Intercontinental Hotels Group (includes Holiday Inn, Crowne Plaza, etc) will be offering $50 rebates when staying 2 consecutive weekend nights and paying by Mastercard between May 31 and September 1.
Registration will be required, but the website to register is not yet working.
You can earn no more than one rebate per weekend, and no more than four total per household during the promotion period. And like last time, they make the process just cumbersome enough that I suspect the intentionally are hoping people don’t fulfill all of the steps necessary to get the rebate in order to lower their fulfillment costs.
You actually have to mail documents in order to claim the rebate. You send them a copy of your registration confirmation and also your hotel folio with reservation number. As with all such things, keep copies of everything, whether this is a feature or a bug you may need to follow up vigorously to get your $50.
Still, it’ll be worth registering now and then sending in the paperwork if you have qualifying stays during the promotion period.

Do you think it can be combined with the Ambassador weekend rate? I got one I want to use.
And the Priority Club card is a Visa. Brilliant.
Do prepaid rates booked on their website qualify? How about AAA rate?
Is this valid for booking only thru IHG site or can a paid stay via Priceline/Expedia/Travelocity etc.. work as well?
Additionally will this work for their more upscale Montelucia, Venetian/Palazzo properties?
Interesting, because their co-branded Chase card is a VISA.
@Geoff
Yes, only booking through IHG sites are valid. Can’t see why the IC Montelucia is excluded.
@Pamela T
Lol.
@ MaryE – might be depending on how the Ambassador weekend rate posts to your account. The last 2 years I’ve used it I received 2 qualifying nights each time. The terms and conditions states “rates not defined as a Qualifying Room Rate” don’t count, so I think it’s worth a good shot.
