估計是為了配合 One Rewards 會員計劃煥新,最近 IHG 罕見的推出了一次會籍挑戰活動。這一波搶客行動的力度不可謂不大,不知道其他酒店集團還能沉得住氣嗎。
活動期間內,成功註冊活動後即可馬上升級白金卡,有效期 120 天。在這 120 天內住滿 5 晚,白金會籍將獲得保留,住滿 15 晚可升級鑽石卡。挑戰成功後,會籍有效期都會延長至 2023 年年底。
註冊地址:
https://www.ihg.com/content/us/en/deals/member-offers/statuschallenge
註冊時間:截止至 2022-7-31
優悅會計劃煥新後,升級白金卡需 40 晚,鑽石卡需 70 晚,而這次挑戰活動僅需 5 晚和 15 晚,用大放水來形容並不為過。
但是!但是來了,非常可惜的是,此次挑戰活動居然把大中華區剔除了。大中華區會員並不能參與,並且入住大中華區的酒店也不計入挑戰。在我的印象中,IHG 是極其重視大中華區市場的,為什麼會出現這種操作?
當然了,國內的小夥伴如果只想要一個 120 天的白金卡,怎麼干應該心裏有數。
註冊活動很簡單,新老會員都可以註冊,但是您需要選擇您在其他酒店集團的會員等級。
如果您還不是 IHG 會員,只需要在註冊頁面的下拉菜單中點選「JOIN & REGISTER」,註冊新會員的同時也註冊了此活動。如果是老會員就點選「REGISTER NOW」登入並註冊。▼
IHG 這個操作有點 Status Match 的意思,但是並不需要您提交任何證明,而且白板也可以申請,更多的像是做個問卷調查。雖然如此,IHG 還是保留秋後算賬的權利,問題是這賬真能算?白板都行,為什麼還要算?▼
IHG reserves the right to validate the hotel loyalty program information shared by members up to 60-days past the promotional end date.
提醒大家一點,如果您已經是鑽石卡會員就不要註冊,別幻想着會有 bug 延期,否則會立即降級為白金卡。雖然事後可以申訴回來,但也是自找麻煩。
最後是老規矩,只有通過官方渠道預訂的付費住宿才算有效(超過 $30 美元/晚),積分房不計入挑戰住宿。

Questions -
What is Status Challenge?
- Status Challenge is a promotion that will allow members of other hotel loyalty programs the ability to increase their status within the IHG One Rewards program by staying a reduced number of qualifying nights at IHG® Hotels & Resorts. Travelers have a number of hotel programs to choose from and many may not be familiar with the breadth of the IHG® hotel portfolio or what IHG's loyalty program has to offer. After registering for the promotion, members will experience what it is like to be part of IHG's award-winning hotel loyalty program.
What is the Offer?
- Members will incorporate their status with another hotel loyalty program within drop downs on the Status Challenge promotion landing page. From there, they will register for the promotion. Upon registration, they will automatically receive IHG One Rewards Platinum Elite status for the 120-day period immediately following their registration. The member will then have an opportunity to keep their Platinum Elite status, or earn Diamond Elite status, through the end of December 2023 with a reduced number of qualifying night stays during their 120-day post-registration period. To keep Platinum Elite status through the end of December 2023, a member will need to stay five (5) qualifying nights within their post-registration 120-day period. To achieve Diamond Elite status through end of December 2023, a member will need to stay an additional ten (10) qualifying nights (15 in total) within the 120-day period.
How does a member register for this promotion?
- Members must visit the campaign landing page for the promotion - found here - to complete a short questionnaire and register for the promotion during the registration period, which is from May 31, 2022 through July 31, 2022.
- Those who are not already an IHG One Rewards member can sign up to become a member through the campaign landing page for the promotion, or on ihg.com, and then visit the promotion campaign landing page to complete the registration form.
What are the registration dates?
- The Status Challenge registration will be open for a limited time, from May 31, 2022 – July 31, 2022.
- Promotions are subject to being canceled, suspended and/or modified at anytime, to the extent permitted under applicable law.
How many days will a member have Platinum Elite status initially awarded as part of the promotion?
- Members who are registered will enjoy Platinum Elite status for 120-days from the date of their registration for the promotion.
- If the member has the required number of qualifying night stays within their post-registration 120-day window (as described in the 「What is the Offer」 FAQ above), the member will then keep their Platinum Elite status through the end of December 2023. As also mentioned in the 「What is the Offer」 FAQ above, a member registered for the promotion also has an opportunity to achieve Diamond Elite status with a reduced number of qualifying night stays.
Who is eligible to participate in Status Challenge?
- Any member of the IHG One Rewards program (other than those members who reside in Greater China) are eligible to participate in the Status Challenge promotion.
What is a Qualifying Stay for purposes of this Promotion?
- A Qualifying Stay is a minimum of one (1) night stay booked under a Qualifying Rate, with total spend exceeding US $30 (or local currency equivalent) for each night. The stay can be at any IHG hotel or resort or Mr & Mrs Smith property, with the exception of stays at IHG hotels and resorts or Mr & Mrs Smith properties located in the Greater China region, which are excluded for purposes of this promotion.
- If more than one member checks into the same room, only one member is eligible to count the room nights towards the promotion (for those nights that qualify). If a member books more than one room on the same night, they will only receive credit for qualifying nights for one room. Additional details on Qualifying Stays are provided in the IHG Rewards Members Terms and Conditions.
What is considered a Qualifying Rate?
- Qualifying Rates include most business and leisure rates, such as Advanced Purchase rates, Best Flexible rates, Global sales negotiated rates (including but not limited to Corporate Gold rates), national/regional/local government rates, and specified leisure rates as confirmed by IHG's reservation systems. In Asia, the Middle East, Africa, and Greater China hotels and resorts, Qualifying Rates include all locally negotiated rates. For more details on Qualifying Rates, please visit the IHG Rewards Members Terms and Conditions.
Where can I find the terms and conditions for the IHG One Rewards Program?
- IHG's loyalty program is transitioning from the IHG® Rewards program to the new IHG One Rewards program. Consequently, the Status Challenge Promotion and membership in the IHG loyalty program are subject to the terms and conditions of the IHG® Rewards program and/or the IHG One Rewards program, as may be applicable based on the particular circumstances. The terms and conditions for these programs, including information concerning the effective dates of certain provisions and the terms and conditions as a whole, may be found at IHG Rewards Membership Terms and Conditions or by visiting www.ihg.com/onerewards. All such terms and conditions are subject to change at any time without advance notice.

你好,提示需要註冊代碼,代碼是?
@觀天闊: 試一下這個:36851。
@HotelDig: 不可用,是不是,因為註冊地址是大陸,所以被系統排除掉了呢,猜的。
@觀天闊: 估計應該是了,我試過也是不行。之前的代碼,外網上註冊是 ok 的。
您好,請問 C+P 兌換酒店, 現金部分達到 30 美元的話是否符合要求呢?
@滿臉問號: c+p 與積分房同等對待,所以 c+p 入住,無論消費多少錢都不算有效住宿。
你好,請問,我註冊時是用美國地址,也成功升級白金會籍,入住大中華區的酒店,是否符合 120 天內入住 15 晚,可升鑽卡,官網的說明有點看不太懂!謝謝!
@須佐之男: 不行,大中華區的酒店不參與活動。
但是來了,非常可惜的是,此次挑戰活動居然把大中華區剔除了。大中華區會員並不能參與,並且入住大中華區的酒店也不計入挑戰。
-
大中華區會員不能參與,是因為大中華區的酒店不參與這次活動吧?
如果是旅居大中華區之外的地方的華人,入住大中華區之外的酒店,還是能參與這個活動的吧?
@dalong: 活動 FAQ 中有此說明:
Who is eligible to participate in Status Challenge?
Any member of the IHG One Rewards program (other than those members who reside in Greater China) are eligible to participate in the Status Challenge promotion.
意思是:居住在大中華區的會員除外。通常 IHG 是以會員資料中的地址來識別居住地的,所以您這種情況,只要地址是國外的就應該沒問題。
