Many of us IHG Rewards Club members received the IHG Set Your Sights Holiday Inn Club Vacations package task. First thing to know is this is a time share sales pitch task. I subjected my family to a timeshare pitch at Hyatt Carmel Highlands a couple years ago and truly regretted wasting a few hours of our family gathering for a $150 hotel credit.
Here are the terms I gathered from a telephone consultation about the Holiday Inn Club Vacations mini-vacation package.
Participating Resorts
- Holiday Inn Club Vacations Orlando – Orange Lake Resort
- Holiday Inn Club Vacations Las Vegas – Desert Club Resort
- Holiday Inn Club Vacations Myrtle Beach – South Beach
- Holiday Inn Club Vacations Gatlinburg – Smoky Mountain Resort
- Holiday Inn Club Vacations Cape Canaveral – Beach Resort
- Holiday Inn Club Vacations Williamsburg Resort
There is currently an offer for $199 + tax for three nights in any of these six properties. You buy a certificate and you have one year to redeem the certificate. If this is a task I wanted to complete, I would sit on the phone and get set dates before my purchase. There are peak season dates with higher rates.
Holiday Inn Club Vacations Las Vegas – Desert Club Resort had spring break peak season dates from March 6 to April 11, 2015. I assume the other hotels have similar peak season dates and maybe more.
Here are basic questions I answered to determine eligibility
Marital status: if married, partners must travel together to timeshare event.
Must be 23 years or over.
Is your annual income over $50,000?
No bankruptcy on records.
Need Passport or driver’s license and credit card.
Package certificate good for 12 months from date of purchase.
$99 additional fee to $199 if stay is in peak season dates.
Fee to change stay dates $20 total, if 4 days or more. Fee is $99 to change dates within 3 days of arrival.
2 hour timeshare presentation is part of package requirements.
Now for the Good News
There is currently an offer to a $100 Holiday Inn rebate or 20,000 points.
My Set Your Sights offer is 5,000 points for booking the Holiday Inn Club Vacations mini-vacation package. The three nights count as eligible nights for the six total nights I need for Set Your Sights. And there is either a $100 rebate or 20,000 points.
That can be a good deal if you want to visit one of the locations with these timeshare properties.
Personally, I’ll likely go for six nights if I do this IHG Set Your Sights promotion. I know my wife has no interest in going to Las Vegas for a timeshare, no matter how many points can be earned.
