Which started yesterday, January 17 : Stays are qualifying and give points. I booked two different stays and the number of points was clearly mentioned in both my bookings.
Is this the one that's only good through end of February? I see the HIX at Dublin Airport has 49 euro rates on one set of two nights I have, but not on the other (and I have 7 nights this week split between Lisbon and Madrid from the last 49 euro sale). Great rate if it works out for you. That's less than $57 with today's exchange rate (my current ones priced at $62 with a higher forex). I checked Athens in mid-February, which I'm doing as a sidetrip from Dublin, and no discounts there.
Europe only, yes? http://www.ihg.com/hotels/gb/en/glo...a-_-facebook-_-IHGRC-_-EU_TC_1151_lto3_phase1 (and the UK, apparently, which must have left Europe recently without me noticing )
