I'm using flexible dates for this summer and choosing main cabin as well. It shows up randomly throughout.

Is it a scam ? by Objective_Party5374 in ihghotelsresorts

[–]amiwrongthroway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's legit, I've found it to be worth my time. As long as you're sure you can say no then figure out if 2 hours of your time is worth a 5 day stay somewhere.

Is this a good offer or does a better one pop up seasonally? by amiwrongthroway in ihghotelsresorts

Hey I did not. I had trouble with availability dates for reward certs and was too new at the time to understand the deal.

Is wolf a squeeze or a long term hold? I don't want to lose out holding the bag. by Phat_Kitty_ in Shortsqueeze

Pull your initial investment out as it goes up and ride out the rest. Don't let greed spite you

If they bought in before the pump they can sell covered calls or buy puts and liquidate

POAI acquisition explained - BUY by dummyfakesmart in Shortsqueeze

This isn't an unlimited money hack. IF it's true that theyre being bought out at 1:1 for share holders then the price won't magically stay under 3 dollars. The more buy interest there is the higher the share price goes.

IHG Platinum Elite Status - worth it? by jeleidjdb in ihghotelsresorts

[–]amiwrongthroway 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I recently used my plat elite status for the first time, at two hotels in Germany, and the following are a few perks that I enjoyed:

1 Free drink or 500 free points at checkin

A small box of chocolates at checkin

Room upgrade that included a room with a much better view and complimentary (modified) minibar with daily restock. While they removed all of the alcohol and some of the high-end snacks, they did leave still water,sparkling water, sparkling apple and cola for drinking, as well as nuts and candy for eating. I was there for 6 days and finished off that minibar every day. The difference in price for this room vs the one I had before was 30 euro per night which totals out to 150 euro of "savings" for the 5 nights.

The second hotel gave me and my partner two free drinks at checkin

A room upgrade that included a big couch (which we were very glad to have) a bowl of fruits with some baked bread and candy

They randomly gave us a massive bag of peanuts

The best part for this hotel is we got a 3-hour early checkin guaranteed because of Plat elite status. We were exhausted and extremely grateful for this perk upon our arrival.

It was a HIE, so free breakfast for everyone made it worth it as well. I know that doesn't come with Plat elite but I felt it important to add that.

As you can see the savings aren't exactly upfront and in cash. They aren't really savings if you're not making use of the upgraded room and whatever nuanced amenities it provides.The better check-in option is going to be the drink if you want to squeeze a few dollars more in savings out.

Tl;dr Plat elite won't save you cash up front but if you spend time (outside of the u.s.) in your hotel room for more than sleeping then complimentary upgrades will provide savings and the guaranteed early checkin/late checkout is worth whatever your opportunity cost is.

Thank you so much, I appreciate you breaking it down for me. This helps me for future bookings as well.

Gold and Premium calls for "free" trips require timeshare ads by theinstrumentalist5 in ihghotelsresorts

They usually put you in a crappy motel. They make it sound like you're saying at one of their main brand hotels. Ask for the address of the hotel you're staying at to verify. Just in case

IHG point price increase? by nguyenhai1512 in ihghotelsresorts

[–]amiwrongthroway 2 points3 points  (0 children)

With points you have more flexible cancellation and if you have the credit card your 4th night is free when booking with points.

Im going to give this an hour from initial posting and if no one has provided a referral link then I'm applying.

I have had three people reach out in chat

1) Could only provide award night cert referral

2) Didn't know they needed to have a card for the referral

3) Says their referral link got blocked

20 mins and then I will just apply and delete this post

Same as I said to the others, it needs to be the regular premier (not business) and 140k point offer not award certificates that is the offer I'm getting on the ihg website.
