  The most generous summer promo for most travellers has by distance Accor (regardless individual ihg accelerate targets)…I am leisure traveller (about 50 hotel nights a year) and I can’t find any value at all booking ihg property anywhere in the world…50% off just slash the price to around local average price for comparable property, but as this stays don’t earn ihg points, I am still better off going elsewhere.

    Accor have been rubbish with me. I’m actively avoiding them for not sorting my probs and ignoring my emails.

  Hi Rob, how this compares to accelerate is perhaps a little more complex than you imply but I agree with your general conclusion. It seemed that for most accelerate was worth around 55k points fot X challenges which were much more difficult for some than others. For those like you who will most likely only use IC, CP or Indigo then accelerate, however difficult, will only generate one free night stay. Thus, this offer would seem better than accelerate. However, for those who want to build IHG status, want to bank points for pointsbreaks , wish to make midweek stays, focus on lower cost redemptions that offer potentially high value such as HI Wembley then accelerate remains better.

  Are there blackout dates for this promo? Looking at Carlton Cannes from 19-21 August and it’s showing the same price via this link as the normal site.

    Doesn’t seem to be live?

    Not working for rotterdam HIE either

    There is a list of participating hotels online. Very unlikely the Carlton in August would sign up.

    It is live though, I saw rates last night. 2 night min weekend stay remember.

      There must be blackout dates because the Intercontinental Cannes is listed as a participating hotel. I get that rates are always subject to availability but surely it’s better to say ‘blackout dates apply’ rather than subject to availability as BAR is nearly always available unless the hotel is full!

  Frankly speaking we better book on HFP website, we get double points and we will accelerate our Accelerate promotion…

  Any chance this is stackable with the ambassador free night?

  bit OT but appreciate any help if poss, myself and partner have 25k and 40k of virgin miles in respective accounts and want to pool together and convert to IHG for a Park lane stay, any easy way to do it (as currently in separate virgin accounts…?)
  Thanks in advance, any help appreciated
  (p.s. I have already transferred my 25k into my IHG account) and her 40k sits in her virgin account (she has no IHG yet…)

  • Rob says:

    No, sorry

    Unless you have the same surname, in which case you could test whether they just match by last name or both names …..

    • Alan Pinchard says:

      26 Jun26 June 15:02

      Thanks Rob, not even the same name so cant test it, oh well thats a bugger as dont have an IHG card any more so not really accumulating any, can I do something else with unwanted virgin (avois?)

      • Rob says:

        26 Jun26 June 15:13

        Hilton transfer?

        Virgin Vouchers?

• Alan Pinchard says:

  26 Jun26 June 15:06

  Actually just seen your post on this, not to worry I will put into separate IHGs and work to build up, thank you

    I could be missing something here but doesn’t Virgin allow you transfer to other accounts for £15 per transfer.

    • Rob says:

      26 Jun26 June 22:13

      No

      • Martin says:

        26 Jun26 June 22:29

        You can transfer between accounts, costs more the more you transfer so not a flat 15 pounds eg transfer 10k miles is 90 pounds.

        • Rob says:

          26 Jun26 June 23:36

          Which is awful beyond belief ….

  I can’t make this work. If I go through Avis link I get exactly same price as via IHG site. So Barcelona Indigo is 187€ for a Thursdat to Sunday stay in July. It says Your Rate Available but it’s not a discount… Tried with 5 others, same story and even for Newcastle which most definitely had no blackout for weekends in July

    Was working yesterday. Perhaps you need to book only Fri to Sun dates.
