A coming ICH promotion (80K PC Points or 16K DJ/FF Miles)

[oz_mark]

Something to think about. At least 4 brands isn' as bad as 5!

Points Only | IHG

While 4 brands isn't as bad as 5... Are there 4 brands within Australia?

I've tried racking my brain, and all I can think of is: Holiday Inn, Crowne Plaza, Intercontinental.

Is there a brand I'm missing ?

Nope, but at least getting a fourth brand doesn't require going as far as getting 5!!

I agree.

For me four is a possibility whereas five was never going to happen :!:

Looks like I'll be cancelling one of my points stays in the U.S. and paying for an absolute el cheapo to get the 4th brand!

Keep the promo in mind but dont register yet, there may be more codes that offer more, the current 2x promo has free nights for APAC members which is not triggered if you registered using another 2x promo code.

This could be interesting for me..

I am booked for the HI in kings cross London for 6 nights in October.

The week prior I was looking at possibly staying at a CP in London as I'll be doing my own thing,

That weekend I am deciding where to go,

So I will have:

3 nights on stay 1
2 nights on stay 2
6 nights on stay 3

Could be interesting depending on what I can book cheaply!!

 

[markis10]

I would be looking at a HIX, we dont have them here

Or an Indigo. There's one at Paddington.

 

[nlagalle]

Does the priority privilege work in the UK?

 

[NM]

Do they count Holiday Inn and Holiday Inn Express as two different brands?

They did for CTC!

Nope. Although they may have a similar scheme there.

That's a bugger... Oh well..

Very wise words markis10. Over at FT many are registering and finding they are already registered. Very strange. Best to sit on your hands and see what else is afoot.

Can anyone actually see this code in their "My Offer Status" page?

I'm tempted to call up and ask what's going on, I've got a number of stays coming up that will count towards the 40 days very early on.

It will show on the 15th, when the promo starts.

They've recently done something to the offer status page. I've got offers that list as expiring in -174 days time :shock:

Excellent. You're always a source of useful information!

I went and cancelled a points booking in Dallas and booked into the Candlewood Suites near the airport. I can easily stay at HI/CP/Intercontinental, just needed that 4th one which I've now locked in!
