I love resurrecting an old thread.
So I used most of my remaining points to book two rooms for Granny Froggee and her lapsed nun pal in Singapore pre Grand Prix. Not a bad redemption at all at close to 0.6p per point with the added benefit that the lapsed nun is on a budget and therefore it can be presented as a legitimate freebie.
The hotel is aware that I will not be staying but have still extended free breakfast to both of them.
I think that may well be the end of my dalliance with IHG. They have actually had a few cash bookings out of me that they would not otherwise have had so they probably haven’t done too badly out of the diamond status.
Ironically I have pretty much failed to use the final oh-so-hard-fought-for free night voucher so Mrs Froggee and I will be popping by the George for a post dinner cup of tea next week (yay £15 Ambassador credit) and then seeing if breakfast is an acceptable standard the next morning. With hindsight I should have saved £160 on a day room at the Crowne Plaza Changi but thought it would be handy for the Intercontinental Park Lane when my buddy was in town. My buddy promptly had a travel freeze placed on his department until 2025.
Sad face.
Anyway.
In loving memory of the Creation IHG One Rewards Premium credit card.
Rest in peace
🕊️ 🪦 🕊️
I need to buy some premium bonds.
Anyone out that at Creation that can help?
I missed the opportunity first time around. I had no Curve card and you closed my account at the same time as the Curve closures without explanation. Surely I deserve a second chance 😆
Well get yourself a Curve then 😜
Yes, they were good days, generated over 2 million IHG points, down to under 200k points now, it’s going to be a shock when I have to start paying for hotel stays!
Still haven’t used all my points. But Creation was still useful last month to get the Jordanian status match, as I’m still IHG Platinum because of Creation
Truly the gift that keeps on giving, @Rui 😂
Our last 2 free night certs are being used at the Kimpton Blythswood Square in a couple of weeks when cash and points prices are rather silly – looking forward to some spa time, breakfast, a couple of free cocktails and local goodies in the room if our last stay was anything to go by!
I’ve still got 550k points which are being carefully husbanded for as long as the Kimpton Seafire continues to charge 70k per night …
Don’t know about giving – it certainly keeps on going. Four years after Creation’s unilateral withdrawal of my IHG Rewards Club Premium card, and final closure of my account, they e-mail me to say my latest statement is available to view in My Account (closed long ago) with a negative balance of £5 payable on 14 April 2025. My former log-in details are not recognised. At the time, I accepted the ombudsman’s generous compensation award, and that should have ended the matter. They are a nuisance. Ignore?
I had this for ages as they refunded my £99 card fee as well as issuing me all the free night voucher (so I technically wasn’t owed it). I eventually claimed it from them just to stop the statements coming. I think if anything is owed or owing, they keep mithering you. Just make sure the £5 isn’t accruing charges or interest!
This was my favourite deal ever…..2,000,000 points left and enjoying them hugely.
“P” isn’t Paul the Destroyer is it 😱🤣
Old threads never die!
A phone call reveals:
minus £5 means Creation owe me for the cancelled IHG premium card. They will credit me in 7 days. Amazing.
