IHG Rewards Club
Promotion name: Make Every Stay Count
What’s the offer? For the last few years, IHG Rewards Club has been running personalised promotions known as Accelerate. I wrote a detailed piece explaining Accelerate here.
IHG is still offering a set of personalised Accelerate-style challenges albeit under a different name. I’d wanted to share my target on here as I’ve done in the past, however, there seems to be an issue with the IHG site which is preventing me from registering.
For an idea of what these targets look like, here’s what my Q1 2019 offer looked like:

Verdict
Assuming you were able to register for the IHG promotion and you have a half-decent offer that will probably get most of your attention over the summer.
The Hilton promo is good for more expensive stays, allowing you to maximise the double points element. Reward stays count too – making the additional 10,15 and 20-night bonus levels more achievable. Radisson’s offer could work out quite nicely, especially on longer work trips.
The Marriott offer is a bit meh but better than nothing I suppose. The AccorHotels promotion is pretty average too. A rebate of €20 on a three-night stay is not exactly going to get the pulses racing and if you have a choice of hotel chain, you can probably do better elsewhere.
As usual, I recommend registering for all of the various promotions. That way, you’ll never risk missing out on bonus points because you forget to register before an unexpected hotel stay.
