The pass phrase worked at my first Kimpton stay. A very basic “wheel of fortune” type contraption (every expense spared) was produced from behind the reception area. The spin landed on a bottle of wine, so happy with that! The one next to it was 1000 points, didn’t notice any of the other options – sorry.

Hi All,

I’m 250 points away from requalification for gold (not much but better than nothing) and thought I’d book a couple of tables through the IHG/Opentable portal.

I’m wondering what the general time is for points to post, based on people’s experiences, as I may need to find a cheap mattress run, or do an overnight for work instead of commuting home one night 😀

Thanks!

Think it’s Worth contacting IHG on this in your case if they haven’t posted yet. I contacted them for something else but also mentioned 3 bookings that hadn’t posted. They said had to allow 4-6 weeks for them to post (usually happens in few days) and then they would add them. 6 weeks elapsed and the points were added as “open table”

I used the “It’s giving” pass phrase at Kimpton Fitzroy last week. Got a £15 raid the bar voucher.
As a soon to expire diamond member, I chose breakfast as my amenity. I also seem to have been awarded bonus points as well.

Thanks

Thanks Davefl. Will manage my expectations accordingly!

Search says it is It’s Giving from 1st Nov. Is anyone able to confirm this is correct and is accepted please? First stay in a Kimpton coming up soon.
Thanks

Just to close the loop on this one. Stayed twice due to family issue and location was a fit. Second stay booked at short notice. At check in dropped bags in room and left immediately returning after midnight. Informed at check in that hotel was full (No I didn’t ask; they told me). No intention/desire to call reception past midnight anyway.

@JPJOULE, sorry not heard whether any bonus promotion coming. Could be wrong but seem to recall some past promotions 1) IHG announce quite late and 2) not unheard of to have a few weeks “break” between promotions.

Did inform staff during stay on the latest occasion. Not in the habit of complaining generally either.

Well I asked for views and I got them! Thanks to those that advised actions taken by hotel were reasonable/adequate. That was the sanity check I was seeking and head office IHG point noted.
FWIW felt twice in 2 weeks was a little OTT and the noise was not “funny” but extremely loud and would have woken many others at that hour.

Thanks to all for responses – much appreciated.
