IHG One Rewards offering 3,000 bonus points for every two nights

IHG One Rewards has opened registration for its latest global promotion, which is valid for stays between 19 September and 31 December 2024.

Registered members will earn 3,000 bonus points per two eligible nights stayed during this promotion period, with no cap on the maximum points that can be earned. It’s a relatively anemic promotion though, and there’s not much reason to switch your stays from other chains just to take advantage of it.

Here’s the main points to note about IHG One Rewards’ latest global promo:

• Registration is required
• Stays must be between 19 September to 31 December 2024
• No minimum stay is necessary
• All registration must be done prior to an eligible stay
• All paid nights booked directly through IHG qualify for this promotion, with a minimum nightly rate of US$30
• Award nights do not qualify for this promotion
• There is no cap on the bonus points that can be earned
• Bonus points will post within six weeks of an eligible stay

3,000 bonus points will be awarded for every two nights stayed during this period. There is no need for the nights to be consecutive; for example, three separate stays of one night each will earn 3,000 bonus points.

I value an IHG One Rewards point at 0.5 US cents each, so this works out to an incremental rebate of US$7.50 per night. Like I said, it’s not exactly Christmas, and if you can find a lower rate through an OTA, you might want to go with that instead- assuming elite benefits don’t come into the picture. 

As a reminder, here’s how many points IHG One Rewards members normally earn, depending on their tier. These are granted on top of any bonuses from this promotion.
