IHG® Dining Rewards program replacing Priority Privilege from 1st July 2014

[Rick93]

Got 'the call' yesterday ...

Told the female caller, I was still with PP until March 15.

No pressure at all ?

I asked to have all 'offers' sent to me via email. "Sorry - we don't send out emails".

So that's interesting.

She said, you can easily access 'the offer' from:

IHG® Dining Rewards-Benefits

It is actually a little painful right now. You need to bump over to participating hotels

IHG® Dining Rewards- Participating Hotels

Then select each city (unless you are adelaide intercon!) and drill in to each specifically; then select the cryptic rateplan then hustle off to IHG site ... we may all be memorizing the Rate plan codes to simply adjust directly on the IHG site.

I got the call today, maybe they're calling all PP members. Mine expires in December. I also asked for an email, she then directed me to the website.

Just checking in with the board members - has anyone signed up for the 'new' Dining Rewards scheme yet (Australia). Rereading the T's and C's and checking the price to remind myself of the +ve's and -ve's and interested to know if anyone has taken the plunge. Only 11 days left on my PP card.

I bought my membership last week for around $320. Positive for me was going to the Crowne Plaza Coogee last Friday night and getting the discount on beers and food.

I hear the free night has no black outs which is a +ve, I haven't tried using it yet as I am figuring out the best hotel to use it. It would be good if there were some offers out, the lady I spoke to said there was an email offer so hopefully we see them soon.

Next countries to be added...

The programme is set to launch in the UAE, Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand by the end of 2014, meaning even greater opportunities to redeem room and dining benefits, and will be available at hotels across South East Asia, Japan and the Middle East by the end of 2015.

I see the Kiwis get their card cheaper

Use the rate codes I published.

ie http://www.ihg.com/hotels/gb/en/res...C.IDPBG&qSHp=1&qSmP=2&qSrt=sDD&qWch=0&srb_u=1

change IDPBG to appropriate code for rate desired in above URL

That link is for 2 for 1, just click change for city and dates and make sure the BOGO box is checked in rate, if that makes sense.

Hi Markis10

Seems it does not work on a Ipad, as just got home and it works fine on the laptop.

Thanks again

Having a look at the Participating Hotels on the Dining Rewards site: https://www.ihg.com/diningrewards/gb/en/participating-hotels

Seeing the 4 rate plans they loaded up for each hotel. Makes sense.

Have their been any monthly or other type deal newsletters sent out like PP used to have? Anybody expecting to see this type of deal?

Hi Guys any advice on if this would be better value over the IC ambassador program? Looking at trying to score a junior suite at IC hong kong 14december anyone able to tell me if the IC BOGO voucher can be used for a sunday arrival? this program seems to give you access to more deals but they seem to be limited to local hotels. any advice appreciated.

You cannot use a AMB bogo for a Sunday arrival, must be Thur/Fri for Middle East otherwise Fri/Sat arrivals elsewhere. Your paying $300+ for a free night, I dont think it compares that well, but it would depend on the going rates which of course can be booked as per the above link.

Thanks Markis10, thanks for the prompt reply just checked the link above no rooms available for the pp rate back to the drawing board. maybe the IHG F&F rate

Hi JB2000 - interested to know the value of the 'generous e-voucher', if you wouldn't mind saying, please.

I bought my membership last week for around $320. Positive for me was going to the Crowne Plaza Coogee last Friday night and getting the discount on beers and food.
