This is something I noticed but didn't post on AFF as I decided it was just part of the PP merge into the rewards scheme, but my offer originally came from IHG Rewards Club and described me as an Ambassador (I'm actually platinum ambassador).
2. Book two stays on IHG website or mobile or app - 1,900
JV
Of course, as always, it is important to check the T & C's:
I have noticed that these two stays must be at "participating hotels": there are only 38 listed. IC Santuary Cove is among them as is CP Hunter Valley, but nowhere in Italy; so a little more difficult/expensive than I originally thought but should manage the other 6.
Where are you reading that, all my offers say any hotel worldwide?
Book 2 stays directly on the ihg.com web/mobile sites or IHG App

:shock:
Aren't they just specifying which *resorts* are participating, in addition to all the standard hotels?
Looks like a blend of two offers, or they want you to book the stay at two resorts only.

Does anyone have any experience with how a revenue night followed by a reward night credits to the account? I am hoping the revenue night counts as a stay for the purposes of this promotion.
Or is it possible to book a reward night in the name of another person?
Apologies if I was not clear.
Slight dilemma. First night at Holiday Inn Chiang Mai is ~2,800 THB and second night is ~7,000 THB but has an award night available.
I don't expect the reward night to count nor do I want it to count. I just want the first night a revenue night to count. But I have read reports if you book a revenue night preceded or followed by a reward night the whole stay won't count as a stay.
