IHG Rewards Club “Stay In AMEA For Up To 71K Points” Promotion Including 1,000 Points Just For Registering For Stays Through December 31, 2018

IHG Rewards Club has launched a new promotion called “Stay in AMEA for up to 71,000 points” that reminds me of Book Direct OTA promotion that they have had for the past couple of years.

Members that live in Asia-Pacific (excluding Greater China), Middle East & Africa can earn up to 71,000 bonus points for just three stays in the same area through December 31, 2018, including 1,000 bonus points just for registration!

You can access and sign up for this offer on IHG’s website here.

Here’s how the bonus points add up:

You get 1,000 bonus points for signing up, 10,000 bonus points after your first stay and 30,000 bonus points after two additional stays. You will get 10,000 bonus points for each stay that is at InterContinental hotel.

For some reason the offer tracks twice on my offers?

Conclusion

This is great offer and I truly hope that it works better than the previous iterations where some members had the bonus points clawed back when IHG claimed that it was targeted offer when it was advertised on their own web page.

I am actually on my way back to Asia from South America next week and will have the three InterContinental stays by early March and will report back about my findings.
