I really like the new IHG Into the Nights promotion. It seems that just about every travel blogger out there has written a post about it (I’ve written three!), which I think is appropriate because it’s really a great promo. In fact, I’m about to write another one! 😛
Airline miles update
I wrote late last week that the terms and conditions of the Into the Nights offer suggested that you might be able to get 50,000 AIRLINE MILES instead of the free nights or IHG points.
I still think that you’d have a leg to stand on if you wanted to try and fight for that, but it is pretty clear that IHG at least intends the airline mile bonus to only be 10,000 airline miles, which probably ranks it below 50,000 miles and of course the 2 free nights at any IHG hotel.
Earn at least 2 free nights, 50K bonus pts or 10K miles when you register for Into the Nights http://t.co/2IVyNRScb1 pic.twitter.com/jYP5PgOpTp

Where to redeem your free nights
As I was pondering where to redeem my free nights, if and when I get them, I came across a great series of articles by the Point Chaser, on a listing of some of the more aspirational IHG hotels, by category and location
There are also lists for the lower categories, but I figure if it’s a free night anywhere, a mere “seven” is about as low as I’m willing to go 🙂 . Leave a comment if you’ve got a great IHG redemption that isn’t on this list!
My offer is still not posting
My wife’s offer is a very good one, one that will get us 10,500 points plus 2 free nights (plus all the points we get for the actual stays). We definitely have plans to take advantage of this offer, as it should be doable with only 3 paid stays. My offer, on the other hand, is still not showing up. I’ve seen a couple of other people on Twitter that are mentioning the same thing. I reached out to IHG but still have not heard anything except
@PointsWithACrew It appears most issues have been resolved but clearly not all. Thx for hanging in there! The team is still working on it. — IHG Rewards Club (@ihgrewardsclub) September 5, 2014

Mine still shows no offers as of 10:30 pm on Sept. 8th. Tech support says keep checking. My question.. but for how long??
I am having the same issue. The errors are quite confusing. My initial offer was quite lucrative. Then, when I signed in one time, I had a far less appealing offer. Now, I am getting the screen you are receiving.
IHG stuff takes forever to post – usually several business days. This happened with the last promo, too.
They will post first into your IHG rewards account, and once the stays show there, they will post into the reward tracker. But they will post eventually.
I made three stays in the last 4 nights – right now, all I have for activity is the 2 of the 3 stays 500 points plat ‘welcome gift’
My problem is that even what my offer IS, is not posting. I can’t even start making my stays until I know what my offer is.
Glad you and others like this promo but like the past ones of a similar vein, IHG continues to punish its better customers/elites and gives easier and more generous rewards to those who’ve stayed the least with them. While the current promo may be slightly better than those in the past in offering a pass on one of the five or six requirements, the contents of more than one requirement is often unachievable for we regulars.
Yeah it certainly isn’t a promotion made to imbue loyalty to the people that have been loyal to IHG. It seems like they’re more focused on trying to attract new travelers. Whether that’s a wise strategy or not I don’t know, but I guess I’ll take advantage of it if I can!
One option that you could do is create a new IHG account?
My offers are also blank! do you have any updates on this?
Nope- have not heard anything. I got a response back from IHG on twitter a few days ago but nothing since
