Save the offer to your eligible Card and spend $400 or more, in one or more transactions, at participating Intercontinental Hotels Group properties in Australia by 22/02/2020 to receive one $100 credit. Limited to the first 20,000 Cards. Exclusions apply.
Referrer: 40,000 Reward Points
Referee gets 200,000 MR points. Referrer gets 150,000 MR points.
Do they sell gift cards?
I found that the participating hotels jacked up their pricing to cover the $100.
Wow that's disappointing. You sure the prices haven't gone up because we're heading into peak holiday season?
I have been planning my trip all year round.
You can easily check if you find an AMEX hotel deal with a dedicated link.
A good example is this expired deal 10% off Hotel Bookings at Agoda with AmEx
Then try booking incognito from non-provided link 1st and then use the provided link 2nd.
If you do it the other way, need to change IP address to show original price (e.g. hotspot)
Maybe this cashback style is different aka covered by AMEX not hotel.
Well point is, just make sure you take your time and do proper research to get the best deal.
This would be cashback from Amex - You can book anywhere you can get the best price
Offer valid for payments made by 22/02/2020 online at ihg.com, in-app via the IHG app, via phone to IHG Reservation Offices, or directly in-person at the front desk of participating Intercontinental Hotels Group properties.
If you can pay at the desk on checkout, you'll definitely get the cashback from Amex directly onto your card.
Wonder if I can pay for function room hire with this deal
Pairs nicely with this free night promotion for Crowne Plaza Surfers, Auckland or Hunter Valley if anyone is looking to get away in the next couple of weeks.
And the cyber sale!
Tried a few dates and the price didn't indicate Cyber Sale. How do you search for cyber sale dates?
Just a note, it has to be in Australia, the Auckland one won't work with this deal.
Here's the list of properties it will work at:

I just booked a night 4 days ago on the amex, bugger. Any chance that purchase is eligible?
has your card been charged yet ..if not then yes you will likely get it ..if it has been charged already then no ..you most likely won't receive the credit
Yea looks like it has been charged already. Was going to cancel and re-book but i think there is a deposit involved. oh well!
Call up the hotel direct, say you accidentally paid with the wrong card. Provide them card details and ask to switch the charge.
Call up Amex and see if they can do anything. They're not obliged to but in my experience they can be quite accommodating.
Does it include eating buffet there? Party of 6 would be around $400
It should ..you may need to troll through this site for past experiences or AFF site.
The key is they need to swipe the card at a merchant facility linked to the hotel (IHG). Some restaurants have separate facilities i.e. when you swipe it comes up as the Restaurant name and not the IC Sydney for example. That is why when staying at the property you always charge everything to the room folio (for promotions like this and to increase your total spend to get more rewards points).
9 times out of 10 the restaurant is using the same facility as the front desk ..but I have been burned once before at a restaurant inside the lobby of the hotel (that was absolutely owned and operated by the hotel) where the charge came up as a separate entity and thus did not trigger the promotion.
If in doubt have a cocktail at the place you want to lay down the 400$ before to see if it comes up as IHG X or HOTEL NAME X on your credit card.
Nice one. I have a booking in Perth that I haven't paid for yet that this will be perfect for.
Do I have to spend $400 on the same hotel or I can choose from different hotels under IHG?
'in one or more transactions, at participating Intercontinental Hotels Group properties in Australia by 22/02/2020 '
Appears to suggest that it can be split across any of the multiple properties identified for this promotion.
I got the IHG offer via email from AmEx, under another offer which doesn't appear to have been posted on OzBargain:-

Limited to the first 15,000 Cards.
However when logging in the offer isn't there.
Did anyone else get the Qantas Points offer and managed to activate it?
I’ve had the same problem, got it in an email and when I login, the offer isn’t there.
Got the email. Can't find in account.
