IHG Special

[Deleted member 29185]

From the searches I have done at other properties the special is fir 3 night minimum.

Really? I might try it but that is not what the T&Cs state....

Terms & Conditions
Rates are per room, per night and are subject to availability. Offer includes up to 25% off room rates. Tax and service charges apply. Final bill will be presented in local currency. Full prepayment is required at time of booking, can not be amended and is non-refundable. Credit card surcharges apply. Blackout dates apply. Rates only applicable to participating hotels in Asia (excluding China, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan), Middle East and Africa. Rates for the participating hotels are available until 30 September 2014 with a minimum of 2 nights stay, excepting Holiday Inn Melbourne on Flinders which requires a minimum stay of 3 nights.

EDIT: I just attempted two 3 night stays at both and nothing available.

Whinge coming up......markis10, close your eyes .

I've been trying different dates at CP SP and IC SC and nothing there either. Has anyone been able to find dates?

I find the IHG website pathetic for trying to find availability. Who has the time to keep inputting different dates to try and find availability. I also note that sometimes it loses the specials code after trying an unsuccessful date. Very frustrating.

Is there an easier way? Phone IHG? Does that work?

UMM, are you not a PP member, the current specials at those hotels would leave the "special" as not so special, especially the BOGO no cert at the IC?

FWIW I am seeing availability outside of school holidays with the CP at $125 odd

Yes that is true. I must admit, I was more trying to get the code to work. I wasn't interested for Gold Coast per se (unless a bargain jumped up) but I was for POM as they don't accept PP. Doesn't resolve the fact that IHG is a pain to search for particular availability.

I am not a PP member but got this email. I tried the link IHG provided, however I can't see any properties with any discounts.

EDIT: For some reason I can now see the discount...

I spoke too soon. If I used dates Markis10 used, I get $116 per night CP SP, but if use early dates in September, October or early November then the rate shoots up to $165 per night.

Not surprising given the offer end Sept 30 and as mentioned it's likely during school holidays they blackout.
