  I’ve got a slightly chunky stay at the ICPL in January to use an expiring Ambassador certificate (booked into a Mayfair room to see what the fuss is about!), so this is a handy little bonus.

  • BA Flyer IHG Stayer says:

    My next chunky trip isn’t until February so I’ll miss out on some chunky points.

    Might have a look at swapping a couple of January points bookings to cash though I am trying to wind down my points balances.

    Shame these aren’t status earning points though.

    That really added something useful, thanks.

  Jan only — presumably at the request of the FD?!!!

  I have 16 nights starting on the 28th Dec in 3 different IHG hotels. In every case I am
  getting a lot more than 0.4p for reward nights, even against the most restrictive non refundable rates. Indeed so much more, that I bought the points during one of their offers.

  I think reward nights also now count towards status with IHG as they do with Hilton but I may be wrong. If correct though, it does give me a decent start to the year to aim for a lounge pass, This time I will be a lot more careful when triggering it. My current pass expires on the 31/12 but the IC stays don’t happen till 2/1. The problem is I triggered it not fully understanding the rules and have gotten precisely 1 nights use out of it! Worse still, I wasn’t able to use the suit upgrade and that expired at the start of December. Hey ho!!

  • Rob says:

    21 Dec21 December 07:50

    Yes, reward nights count.

    I also had a suite upgrade expire last week. To be fair it was semi-deliberate – I was planning a pre-Christmas Paris trip, probably the IC or Kimpton, and then a review opportunity came up (see HfP next week) so I took that instead.

  • John says:

    I’m sure reward nights have counted for status for long time, at least in the 12 years I’ve been a member.

    I also bought 200k points at 0.5 US cents to use on award stays in January (where 0.6c would be fair value to me, even if the hotels are asking for about 0.8 to 1c for their cash rates) so it looks like I won’t be partaking in this 2x offer

  I’m currently in my 15 year anniversary 3x bonus points period which ends late January – doesn’t anyone have experience of stacking two different bonus point offers or will I only get the 3x, or worse still will registering for this offer override the 3x and leave me with just 2x?

  • Dace says:

    21 Dec21 December 10:59

    In my experience, IHG will stack. However, I would advise looking into the t&c’s.

  • BA Flyer IHG Stayer says:

    21 Dec21 December 11:04

    Whays the 15 year bonus?

    • Rob says:

      21 Dec21 December 11:17

      IHG has been giving out targeted bonus offers to certain people who have been members for a certain number of years – 15, 20, 25 …. there seem to be various permutations.

  • Deep says:

    21 Dec21 December 12:01

    Guess it should be stacked. However, the 2X bonus points are on base points only, although you might be aware of that already since you’ve been using IHG since 15 years!

  • Andrew J says:

    21 Dec21 December 14:39

    Thanks all. I’ll register and hope for the best – and yes the 3x is on base points too, so as Diamond gives me overall double the points I would normally from a stay (that offer is capped at 20k bonus cumulatively).

  • Barry cutters says:

    22 Dec22 December 00:32

    Mine stacked recently – I got 2k per 2 nights in the recent offer but also 2x on all base spend for being a 10y member

• dst87 says:

  21 Dec21 December 12:15

  I assume this is based on stay date and not points credited date? I have a stay from 30th Dec to 1st Jan. I’m guessing that won’t trigger this promotion?

  • BA Flyer IHG Stayer says:

    21 Dec21 December 14:11

    Correct. it’s stays from 1st – 31st January

• PETER says:

  21 Dec21 December 12:35

  Not sure what IHG are up to here as it is such a short term offer.

  I have no planned stays in January anywhere and am planning hotel stays shortly for trips in March for which we have no visibility. If other chains come out with a Q1 offer, then this IHG offer doesn’t exactly encourage me to book IHG instead.

• barry cutters says:

  1) Ive just gone to use my F&B vouchers and realised the ones that were due to expire at the end of Dec have all been extended to 30th June 2024. – Good i noticed as i was planning to use rather than lose this week.

  2) i used my ambassador 241 voucher a month or so ago but i never provided it to reception in Mumbai as they didn’t ask. its still in my account. …..any one tried using a 2nd time? it will let me book with it.

  • meta says:

    21 Dec21 December 15:18

    On your second point, do you want your account closed and points forfeited?

    • TGLoyalty says:

      21 Dec21 December 16:07

      And how would that work when IHG has no idea it was meant to have been used in Mumbai but the hotel never took it?

    • Barry cutters says:

      21 Dec21 December 22:36

      I have 2 million points , and stay over 100 nights a year. I’ve been spire and now diamond ambassador for 10y.

      It’s not going to happen

• Julia says:

  @barry cutters, perhaps the reason why they’ve been extended also has something to do why this promotion is only available for 31 days? Perhaps IHG were expecting customers to use their F&B vouchers throughout the year but instead they’ve been hoarding them for holidays only to discover the hotel wouldn’t accept them i.e. Staybridge. By setting the promotional period just for a month people can only earn/add one more voucher to their pot. This makes sense to me but I’ve had three Cosmos so……

  • BA Flyer IHG Stayer says:

    21 Dec21 December 17:23

    The reason some vouchers have been extended by six months is because of the poor roll out of them earlier in the year which meant that the vouchers that were clained earlier were harder to use for some people.

    Ir’s only vouchers dated up to 31/12 that have been extended (mine that expire on 29/2 havn’t been for example)

    There is no relationshiop between the voucher extension (which began earlier in the month) and this points offer.

    • Julia says:

      That makes sense 🙂
