Club News

Summer's here—and it's time to get your creative on!

The BMW CCA, together with the IHG® Rewards Club, wants to showcase all things BMW—and your travels with your pride and joy. We want to see you and your beautiful cars in all their glory in the lead-up to Oktoberfest at Monterey!

In June, you'll have three chances to win 50,000 IHG® Rewards Club points in our Joy Of Travel Instagram photo competition! Pick one of the following three categories, or enter in all three, to be entered in a chance to win. The categories are:  #PerformanceRoadTrip, #ClassicRoadTrip, and #ChicAndShiny.

Just so you know, we’ve got people looking on who want to see your best shot—Will Turner is going to keep an eye on #PerformanceRoadTrip, Bill Auberlen will be wanting to see your #ClassicRoadTrip, and Ashley Freiberg wants to see how you turn out for a celebration or a great day or night out in #ChicAndShiny!

To enter, post your picture on Instagram, tag @ihgrewardsclub, and use the hashtags #TravelInspiration plus the category which you are entering: #PerformanceRoadTrip OR #ClassicRoadTrip OR #ChicAndShiny. We’d love an inspirational caption for your entry that let’s us know how you feel about your travel experience, and because it’s about people not just points, we want to see a companion to your BMW. 

If you don’t use Instagram—don't panic, use all of the hashtags above, and we can find your post on Facebook or Twitter when posted publicly.

The top five in each category will be available for voting from Tuesday, July 5, until Monday, July 11, and the winners will be announced on July 12, 2016 in Roundel Weekly and via social media.
