; I wonder whether it would have made a difference if I had cancelled all bookings before registering for the offer?

My first Accelerate was in the last quarter, and while I haven't hit everything yet, I'm hoping it all works out before the promotion ends in a couple days as I did hit every goal (the system just doesn't realise it yet).
This time it looks quite boring.

Mine is the fairly stock standard (for me).
Already got a stay booked in Jan, but it doesn't meet the T&C's. Such is life...

Very similar to my offer with an additional 'task' of making a cash and points booking.
However I just need 3 of 4 for the bonus and if I complete that it won't be staying 5 nights.

Last accelerate I was able to confirm that both nights on a BOGO count for Accelerate.
Does a points booking count as a stay/night for these offers?

Full points reward night booking did not count for me last quarter. I haven't tried a points + pay booking but fairly sure they are treated the same way as a full points booking.
Thanks for the info on the BOGO as I am using one in a few weeks time and wasn't sure whether to factor it into my plans for achieving this quarters targets.

Thanks for that.
Interesting that my BOGO only posted as one night initially, then the second/free night posted a a couple of weeks later (and after I had another stay).
Good luck.

Pretty much identical to my offer minus the 'register for Accelerate' offer.
I've already hit most of my goals due to an already completed Xmas/NY trip where most of my stays post Jan 1 have counted.

My single stay last week has posted - now the (long) wait to see if i collect any bonus points. Would only get the 2 x 1k bonuses (and $24 towards my $56 F&B goal)
