Our Verdict
E-mails have been sent out, but it looks like registering doesn’t actually work properly yet. Fingers crossed we get a link that will work for everybody, but it seems everytime you click the the link a new unique code is generated so not sure if that will work or not. Make sure to stack this with other promotions such as the Accelerate & AmEx Kimpton offer
Hat tip to readers Mikey & Tinytavosa
ok. let me take a poll here. do you all stay at IHG frequently? i havent stayed at IHG for over 5 years cuz i enjoy the services of other chains. as a result, every time i see doc post of offers, I NEVER qualify. even the kimpton one is not in my account when supposedly everyone got it.
staying less and less and less with IHG. (as the rewards program continues to deteriorate, gutted point breaks program, exponential devaluation of points for stays, jumping cash rates, increasingly insulting “accelerate” promos…. In the past, a 3k boost like this would have been icing on the cake. Now, it’s .. just, as Drew would put it, “Meh.”)
Sure, we still use the one annual free night that comes with our legacy (and otherwise unused) IHG c.card(s)…. But my level of angst/disgust with IHG continues to rise. (in rough tandem with the enthusiasm of bloggers trying to push IHG’s latest pathetic promotions) Some bloggers even verge on being apologists for IHG. (e.g. J.O. — e.g., “they just had to kill the 5k point breaks” — e.g., “unsustainable’ and all that. Wonder how much he gets paid consulting for IHG.) Towards the summer ahead, I’m really (not) looking forward to the next variation of the really juvenile, near worthless coke-branded promo….. (as “flat” as they come)
Works for cash and points stays also?
check the room rates in other websites. The app was giving me 10% higher rate that the ihg website itself.
best rate guarantee still applies to app right?
does the reward nights count?
BTW, my email indicated only the 3k, but in app it said 5k, I registered for both.
Sweet! My accelerate already requires this, looks like 45k for a night stay!!
Didn’t get an email, but saw the offer yesterday when I opened the app. Registered successfully.
Thanks, downloaded the IHG app and saw it on the homepage. I registered successfully also.
Same here. I checked offers in IHG app. Registered successfully.
