IHG Rewards - Win Big

[TonyHancock]

Here's mine. FWIW I'm an earned Plat with 5 or 6 stays so far this year and another 8 forward bookings.

• Stay one and done (one stay) - 1,000
• Stay more and earn more (stay 11 nights) - 13,000
• Explore our brands (stay at two different IHG brands) - 18,000
• Survey the win (complete survey) - 100
• Live the city life (stay at four of the properties listed) - 9,600
• Eat it up (spend $190 USD on food & beverage) - 1,200
• Getaway with a win (resort stay) - 9,000
• Win big (complete all offers) - 52,000

Out of a potential 104k I reckon I can pick up 40k or so without too much trouble. The resort stay is no chance.

Isn't the Crowne Plaza in the hunter Valley an option in the list you received?

Ahh, yes, I missed that one somehow. I'll need to do a Newcastle trip later in the year so it would certainly be worth spending the night there if it's effectively worth 61,000 points...

Best I can do if if meet all criteria is 56,200 points. Now if they include award stays then I very well might meet all the criteria. If award stays are not included, then its not a great promo for me.

Edit following reading the T&C properly:

A stay constitutes a qualifying stay when paying qualifying rates, which include most business and leisure rates

so not very good for me.

My last award stay came up as qualifying, you never know, about to book a few HI nights in BKK on points breaks, if they count it will know a few down very quickly.

Mine will need to be the resort stay I already have booked as an award (not points break). If it posts as qualifying, then a bonus, but I won't be expecting it to go that way. Shame my last three nights don't count either (being September), and the next 5 nights are going to SPG (no IHG property available within walking distance of my required venue at less than $700/night this week.

Is everyone of the opinion that one stay could suffice multple challenges? I mean, will booking the first 1000 point stay on line for the "Try One & Done" award, count toward one stay in the "Stay More & Earn More" and also count as one booking for the "Book With Us" and so on?

They will. On the landing page under your offers is a series of 'badges' that you are awarded as you go. One of them is for if/when you complete two of your offers with one stay, so you must be able to double dip.

and wait for it

For a grand total of 50,000...

This is exactly the offer I Got, should be able to do it though between HI Mel, CP AKL and IC MEL

 

[bass_ke]

I'm guessing these bonus points count toward status as well?

If so I'll be IHG Plat before the years end, feel's kind naughty

Or between the CP, IC and HI in Sydney.

The bonus points don't count towards status. (Well AFAIK they used to but not anymore)

33,100 points for a trip that was already being planned! Thanks IHG. Pity the only "Get Out There" options are in South America or North America, certainly struggle to meet that criteria in the next 3 months.

Did you click - all qualifying hotels?

 

[ozcos]

Where do you guys see this? Did you get an email, or just clicking the link in the first post? I click the link and just get an empty page?

The site has had some availability issues over the last couple of days. Try the link again later.

 

[bass_ke]

Aye, it took me a couple of goes over the course of yesterday to have it work

 

[ozcos]

Thanks. I just tried again & it worked.

 

[Abrcrmb]

Did you click - all qualifying hotels?

Yeah I did, and they're all in Brazil, Mexico, USA and Canada. Maybe I could creatively re-route one of these trips to Asia through the LOTFAP...

 

[medhead]

Well the registration email doesn't seem to tell me any qualifying conditions. But when I log into my account the is an offer that says 1 stay and I get 50k bonus points.
