    Elite Rollover Nights

    Sounds kinky…

    • miq on 09/10/2019 - 00:08

      They will "Earn Points with Our Partners"

      Swinging times.

  • snoopydoop on 08/10/2019 - 23:48

    Do you drop down one status after 3 month period? Then remain on that for a year? Or back to 0?

    Also, how do you take advantage of the complimentary nights?

  • ATangk on 08/10/2019 - 23:52

    Valid til 31-12-19. I hope I dont lose all my membership though I was already gold elite and another family is on plat elite…

    Wait I think that means I should have waited until November to activate this… oops.

    • nightelves on 08/10/2019 - 23:56
      +2

      Gold and platinum means nothing with IHG. I’d say register now. These thing don’t last long.

      • ATangk on 08/10/2019 - 23:57

        The plat will become spire by the holidays. But I think this promotion is per quarter so activating it now will end 31/12/19 and activating after New Years will just be for Q1/2020

        • nightelves on 09/10/2019 - 00:04
          +1

          Yeah there’s a limit of 5000 registration so if you want to test your luck then…

  • sev snape on 08/10/2019 - 23:57

    Do you still get the benefits for this program (e.g. upgrades) if you book through a third party site (booking.com etc) and show your member number when you get to the hotel?

    • skwashd on 09/10/2019 - 01:04
      +1

      No. You have to book through the IHG booking channels to get your perks.

      • TheBooleanOne on 09/10/2019 - 12:37

        I get upgrades fine, when booking through the company corporate travel provider though. (was spire elite previously, now plat).

        • skwashd on 09/10/2019 - 15:43

          Corporate travel is a little different. They general book the negotiated corporate rate, which depending on the contract usually includes loyalty perks for the guest.

    • Lionking48 on 10/10/2019 - 23:48

      You can always pricematch.

  • rpalmer on 09/10/2019 - 00:12

    Signed up for the free kindle books… should have checked the footer.

    Only available to members in the US and UK.

    • nightelves on 09/10/2019 - 00:20

      Can you change your address and it’s only selected books from their range.

      • rpalmer on 09/10/2019 - 09:14

        Ah I see, thanks for the heads up

  • The Hobo on 09/10/2019 - 00:55

    Phew, great timing! Is it best to email ahead and ask for a complimentary room upgrade, or is it just on the day? Same deal with late check out?

    • skwashd on 09/10/2019 - 01:06
      +1

      The email is unlikely to do anything. Upgrades are generally assigned early on the morning of check in. That's when the hotel generally knows what they'll have vacant.

      Late checkout depends on the hotel. Some will sort it if you ask at check in. They will cut your keys with the late checkout. Other will only let you do it <24hrs before checkout.

    • littlegreenman on 09/10/2019 - 09:30
      +11

      The upgrade is not a category upgrade but only a room upgrade. Ie same type of room but on a higher floor or further from the lift. You get this benefit anyhow if you have status. What you don't get is a club room executive suite when you only book an executive suite.

      So honestly, no major difference. I'm an IHG Spire already spending about 100 nights a year in Intercontinentals in Australia only. The benefits listed don't exist really, it's just a higher earn rate, late check-out and early check-in, no blackout dates for reward nights. These perks do come in handy if you're a business traveller, otherwise there isn't much in there.

      Raid the minibar - never available in Australia
      Room upgrade - see above
      Kindle eBooks - not in Australia
      Complementary wifi - of course, every paying guest gets that in Australia

        True .. but next to the 'Register Now' button is this statement
        "Many offers are only available to IHG Rewards Club members who receive a specific, targeted communication from IHG. Successful registration does not guarantee that you will receive the points or miles offered when the offer requirements are met if you are not eligible per the offer terms and conditions.
        […} IHG reserve the right to cancel any IHG Rewards Club membership and revoke any and all unredeemed IHG Rewards Club points for fraud or abuse of any portion of the program per the IHG Rewards Club membership terms and conditions."

        as always YMMV

        • nzthunderboy on 12/10/2019 - 13:29

          So got the email this morning with the same bad news. I hope my upgrade remains intact otherwise $400 spent for a night in Melbourne will go waste.

    Worked for me. Clicked on link at the top of this page and my current IHG details were pre populated. Clicked on register and received email confirmation on the spot. Went into my IHG App (currently a gold), refreshed and it was Spire Elite until end of December.

  • j0hnd0e on 09/10/2019 - 08:01

    Fyi, t&c's say only eligible for members of eligible companies. No mention of any companies.

    IHG has cancelled promotions from ineligible accounts before so I'd say don't get your Hope's up.

    Nevertheless signed up on my account. Thanks op!

    • arcticmonkey on 09/10/2019 - 13:46

              @Pj123: Yeah I think that sounds about right as to what will happen, if a company doesn't confirm you are an employee then it will revert back to what your previous membership tier was.

              Note, mine has come up in the Offer's section but nothing else updated. I expect this to dissapear in the coming days as I'm not with a corporate who has a relationship with IHG.

  • pencilman on 09/10/2019 - 11:11

    Got to say it's hard to work out the benefits apart from the late check out and room upgrade.
    Does it include breakfast?
    Lots of the benefits require additional expenditure

        Hilton also require proof of stay in the last 12 months with the hotel loyalty program you want to match

        Wyndham status match
        seems straight forward

      • Serathis on 10/10/2019 - 11:24

        yeah tricky with Hilton unless you can squeeze in an IHG booking now

  • Maharasha on 09/10/2019 - 13:27

    Found some external posts said it need to be employees of select accounting and consulting firms (Deloitte, Ernst & Young, PricewaterhouseCoopers, McKinsey & Company and Accenture) were eligible for this promotion last year. Not sure this year. Good luck.
