Just got an email a few minutes ago.
I cancelled my existing booking (abroad) and rebooked for 10k less (The price had increased since I made my original booking, else the saving would have been larger).
Like most people here, my Creation card stopped working ages ago but I guess IHG don’t know or care.

Thanks, just re-booked a stay over the second May Bank Holiday for a few thousand less points.

Also booked a last-minute get away for this weekend 🙂

You’re probably right.
The wording states early access.

It makes you wonder why they didn’t just run the last reward night discount promo, which just ended, for longer….just mucks about members.

In the USA right now so just cancelled one for tomorrow night to save 4000 points. With this promo IHG are way far cheaper then Hilton reward nights, Hilton need to respond. big time.

I have IHG silver , SO has IHG diamond

I have 20k points on my account that I want to spend for 1 night stay for us both. If my SO is a guest but the bookings from my account, do we still get to utilise her diamond benefits?

Or put it simply:

Are status benefits based on who arrives at the hotel or who makes the booking?

Status benefits are for the person making the booking as far as I am aware, and will be extended to the person they are sharing a room with.

But if I were to book the room for her alone, she wouldn’t be allowed to inherit the person bookings status perks (which I know can be avoided if we are a little sneaky) but that would make me think that status determination is based on the guest?
