Note that this offer is combinable with all the other IHG Rewards Club promotions that you can find here. You should sign up for this promotion when you have eligible paid stay coming up within 90 days.
Conclusion
This is the first time that I have seen an Elite Member Next Stay Bonus at 5,000 bonus points. Similar promotions have previously yielded 3,000 points.
Thanks again for LoyaltyLobby reader Michael that sent me bunch of codes last week. I will have more posts with bonus offers coming up in the next few days.
What if I choose the mileage as preference? Do I earn extra mile?
Some promotions automatically convert the earned points to miles. I have no personal experience with these one-time offers.
thanks!
Do you get the bonus if you stay on points, or points and money?
Nope. Has to be a qualifying stay for points.
It appears IHG has raised the rates on its hotels recently. I booked rooms in August for stays during the fall and the rates for each room has been raised a good $5 per night on each room regardless of location and dates. This may seem small but in the long run this can add up in the course of a year.
Somebody has to pay for all those points that will be awarded on their Big Win promotion, hence it is always the paying customer that suffers.
Of course we all pay for them at the end.
Likely due to the occupancy rates. There are always rates going up & down. I have not seen any change on the rates that I have paid since the beginning of this year.
I hope this one works better than previous 5K Platinum and 1k Gold Bonus offers I registered for in June. I just got told that my recent stays didn’t qualify for either since I am already a Plat member. IHG needs to do a better job of explaing Offers or NOT allowing you to register for ones you don’t qualify for.
One of the Platinum offers did post to my Royal Ambassador account that is Platinum one by default.
You should just accept that not all the promos will work for one reason or other, but that most will.
THANKS for all these postings. You’re a lifesaver. Do you know if these promos work on the first stay after being upgraded to Gold from the HP promotion? In other words, if I’m a new member, use the HP promo and this one (and many others you posted), do I get the elite bonus promos on that first day? THANKS.
The promotions that require you to be an elite member won’t kick in before your first stay has posted and made you Gold member. You will get those from your second stay then.
I recently got a IHG Platnium status match, and it shows in my account, but neither 1012 or 1037 work for me – I get “The code you entered is invalid for your membership.” Ideas?
I have been listing new promo codes that are valid fr 2014. Have a look at the Hotel Promotions tab and choose IHG Rewards Club.
