Hi all,
If booking through BA Holidays, does this count as a qualifying rate for status/points? I can see they exclude OTAs like Hotels.com/Booking.com but it doesn’t seem clear if BA Holiday packages are excluded. My guess is that it isn’t, but would be good to know!
I have the feeling it probably falls under ‘Rates provided by tour operator/wholesaler’ but I’m not sure.
Generally no, they do not count with IHG. Sometimes you may earn points on restaurant spend, but don’t expect them to be paying commission to BAH and give you points/status nights.
Yes it is an excluded rate. BA Hols is still an OTA at the end of the day.
You can give your IHG number when you check in but be prpared for a ‘no’
Remember that all your IHG status benefits need to be paid for and they get the money for those by not having to pay commmssion to agents and expect people to book direct.
