There is a hotel chain that cyclically unveils a secret word that, if uttered at the right time, unlocks various privileges even for those who have no status in the loyalty program IHG Rewards.
How the Kimpton social password works
In this article:
Recently a friend "scolded" me for not properly posting the password at the beginning of the year, and he was completely right: the last few times I forgot to post it, partly because the IHG program never entered my radar and I focus more on Bonvoy and Honors.
The secret word must be spoken at check-in, although I understand that many hotels also accept forgetful people during their stay. The nice thing is that place you go, gift you get. Since it is not a codified benefit, it is up to the hotels to decide for themselves how to reward guests.
The new secret word
The new social password available for this summer is valid from May 26 and September 3, 2023.
Summer, sunshine and good weather so Kimpton plays with the beautiful season by announcing the password "No Shade".
What to expect
Much also depends on whether or not one has, or does not have, status in the loyalty program and what is included in the reservation. Often breakfast is offered, other times room upgrades, massages, points, vouchers or bottles of wine. Have you ever used this password? What did you get? Write it in the comments.
