Details have surfaced regarding another one of IHG Rewards Club’s fast track offers to elite status. As usual, it is targetted at ill-defined “employees of Eligible Companies” – so it might be worth a try…

All you need to do is register before 31 December 2020 and complete:

• Five nights within 90 days for Platinum status
• Two nights within 90 days for Gold status

If successful, your new status would be valid until 31 December, 2021.

You can register by clicking here to be taken to the promotion’s webpage. I believe that the promotion code – should you need it – is 57471.

Why Bother?

The main contributors to InsideFlyer UK have mixed opinions about IHG Rewards Club status. Some find that it does enough… if you put in the effort to find those hotels that are generous to elite members. Others (such as yours truly) think that there are far better GUARANTEED benefits available from other hotel chains.

Five nights, however, is really quite simple and straightforward to accomplish.

It’s also worth noting that this promotion is unlikely to be targeted at YOU, so you are taking some risk by signing up for this fast track. If you are a regular reader, you will know that you can also buy Platinum status by signing up for the Ambassador programme – click here for details.

Fast Track to IHG® Rewards Club Platinum Elite Terms and Conditions

The Fast Track to IHG® Rewards Club Platinum Elite offer (“Offer”) for IHG® Hotels & Resorts allows all full-time employees of an Eligible Company, who register in advance and stay at any participating hotel during the Offer Period, the opportunity to experience Gold Elite and Platinum Elite membership benefits for IHG® Rewards Club faster. An Eligible Company is defined as a company that is specifically selected to participate in this promotion. The Offer is valid for registrations between July 7, 2020 and December 31, 2020 (“Offer Period”).

Entrants must be IHG® Rewards Club members and register to participate in the Offer. Qualifying guests staying at participating IHG® hotels within 90 days of registering for the “Offer” will earn Gold Elite status after two (2) qualifying nights and Platinum Elite status after five (5) qualifying nights during the “Stay Period”. To be eligible for the Offer, a member must be a full-time employee of an Eligible Company, register in advance, stay at any participating IHG hotel within 90 days after registration, use a valid email address, and must book his or her stay using the corresponding IHG corporate rate code through an Eligible Company corporate booking tool or book direct at ihg.com with an Average Daily Rate of more than $35 or the equivalent in local currency. Bookings made through on-line travel agencies or other reservations sites such as booking.com or expedia.com will not be eligible to participate. Status upgrades are awarded pursuant to the IHG Rewards Club membership terms and conditions found at ihgrewardsclub.com.

The “Stay Period” is the period in which reservations are consumed; each registrant’s “Stay Period” is unique, as it is the period within 90 days after registration. Reservations consumed prior to registration or outside the “Offer Period” will not be eligible for the “Offer”. By way of example, a member who registers on July 31, 2020 has 90 days after registration to complete their offer hurdle to reach Elite status. If an Eligible Company employee is not a member of IHG® Rewards Club, they can join for free. Offer status upgrade will be awarded into each member’s IHG® Rewards Club account instantly upon completion of the hurdle. Once a member receives a status upgrade during this Offer, the member may keep such status through the 2021 calendar year, after which the status must be earned for the 2022 calendar year and beyond, in accordance with the IHG® Rewards Club Membership Terms and Conditions.

IHG reserves the right to cancel, suspend and/or modify the Offer if any fraud, technical failures, human error or any other factor impairs the integrity or proper administration of the Offer. Offer and members are subject to the IHG® Rewards Club membership terms and conditions found at ihgrewardsclub.com.
