Promotion Terms & Conditions

The T&C are not too clear and this looks like another one of those offers from IHG that requires paperwork and multiple steps to fulfill the prize. IHG summer promotions typically have a PITA process. This promotion has the member waiting after the hotel stays to receive the certificate (by email?) (14 to 21 days) to fill out and return the certificate by postal mail to Mpell (within 45 days of hotel stay) and wait for the gift card to arrive by postal mail in the USA.

From T&C:

4. Award will be fulfilled in the form of an airline, gas, or train gift card.

5. No retroactive Awards will be given for stays prior to registration.

6. Valid email address or mailing address is required for fulfillment. Certificate to claim award will be sent 14-21 days after checkout. [I assume this certificate is where you choose the type of gift card.]

7. Awards are issued by Mpell. A completed certificate must be sent to Mpell, postmarked within 45 days of your check-out date to claim your choice of gift card. Failure to do so voids this offer without further notice.

8. U.S. Residents will receive Award by Postal Mail. Residents of Canada and Mexico will receive their Award electronically.

In July 2012 I stayed at the Running Y Lodge in Klamath Falls, Oregon on PointBreaks award nights. I loved the hotel location for its rural setting and proximity to Crater Lake National Park for a day trip.
