Anyone know any cheap hotels to take advantage of this offer? I'm assuming booking through a third party website would not qualify for this offer also?

Depends where you are located and what you consider to be cheap?
On the GC I quite often see the IC and CP get close to $100/night on occasion.

Perfect - a trip to SYD in early July sees me staying at HI Potts Point one night, then HI Parramatta the next night. AMEA Book Direct 3 stays done and bonus points will be coming my way 
Even better when they piggyback the Accelerate Q2 promo as well

Stays have now been done (HI Darling Harbour replaced HI Parramatta) and now waiting on them to be processed and the bonus points credited...

Really quick posting of points (and 9,000 bonus ones for second stay) for stay overnight Sunday [and a separate one overnight Monday - both in my account by this morning (Thursday AM)]:
I understood the points and pay stay isn't a qualifying stay under the T&C's (bolding is mine):
but I needed it for my Accelerate Q2 promo.

Only just logged in to look at my account and it shows:
But it does seems a little misleading at the top of the screen:
when the T&C's for the offer clearly show that a 3rd stay will earn a further 15K or am I missing something?

Mine was a stuff up as well. Needed a call and a manual point adjustment to correct it.

Courtesy of trippin_the_rift (an AFF'er) posting (sharing) it on his Twitter feed, here's a YouTube video on the IHG Europe "Book Direct' 2017 program, should elicit a laugh or two: https://youtu.be/jf_HP3FvTMc

It is my belief that you will get both. I am yet to test it but will try next weekend

This is very confusing.
I received 1000 points for OTA Book Direct 2017.
First stay in June I received 5000 points as OTA Book Direct 2017 - First Stay.
Second stay in July I received 9000 points as DO NOT Register.
Is this promotion ending now or valid through to end of year?

JohnK, you have met 3 of the 5 hurdles of the offer. Others have posted upthread about the same incorrect wording - ignore what they put in the field. Concentrate on the prize - you have until 31 December to get the last level of bonus points. I'm sure you'll do that

Mate, look into exactly what you signed up for. I doubt you will be getting "10,000 points for IC stays" EVERY TIME .....
You have most likely signed up for the 10,000 points for booking an IC Club access room ( which I think is a 'one-off' offer ).
With a cross-over of 'OFFERS', I've lost track of where I stand.
Returned from IC Saigon Vietnam a few days ago, and my 'standard' points have already posted.
But my 'promotions' points will probably take a up to a few weeks.
I too don't have an accurate 'MY OFFERS' listing on my logged in page.
According to the IHG system, I am already registered for this 40k offer, but it doesn't show in 'MY OFFERS'.
My recent IC stay was all I needed to get 'over the line' for the PREVIOUS promo, where I should get a total of 43k in points. Plus, there is this current offer, that overlaps.
It's now too confusing to follow it ....

The offer is "ENJOY 10,000 BONUS POINTS WITH EVERY CLUB INTERCONTINENTAL® STAY". So, needs to be a Club stay, but multiple times should be fine.
