  To stay by the end of Dec kills this promotion. One month of availability really isn’t great.

  I recently applied for the IHG Rewards Card and am still waiting to activate my Gold Elite status – if I make a hotel booking today or tomorrow now to take advantage of the 5x points offer, will my status still be applied to the same booking after? (I’m aware Gold Elite doesn’t give much but still want my extended checkout & freebie!)

    Normally goes on what status you are on arrival so should be fine, but extended checkout not guaranteed (and conversely may be available to anyone of zero status by asking nicely anyway); so you’re literally worrying about a KitKat.

      Ah I wasn’t aware about that regarding extended checkout appreciate the tip as the IHG site has it down as a marked benefit. I’ll have you know KitKats are serious business in this household! In all seriousness…will go ahead and claim the extra points straight away, thanks.

  So, 3 weeks really, (as Xmas plans will already be solidified for 99% of people). That’s VERY tight. Some may rebook existing stays where rates are comparable, but how many new bookings will that really drive?

    I must be in the 1%… Is there even such a thing as “solidified plans” in covid times? Don’t think I’ve booked anything in the last 18 months more than 2 weeks in advance…

    We may think rebooking is a good thing about a promotion.
    The hotel chains don’t !

  I’ve got one stay I’m going to rebook.
  Others stays they’ve taken one night for already, and I’m not messing around too much there.
  Got a reward night at JFK for 29k points Vs. £167 cash, that could be changed, but need to do the sums, and with an early departure, I’m not going to benefit from much.
  A Hilton night at SFO as well, but that has a shuttle whereas the IHG hotels don’t seem to have one.

  What with PCR tests being needed, and BA flight uncertainty, I’m not really looking at adding any additional nights.

  This offer works well for me.. I’ll be hitting the full 70k limit

    Do I read correctly that you earn 5x from the first stay onwards as long as it’s booked today/tomorrow? I.e. 5x doesn’t kick in on 2nd or 3rd stay?

    • Rob says:

      Correct.

        Appears that it wasn’t. 🙁 only received 2x for my stay, unless the extra points will be credited afterwards.

  Hi, is the 5x regardless of how many stays you’ve had during the promo period ?

  To get 3x it had to be your 3rd stay, is that the same with the 5x ?

  Or is it just every stay booked will earn 5x, even if it’s your first or second stay during the promo period ?

  Cheers

  Ah, question answered in the post above 😆😆
  Sorry.

  I’m one of the poor suckers who is having their ING credit card cancelled despite never breaking any rules or ever abusing the curve card to manufacture spending.

  If I have two IHG stays booked on it will I get the bonus 11k offer or will Creation just not give me the points ?
  They don’t seem to be giving any points which were earned over the past couple of months 🙁

  • Anna says:

    This offer isn’t related to the cc (unless I’ve missed something) so points would be awarded by IHG, not Creation. Whether your IHG account will survive long enough to enjoy them, remains to be seen!
