I'm just back from a stay at The Holiday Inn City Centre in Munich, where I booked a superior double with complimentary wifi for €47.00 p/n. Using the rate detailed below, this brought the room price down from the best available published rate, which was €94.00. I booked it using IHG's 'Friends & Family' rate, though the name's something of a misnomer - as staff are actively encouraged to share the rate with the general public & it's effectively open to everyone.

IHG's own Global Sourcing Manager (Doug Castor) shared it via his Twitter feed a couple weeks ago.

I booked my stay using his link above & you then print off & fill in the voucher page below, using Doug Castor's name as your contact to present at reception (though I wasn't asked to show this - apparently most folks aren't). Only stipulation is you must book at least a day in advance & using the rate renders the stay as non-qualifying for IHG points accrual. It may not be available at every property on every date, but I've dummy tested it on cities I get to often & it's coming up trumps every time. It'll be particularly handy in the US, given the number of well located Holiday Inns & Staybridge & Candlewood Suites etc.
