Booking stays at IHG properties by tomorrow could prove to be pretty lucrative…
Through the end of 2025, IHG One Rewards has a global promotion offering 3x points on stays, with some limitations. As an additional promotion for Cyber Monday, IHG is offering 5x points rather than 3x points for new bookings.
If you’ve already registered for the standard 3x points promotion, there’s no need to register for this offer. If you haven’t registered for that promotion, then you’ll want to register for the 5x points offer. Members can earn an unlimited number of bonus points with this promotion.
IHG One Rewards members ordinarily earn the following return on spending at IHG properties (for what it’s worth, I value IHG points at 0.5 cents each):
So with this promotion, you’d earn 5x as many points as usual, calculated from the base points. That means for brands ordinarily earning 10x points per dollar spent, you’d earn 50x points per dollar spent. For example, if you were a Diamond member paying with a co-branded credit card, you could earn a staggering 70x points per dollar spent.
That’s potentially an excellent return on spending at IHG properties, with the major limitation being that you need to stay before the end of the year, and book within a short timeframe.
Bottom line
IHG One Rewards has a phenomenal Cyber Monday promotion, offering 5x points on new hotel bookings for stays that are completed before the end of the year. This is an opportunity to earn a minimum of 50x points per dollar spent, but if you’re an elite member paying with a co-branded credit card, you could be earning up to 70x points per dollar spent.
Do you plan on taking advantage of this IHG promotion?
