IHG One Rewards offering up to 3X points on hotels worldwide

IHG One Rewards has announced the details of its next global promotion, which offers up to 3X points for stays completed between 1 October and 31 December 2025.

If you value an IHG point at 0.5 US cents each, this can be an incremental rebate of up to 10%. However, you’ll only earn it from your third stay onwards, as the first stay is unbonused, and the second stay earns 2X points.

Below is a summary of how many points IHG One Rewards members can expect to earn with this promotion. Only the base points are doubled, which is why the promo figure is the same for all tiers.

I value an IHG One Rewards point at 0.5 US cents each, which means you’re looking at an overall rebate of 10-20%, depending on tier.

Conclusion

IHG One Rewards has unveiled the details of its next global promotion for 2025, which offers 2X points for the second stay, and 3X points for the third stay onwards. The fact that there are two hurdle stays to clear before earning 3X points is annoying, but if you’re an IHG loyalist, I suppose you’ll still be interested.
