  Mine are far better than normal, and quite achievable. 51k on offer with most relatively easy to hit.

  1. 10k for 5 nights.
  2. 8.4k stay 2 nights in Holiday inn
  3. 12k for 2 weekends.
  4. 2.4k for 1 Points and cash booking
  5. 1.5k for paying for 1 stay on the IHG card
  6. 2k for staying once in May
  7. 13.2k for achieving 5 of the 6 above
  Should do these on business and rack up close to 100k what with normal spend points and card points. .

    Actually missed the first one which is 2k for one night.
    So, if I am correct. I can stay two weekends, one in May. Pay for one with points and cash, the other with my credit card. Make one of them a long weekend to hit 5 nights. One of them in a Holiday Inn then for that I hit all 51k + usual points rewards. Two nights in a good I.C. done. Fine by me 🙂

      “Pay for one with points and cash”
      Normally the “stay” targets are cash only. Double check the terms.

        Thanks for the head up G. Cannot see anything there but chances are I’ll exceed the long weekend scenario anyway. Cheers

        I have had points+cash as a target a couple of times, and points only at least once. But yes, otherwise normally cash only

  My wife’s targets would get he 45,000 points and mine 53,000. That’s just not enough to drag me away from Hilton. To spend more than 15 nights in hotels and not get the equivalent of a single night at an IC is no longer worth it.
  I have now missed 2 accelerate promos on the bounce ie no stays since August 2017 and the targets get worse and less lucrative.
  Not including August is also irritating despite the family hols starting in late July this year. I have 3 nights in a Hilton and 3 reward nights in an IC before August 2nd but I may now switch the IC to Hilton and save myself 180,000 points.

  Hooray, finally IHG haven’t given me an impossible “corporate rate” accelerate target. This made the last 3 accelerates virtually impossible as I didn’t have a corporate rate.

  “Get excited for Economy”

  Hmmm… 😀

  Wow, 77,700 point target for me this time. Almost tempting…
