  If you have a rail card you can get a cheaper rate with better cancellation terms and any deposit is refundable.

    Is that through IHG’s website or railcard’s ?

  NB. Whilst still a good deal, the Indigo Newcastle Groupon offer is “from £69/89+” pricing, so will fluctuate depending on required dates.

  Weekend in September is £89/night Standard Room and £109 for King Room, solid value nevertheless

  Are IHG hotels generally honouring the free breakfast for diamond elites? There seems to be reports on the HfP that hotels are refusing, but not sure if this is isolated anomalies. Thanks.

    Good question. They should do. I have to admit that I used the lounge in IC Paris yesterday and was not told that I could use the restaurant, although in reality I doubt it would have been an issue.

    Hotel Indigo Newcastle is honouring the breakfast but you do need to select it as your benefit when you check in. I stayed there last weekend and have stayed several times since it opened, its been a roller-coaster of ups and downs with my stays but they are on an up currently and my last 2 stays have been absolutely great, front desk staff are great.

  Also, another IHG flash sale I got emailed about yesterday. Book until 24th june for stays until 26th August… 20% off on the cash element when booking using cash + points

  Have IHG confirmed that the free breakfast applies to reward stays? I saw some reports that it was only for paid stays.

    Rules contain no restrictions.

      To be precise, “The choice of amenity is only offered on Qualified Stays”. Assuming that this is the same as a “Qualifying Stay”, it needs to be a Quallifying Rate:

      “Qualifying Rates include Reward Night/​Free Night* and most business and leisure rates, such as Advance Saver rates, Best Flexible rates, Global sales negotiated rates (including but not limited to Corporate Gold rates), national/​regional/​local government rates, and specified leisure rates as confirmed by IHG’s reservation systems. In Asia, the Middle East, Africa, and Greater China (Mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan), Qualifying Rates include all locally negotiated rates. Note: In Greater China, Qualifying Rates also include all corporate negotiated rates settled with hotels via regular payment. In all other parts of the world, locally negotiated rates are classed as Qualifying Rates if the rate is discounted less than 30%”

      The terms were updated on 8th of June to make it clear that reward nights are a qualifying rate.

  IHG’s Summer promotion offer runs until 31 August, not 30 September as you wrote in this article.

    Fixed, apologies. The only way you can write HfP efficiently is to rely on your memory for 90% of the facts you list, which to be fair does work 95% of the time.
