Priority Club launched number of stay bonuses back in December for stays between January 7 and April 30, 2013. You can access my original post about these promotions here.
There was an unusual component to these stay bonuses. You would earn unlimited bonus points for every 5 nights (5000 extra) beyond the targeted 5/10/15 nights offer.
I have received several questions like the one below from Natasha about posting of these additional bonus points:
The first threshold bonus i.e. 10K bonus points for 5 nights will post normally with the stay. The additional bonus points of 5000 points for every 5 nights do not, however.
Priority Club seems to be running periodical sweeps for these bonus points and post them sometimes weeks after you have fulfilled the requirement. I have no idea why they are doing this. Good luck contacting the (mostly useless) Priority Club contact center in the Philippines.
Have these bonuses extended until August 31?
When I just logged into my account, I saw again a reminder about the bonus points offer that I had signed up for; 10K points for 5 nights and additional 5K points for every 5 nights beyond that are consumed by April 30, 2014.
The expiry date of this promotion, however, is entirely different on my promotions. The web page indicates that the expiry date of this promotion would be not April 30 but rather August 31, 2013, although it shows the April 30 expire date as well.
There has been ZERO communication from Priority club about extension of this offer.
Conclusion
Your educated guess is likely as good as mine. I have no idea what is happening with Priority Club regarding this promotion. It seems, however, that the promotion expiry date has been extended to August 31 instead of April 30 if you go by the date in “My Promotions”.
It would be great if Priority Club could inform its members about the expiry date of this promotion.
my acccount shows that this promotion ended as expected by march 2013 and it has been removed from the list. Perhaps they kept it active for specific markets, US based or other…
There were quite a few one time bonus offers that expired on March 31, 2013. I will have a post coming about those this weekend. This first quarter stay bonus was set to expire at the end of April, however.
my account also shows Aug 31 as end date for the promotion now. I probably gonna do 20 nights more at a CP anyway. so it would be a nice addon.
Thanks, John. I guess we’re all in the same boat for now…
This is not the first time I’ve seen wacky end dates appear in my account, but all the general descriptions once I’m logged on and the T&C still say April 30. I have weekend promos that were supposed to be 90 days from registration and they are in there at a year, and previously I had one jump another year, though I never earned any points on those so I can’t say they weren’t actual extensions because PC wanted me to come stay. Still I think the website is messed up and something odd internally in the background coding must trigger the seeming date extensions. . . Since a messed up website is more consistent with PC since they changed their website.
I agree. We don’t yet know if these have been extended or not. We should now in the next week or so IF we have new Stay bonuses for the summer period.
