Can I receive hotel points for Viking pre-cruise extension?

[Mountain Traveler]

I am booked on a November Viking Oceans cruise from Barcelona and have signed up for the Madrid Extension.  I understand they use the InterContinental Madrid, an IHG hotel.  Has anyone earned IHG points for their stay as part of a Viking extension?

 

Thanks!

Best idea is to check the IHG program rules.  Some programs specifically exclude third party bookings, group rates and/or non-channel bookings.  Some require "qualifying rates".  So any past "success" others have had may be due to the specifics of that particular stay.

 

I would tend to wager that you would not be receiving points, or any elite status perks - if only because we are talking IHG.  But I could very well me pleasantly wrong.  (But wouldn't bet anything on that result)

This won't answer your question directly, but on a prior cruise that included a stay at a Hilton (not an extension), my friend wanted to get loyalty points for the stay.  The response from the "front desk" was no, unless there were additional charges to the room.
