  Was hoping for a more lucrative booking – like the HH double points last autumn which was great for higher end stays. Have 12 nights at ICs in Japan booked for early April so would have much preferred something to offer a few more bonus points – but free stuff is still free stuff.

  Bring back the old accelerate promos.

    Yes, those were fun.

    This 1000 a night is just not fun or inspiring.

    They would be as well just increasing the welcome points

    They were great. Looked forward to seeing what you were offered and then build up loads of points, which could then be used for weekends away via the Points Break promo. Ended up going to all sorts of places that I wouldn’t have otherwise visited. Those two promos probably got about an extra 20 IHG nights per year out of me.

    In 2014 I had 15 paid nights and those earned enough promo points for 15 free nights – the paid nights were not particularly expensive and the free nights were not all at crap HIXs. I doubt this is sustainable with today’s state of hotels in most countries.

  Was just looking for a hotel in Miami – Holiday Inn / HIX cost more than 60,000 points per night… Hard to get excited about these promos and the program in general…

    Yes it’s one thing to not run any promotions that will really make you switch nights to IHG from another chain unless you were going to have to stay in that IHG anyway…. but whilst the promos really aren’t worth bothering with the points cost is spiralling up. Even, I’ve noted, at hotels where cash prices have reverted to vaguely more reasonable levels, the points totals are not sometimes ridiculous.

    And then when all we’re offered is miserable 2k per night, I don’t do that for Hilton, and it doesn’t move the needle to IHG.

      It would be interesting to know if IHG and other chains are still paying what? 10%? to affiliates. That, at least, would hold up. As the % of cash paid, gets more cash presumably with higher prices of hotel rooms. Whilst the points earned are still barely worth bothering with.

  Just had a (targeted?) email that on top of the above promotion, I can earn 4k points for 4 nights. So when stacked, it’s 8k points for 4 nights.

  • B Murphy-Ryan says:

    got the same – registered for the 2k earlier and then email saying register again for extra 4k – result!

      I haven’t registered yet, but have just received the same email.

    +1, still a bit dull as it’s still the now typical 8k for 4 nights. Good days long gone.

  • Stian says:

    Same.

    Note that it’s nights not stays that are counted.
