IHG One Rewards offering 15% off hotel redemptions worldwide

IHG One Rewards has launched a new discount on award nights worldwide, with Platinum and Diamond Elite members saving 15% off the regular award costs. I’m quite certain that at least a few of you will be holding on to the latter!

This is slightly less generous than the 20% off deal we saw back in January, but still a good opportunity to save on an upcoming stay.

Save 15% off IHG award nights

Here’s the key details of IHG’s award night sale:

• Stays must be booked by 5 April 2023
• Stays must be completed by 12 May 2023

No registration is required, and no minimum stay is necessary. The 15% discount will be automatically reflected at the time of booking; no registration required. If you’re not seeing availability, remember that your stay must be completed by 12 May 2023.

The discount can also be applied to Points & Cash bookings.

Stays booked under this promotion can be changed or refunded, subject to the usual cancellation windows for award stays.

How to get more IHG points

If this discount still doesn’t get you close enough to your ideal redemption, you can hope that IHG runs another of its points sales soon.

IHG typically offers a 100% bonus during sales, which reduces the cost of a point to 0.5 US cents each. The most recent sale ended on 22 March 2023, but it’s almost certain we’ll see another one soon. 

Alternatively, you can transfer credit card points from Citibank and Standard Chartered.

• 25,000 Citi ThankYou points = 10,000 IHG points
• 10,000 Citi Miles= 10,000 IHG Points
• 2,500 SCB points= 1,000 IHG points

The conversion ratio isn’t great though, especially when you consider the opportunity cost. Those bank points would be much more valuable as airline miles instead.

Conclusion

IHG One Rewards is offering 15% off award nights worldwide to Platinum and Diamond members, which is a good opportunity to save some points on an upcoming booking. No registration is required, and there is no cap on the maximum points you can save. 

The main constraint is the short window- unless you’re staying by 12 May 2023, you won’t be able to take advantage of this offer.
