How long is this IHG Platinum Elite valid?

Does complimentary breakfast apply at Holiday Inn and Holiday Inn Express?

No. Complimentary breakfast for Platinum Elite applies at participating full-service IHG brands: Crowne Plaza, Hotel Indigo, voco, Kimpton, and InterContinental. Budget and select-service brands (Holiday Inn, Holiday Inn Express, Candlewood, Staybridge) do not include Platinum Elite breakfast.

How does the Confirmed Suite Upgrade certificate work?

Platinum Elite members receive one Confirmed Suite Upgrade certificate per anniversary year. It can be applied to a reservation at eligible InterContinental, Kimpton, Crowne Plaza, and voco properties, upgrading a standard room booking to a suite at the time of reservation, subject to suite availability.

The 1-year product (this listing) is valid through 31 December 2026. The 2-year product extends through 31 December 2027. Benefits are identical — the choice is determined by how far ahead your IHG travel is planned and whether the $150 price difference justifies the extended coverage.
