Priority Club, the Holiday Inn / Crowne Plaza / InterContinental loyalty programme, has launched a 50% bonus on points purchases. This is only valid until 22nd November.

Remember that Priority Club points count for status. If you think that you will not be able to retain Platinum status for next year before 31st December, this is a decent chance to buy the points you need to get you up to 60,000 for the year. Purchased points DO count for status.
About Head for Points
Have been looking at this one but not sure the points are good redemption value even at this discounted rate. It might be better to take out the Black PC Visa card because that gets you status and a free night for £10 spend. As ever, YMMV.
Only worth doing to top up an account or to maintain / get status for 2013, to be honest.
Should be £10k spend!,
Thanks! That was exactly what I needed, but somehow missed on the newsletter or on the PC website.
If I were to buy 20k points, would that automatically get me Gold? (not that is it worth much of course)
Yes. Although you can buy Gold status outright for $50 anyway. https://priorityclub.points.com/goldstatus/index.jsp Or get the Priority Club credit card, which gives you free Gold. The paid card (£99 fee) gets you free PLATINUM plus 40,000 points – see the Credit Cards Update page (link in the black bar at the top of the page) for details.
Only a good deal if you need status. Cash + Points for redemptions is the cheaper way to buy points at $70 per 10k
