IHG and Mastercard have released the details of a new promotion and giveaway called Priceless Experiences.
The Offer
Register and stay using a Mastercard® at any IHG® hotel from December 1, 2016 – February 15, 2017 and you could win the ultimate Chicago weekend getaway. Plus, stay twice with one stay being 2+ nights to get a Mastercard® Reward Card up to $100, dependent upon which brand you stay at.
How it Works
In order to get the Mastercard you must complete two separate stays during the promotional period. Additionally one of those stays must be for two nights or more. If you do that, you’ll receive a Mastercard gift card valued as follows:
- If at least one stay is at an InterContinental brand hotel, you will receive a $100 Mastercard® Reward Card.
- If at least one stay is at a Crowne Plaza, Hotel Indigo, or Even Hotels brand hotel, you will receive a $75 Mastercard® Reward Card.
- If at least one stay is at a Holiday Inn Express, Holiday Inn, Holiday Inn Club Vacations, Holiday Inn Resort, Hualaxe, Staybridge Suites, or Candlewood Suites brand hotel, you will receive a $50 Mastercard® Reward Card.

Conclusion
This is a pretty decent offer if you have upcoming travel plans and can get an IHG hotel for a relatively low per night rate. Remember you should be able to stack this with other points promotions to earn even more and don’t forget to enter the sweepstakes whether you actually stay in an IHG hotel or not!

I won 60,000 points as a prize and only used alternate entries. Played every day. So, between this and the earlier 90+ envelopes it was a good haul with no stays. Thanks for the heads up,
It says “Your account is not eligible for this promotion.” Not sure why…
Ah nevermind, I was going to the wrong link!
I’m confused on the Mastercard date thing. I tried to login and it says I’m early for the promotion. But you said we have to be confirmed Mastercard users and watch a video. Is this available now or on December 1st?
Thanks!
Award night counts ?
No it would have to be paid stays.
