That sucks for a first-timer

 

[Jacques Vert]

As usual, stays must be qualifying stays. I presume the free part of a weekend BOGO certificate is not considered "qualifying"; does anyone have experience as to whether the paid portion of such a stay would qualify?

 

[Rick93]

I've got a five-night stay at Adelaide IC in late October .... will post my results after I get my allocation of points.

My 'offer' this time around could potentially land me some 17,400 ( bonus ) points for the five nights ... however, one of those nights is a freebie / AMB cert. night.

My AMB night is mid October so I guess we will both find out about the same time.

I have always got the free night as a qual night as well as the paid night

SO pays approx USD200.00pa to have Platinum Ambassador membership so we get elite benefits anyway without having for requalify using hotel stays.

Looks like the Globetrotter bonus can be more than one country but you'll only get one 8K stay per country. We've got a few IHG stays coming up in Oct/Nov in YVR, PIT, PTY & SJO of which the first three are award nights but may have to rethink those options and see if paying is an option as reward nights don't count.

Also have a 3 night stay on points at Candlewood Suites in LAS plus a paid night at HIX at LAX however that was a mystery hotel deal through Hotwire so won't qualify.

Rebook using points plus pay. Sometimes as good as 20000 points plus $40. Would then be eligible stays

This seems to be the base level offer. I had about 2 stays with IHG last year and received this offer as well.

Seems very attainable indeed especially being based in the UK for the rest of the year.

I just wish Brisbane had an IHG property so I could sneak one in for September to get an easy 5000 points.

 

[QF WP]

I am a base level member with maybe 2-3 stays a year at present, so I'm happy getting any offer (and achieving some bonus points). I remember when I used to do a lot of overnight travel and had Platinum....

Yes, BNE is a bit poorly with hotel chains, but come March 1 next year, you'll be happy with a HIX won't you??

 

[Hvr]

Have now booked the requisite number of nights including using the mobile app to book one of them.

All I need to do is spend $56 on food/drink and I'll get all of the points.
