Priority Club Joins The Q1 2012 Promotions Party

InterContinental Hotels Group and Priority Club just opened their Q1 2012 promotion for registration. From January 23 through April 30, 2012, earn double points or double miles on every qualifying stay, starting with your second stay. All hotels in the IHG brand worldwide are participating in this promotion. If your stay occurs at a Staybridge Suites or Candlewood Suites, however, you will start earning double points or double miles on your very first stay.

You must register for this offer prior to your first stay, as no retroactive bonuses will be given. See the registration page for a full list of the participating airlines.

In addition, Priority Club has a standard promotion running that we see quite regularly year-round. From January 1 through March 31, 2012, you can earn a set amount of bonus points after staying a set number of nights. There are three options to choose from:

• Stay 3 nights, earn 5,000 bonus points
• Stay 7 nights, earn 10,000 bonus points
• Stay 15 nights, earn 15,000 bonus points

You can only register for one of these offers, and after you register, you cannot change your selection. Choose wisely, and pick the number of nights you are 100% sure you will achieve, otherwise you will receive no bonus points at all!

Neither of these Priority Club promotions are rather lucrative, so I wouldn't load up on IHG stays just to earn bonus points/miles. Out of all the Q1 2012 hotel promotions I've covered in the past few days, I would say that Marriott's MegaBonus is the most worthwhile offer to take advantage of, followed by the Marriott's MegaMiles. Take advantage of Hilton's More Points offer if you have lots of two-night weekend stays coming up, and SPG's Better By The Night if you have stays that are three nights or longer. Also don't forget to stack up the Hilton promotion with even more bonus airline miles! Finally, if you are a Priority Club devotee, then I would say go for the offer detailed in this post.
