根据 loyaltylobby 消息，IHG 近期更改了他们的官方条款（terms），有一些我们较为关注的福利和规则有了一定的变化。具体如下
比较重要的改动：
Outside of Greater China any guest listed as a second guest on a Reward Night reservation may stay on the Reward Night reservation without the member staying. Second guest must be over 18 years of age, provides valid identification and credit card.
意思就是房券或者积分房是可以单独 gift 给 sencond guest 入住的，入住者必须满 18 岁并提供信用卡和 ID。特别注意，大中华区不适用此条款，也就是无法单独 gift 给别人入住，必须账户本人到场才行。
In Greater China (Mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan) if a Member books a Reward Night on behalf of another person/beneficiary, the Member must contact IHG Customer Care no less than 7 days before the stay date. The Member must provide specific personal details for the guest who will be using the Reward Night, as requested by IHG. Any changes to such guest’s details must be completed through IHG Customer Care. If the Member fails to provide and/or change the requested information on time or the information provided is not correct for any reason, the guest using the Reward Night will not be able to Check-In and the relevant booking will be cancelled. This requirement applies to all Reward Nights earned through Stays, Points, promotions, or in any other way.
如果你在大中华区，需要提前 7 天联系客服，把 guest 的信息提供给 IHG。更改信息或者房型也必须联系客服才行。这样才能完成 gift night.
In the event of an erroneously published Reward Night point price, IHG One Rewards reserves the right to cancel the booking and refund the points. Members will be notified in the event that this occurs.
意思就是如果积分房出现了 bug 价，ihg 是可以不认的，他们有权利直接取消掉。
其他改动有
- Priority Check-In 从高级会员福利中移除：个人觉得这个福利用处不大，本身从 silver 开始就有，简直太泛滥了。其实改成 diamond 以及大使会籍有这个福利比较好。不过既然移除了也就算了
- Select Breakfast menu items may be excluded (such as specialty/local-themed items)：意思就是你如果是通过高级会员获取的免费早餐，那部分 IHG 酒店提供的当地特色早餐将不被包含在内。影响不是太大，有特色餐饮的酒店比较少。
- Confirmable Suite Upgrades cannot be used on Ambassador Complimentary Weekend Night certificate stays：堵了个小漏洞，大使的房券将无法用升房券确保升级。
