  I was been monitoring the rates at an IH Express before 30th April, and the room rates have gone up by £10 (since the beginning of January) for the night I was after. I logged into my account, and there was no discount for members – the same room rates. The room rates if staying tonight are 40% cheaper than those in April. The redemption rate is 15,000 – my calculation based on buying IHG points 100% bonus when on sale, would be equivalent to £70 – compared to the room rate of £120. So, I will be using points instead.

  Hi
  Whilst I note the statement about this promotion “should work alongside the generous Reward nights, Faster’ , being based in the UK , some readers may have also registered for the earlier promotion of “spend 2-nights in selected hotels in the UK , receive a free night certificate” promotion . I just asked IHG about combining the two, since I have a stay at the Met hotel Leeds in February .
  IHG’s response is:

  “To answer your question, I wouldn’t suggest combining 2 promotions as most likely, either of the two will be invalidated. I know it sounds tempting at first glance but a promotion could not be subscribed to in conjuntion to another promotion. I hope this is clear and as always, thank you for the loyalty”

  So on the face of it – it is not risk free!

  I imagine if a query came directly from HeadForPointe, IHG Rewards Club would be in more or a hurry to clearly clarify “yes or no” to combining the two.

  For people who had not registered for the “2 night promotion” , no risk/impact .

    Just contemplating making a booking today.
    The Ts&Cs for The “IHG Flash Sale with 30% off ” state Offer cannot be used in conjunction with any other offer, discount or promotion. So you’re only likely to get one (for me the free night is more valuable and I wouldn’t want to jeopardise it)

    Ya Ron would be interested to know what the Met is like as we go up often to see our Daughter who is in Uni there.

      It’s ‘OK’. The public areas of the hotel are rather nice. We even had our work Christmas party there a year or two ago. I stayed a few weeks ago and the room was fairly basic. You could tell the age of the place from the bathroom. Separate hot/cold taps etc. Quite austere.

  Hi , please see my comment later in the day. Before combining offers , I’d suggest contacting IHG rewards club and get a written confirmation that the promotions wouldn’t invalidate each other !

    I wouldn’t bother. IHG rewards club CS couldn’t find their way out of a wet paper bag!

    If they confirm something, then good luck getting it.
    If they deny something, it might well still work.

  Slightly Off topic but something id like to raise an IHG:

  Does anyone else have issues with the way IHG deal with receipts from their Points+Cash Bookings? Each time i complete one, i cant get a receipt for the cash paid from the hotel so i have to apply to IHG directly. Each time i do i receive differing requests for differing proof to be able to attain my receipt, ranging from/to:

  My complete credit card number [which is obviously a bad thing to send via email]
  My last 4 digits of Credit Card [even though they are on the booking i send them, they request i have to rewrite them to them as they cant take from my booking.

  Each time i have long drawn out mails every 2 days [as thats their turnaround for reply… when they remember to reply], just to get what i legally require.

  Any thoughts?

    It doesn’t surprise me that you struggle as points and cash bookings are essentially you buying the points from IHG and then using those points along with some you already have to pay for the booking.

      indeed… but just seems very painful. Doing paperwork is in general but having this extra layer of bureaucracy doesnt help…
