Intercontinental Sale

[kamchatsky]

Picked up from FT. Apparently Sydney/Melbourne/Perth IC for AU$199, and NZ$169 for IC Wellington. Not sure if it applies to international destinations (I hope so). Will start on 11 March.

I will almost feel guilty taking advantage of that rate, the IC Sydney Mini Bar is nice when you dont have to pay for the drinks as a Royal Ambassador, and the points are a bonus!

Oh well, I am not RA (just don't have the funds for that!). But with my only stay in Sydney IC previously (actually any ICs) 2 years ago, I really enjoyed it! I look forward for the sale .....

Yes that to me is one of the most useful RA perks
But always having free internet would also rate highly.

Might have to book a football weekend at the new Rialto

 

[markis10]

I was at the IC Rialto in Feb (part of a birthday treat for me and the family) and despite the bad reports on FT for treatment of the elite frequent guests, I found the hotel very good with nothing amiss. I recomemnd if you have status with IC to book the best deluxe room, you should get an upgrade to the premier rooms in the old wing which are big and include baths.

I think they still have some issues with their entertainment systems, apart form that its great. Note street parking is available in weekends, Valet is a killer at $50.

I’m sorry, you’re early. Please come back when access to our exclusive offer opens at midday EST on 11 March 2009.

In which TIMEZONE!

EST and EDST have passed now. US EST?

Oh, and the other link posted here is now returning page not found for Burswood Perth.

Oh well. If it's only the base rooms, a decent King size bed is more important than price

Nope, AUS and NZ properties only, according to the site.
