What can I do with IHG Rewards Club points?

The cost of an IHG rewards night ranges from 10,000 to 70,000 points, depending on category

Category Points Per Night
Category 1 10,000
Category 2 15,000
Category 3 20,000
Category 4 25,000
Category 5 30,000

As you might expect, IHG’s most aspirational properties like the InterContinental Parisย  are at the highest end of the spectrum at 70,000 points per night. Given that room rates here can start at upwards of US$950 a night before tax, buying points and redeeming a room represents a big saving on revenue rates.

Don’t forget that IHG runs PointBreaks promotions where the cheapest properties start at 5,000 points. That’s just US$25 a night, assuming you can find something that suits your itinerary.
