    OP's code works for me. Didn't realise existing member can register this. Good finding!! Thanks OP!

      Sorry to hijack the comments here. Something similar was posted here ages ago. Followed all the steps etc and got the deal. Management sent a message a few days later saying the promotion and the upgrade was revoked as it was only targeted for a small group. I personally am not going to waste my time, but good luck to the ones that did it. Hope the management are bigger people than they used to be and let you keep the upgraded status.

      EDIT: Realised it wasn't much of a waste of time as it took a few seconds. So expecting an email from IHG now. 🤞

        I think this means you can have a room even if there is no availability (aka boot someone else out) not you are guaranteed a room you have already paid for…

      Not worth it.

      • RD ADL on 13/10/2022 - 15:58

        In many respects you are right.
        I've stayed in IHG for around 8 years and around 100 nights per year pre-pandemic.
        This year I've clocked 50 nights and am only just closing in on Diamond Elite. So unless you can maintain that kind of number of stays it'll be short-lived but they've filled rooms in the short-term I guess……
        :-)

    • TimeOrMoney on 13/10/2022 - 14:24

      If you can't do 10 nights in 79 days (I think most people would), try signing up for this fast-track challenge.

      Assuming they stack, combining these two gives you more achievable tiers below 10 nights. And whatever nights you stay this year is with Diamond perks!

      • Stay 2 nights to earn Gold Elite status until December 2023 (fast track)
      • Stay 5 nights to earn Platinum Elite status until December 2023 (fast track)
      • Stay 10 nights to keep Diamond Elite status until December 2023 (this deal)
      • JHoliday on 13/10/2022 - 14:30

          Ah, yes it's confusing: Don't click the "Register Now" button, but click the "Reach Elite Status Faster" banner instead.

          Or try code 24051.

          • Klamelb on 13/10/2022 - 21:09

            • TimeOrMoney on 13/10/2022 - 21:12

              @Klamelb: I think people experienced similar issues with the code in the OP for this deal. Some advice further down was to use incognito mode?

              • Klamelb on 13/10/2022 - 21:33

                @TimeOrMoney: oops! i thought incognito was for the original deal. thank you you legend!

      • ItsBatman on 13/10/2022 - 14:51

        do this night stays per property or if you just stay 5 or 10 days in one hotel and you get Platinum Elite or Diamond Elite?

    Besides bonus points, room upgrade and free breakfast are there any other major perks I am missing? It's free so that is a great win however I am wondering if it's worth staying the additional 10 nights to unlock 2023!

      Guaranteed Room Availability: Platinum Elite and Diamond Elite members are guaranteed one guest room when reservations are made at least 72 hours prior to the date of arrival.

      Really dont know how that is possible when hotels get booked out for big events but

      • wavesgreen on 13/10/2022 - 13:37
        +5

        The flagship locations have entire floors dedicated to Elite members and I would assume those are generally held in reserve or at least sold minimally.

      • Homr on 13/10/2022 - 13:51

        They can always "bump" the lowest paying guest out and move them to another similar class hotel

        It's common practice among the hotel industry

    • hayne on 13/10/2022 - 17:55

      This. IHG in the past have been very aggressive about terminating accounts for people who have incorrectly used a code. If you don't have an account yet, then by all means - you've not really got anything to lose. If you've got one already and especially if you've got points, it's probably safer to steer clear.

      IHG could just do what the other loyalty programs do - i.e. notify you that you are not eligible and not allow it to go through rather than terminate you after the fact. But they don't.

      In any case, YMMV

    One of the benefits is "Exclusive Hertz Gold Plus Rewards® Five Star® Upgrade upon receiving status". Anyone know what this is all about and how we can get this?

    • wavesgreen on 13/10/2022 - 13:33
      +7

      I had Gold Status before the pandemic and honestly the Hertz benefits were a common plus to my trips. Free upgrade to next size up. It's supposed to stop at Full Size but I've been given a Luxury model several times when I've booked a Full Size.

      Also just in general I've found I've been treated better. It's all addressed by title straight out the blocks and falling over themselves to get me in and out as quick as possible, directed to a lounge one time when there was a delay, offered drinks, etc.

      • Westpac on 13/10/2022 - 13:41

        Wow that sounds great. How do we get it though being a diamond member?

        • wavesgreen on 13/10/2022 - 13:45

          It was just automatic for me, I don't recall having to do anything. Maybe some thing to link your IHG and Hertz account? Don't know, it was a long time ago I signed up.

      Depending on the location they also have express pickuo where the car is ready and waiting you just jump in and show your license on the way out. Saves lining up and dealing with bullshit.

    • bitesized on 13/10/2022 - 13:34
      +6

      If your trip is upcoming, it will work. IHG upgrades usually are at check-in from past experience. So they'll bump you up & give you perks based on your status when you arrive at the hotel.

      • moleski on 13/10/2022 - 13:35

    • RD ADL on 13/10/2022 - 16:00

      Email the hotel and let them know your IHG Rewards Number ahead of staying. That way you'll more likely score a good upgrade as they plan rooms ahead of time. :-)

      • ax1 on 13/10/2022 - 17:47

        Sorry, I never used this before. Do I just book a hotel room (eg a cheaper room), then they will upgrade for me at no extra cost?

        • RD ADL on 13/10/2022 - 17:50
          +1

          Yep that’s pretty much it.
          Likely only one room upgrade. So depending on the hotel might be something simple like at Intercontinental in Adelaide.
          A one room upgrade is from a King City View to a King River View.
          Same size room but an upgrade (of sorts!)

      But I hear they'll make an exception for people who make 10 nights in 79 days. Then you're probably real loyal and they'll keep you on Diamond for another year.

    Remember all the perks only exist if you book directly through them - not through booking sites etc which can be cheaper:

    Qualifying Rates: Qualifying Rates include Reward Night/Free Night* and most business and leisure rates, such as Advance Saver rates, Best Flexible rates, Global sales negotiated rates (including but not limited to Corporate Gold rates), national/regional/local government rates, and specified leisure rates as confirmed by IHG’s reservation systems. In Asia, the Middle East, Africa, and Greater China (Mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan), Qualifying Rates include all locally negotiated rates. Note: In Greater China, Qualifying Rates also include all corporate negotiated rates settled with hotels via regular payment. In all other parts of the world, locally negotiated rates are classed as Qualifying Rates if the rate is discounted less than 30%.

    When staying on a Reward Night/Free Night, Members will not earn Points or partner miles/credits on the room rate or room rate equivalent; however, Points are awarded for all other eligible charges.
    Non-Qualifying Rates: Members will not earn Points and/or enjoy Member benefits during a Stay on most Non-Qualifying Rates. This restriction includes but is not limited to: earning Points on food and beverage purchases, parking, in room dining, movies, and any other incidental charges incurred during the Member’s Stay on a Non-Qualifying Rate. Non-Qualifying Rates include:
    Hotel provided complimentary rooms
    Employee Discount Rate
    Airline or travel partner passenger rate due to travel delays
    Online Travel Agency or Third-Party Channel bookings (e.g., Expedia, Travelocity, Priceline, etc.)
    Rates provided by tour operator/wholesaler
    Seasonal Worker/Crew Rate
    50% Travel Club Discount Rate: includes entertainment discount booklet rates (e.g., Encore)
    *When staying on an Employee Discount Rate, Members will not earn Points or partner miles/credits on the room rate or room rate equivalent; however, Points are awarded for all other eligible charges.

    • wavesgreen on 13/10/2022 - 13:49

      Yes and no. While strictly what you quote is letter of the T&C, I have had multiple bookings upgraded and/or given bonus earn rates eventhough I had booked through third parties.
