It seems confirmed on TW.
Thanks
I got Marriott points for my birthday last year! I think it was just 1k points but every little bit helps.
I only got 300 points, but what the heck, I’ve spent time chasing smaller amounts (and it’s 100 SPG points!)
Marriott gave me a night credit last year but they didn’t this year for bday.
I just checked my IHG account. I applied last year on May 7th.
To my surprise, there is an unrestricted free night in my account dated April 30th. The expiration date is May 10th, 2019. Yeah.
I got a free elite night credit on my birthday, which is awesome since I am going for 50.
“Datapoint of somebody getting an unrestricted free night certificate on the Chase IHG card on card anniversary even though they applied May 10th, 2017. Fingers crossed this means all Chase IHG cardholders are getting at least one unrestricted free night certificate.”
The DP specified that the cert was issued on Apr 30th, which is still before the unrestricted night cert cutoff of May 1st. Therefore, I don’t think that DP means anything. What we need are DPs of certs that are issued after May 1st.
