Flash deal: IHG One Rewards offering 5X points for December stays

IHG One Rewards has launched a new flash deal, which offers members 5X points for stays between now and 31 December 2025. The catch? You’ll need to make your bookings today or tomorrow (1 & 2 December 2025), and it doesn’t apply to any stays booked before this promotion was launched. 

This is stackable with the ongoing Cyber Sale discount of up to 25%, which is available for stays up till 31 March 2026.

Note: For whatever reason, the above banner sometimes does not load along with the Cyber Sale landing page. You might have to refresh a few times before it appears.

IHG One Rewards members can now earn 5X points on stays completed in December. Registration is required, but if you previously registered for the 3X promotion that was announced in September, there is no need to register again. 

To be clear: the 3X and 5X do not stack to become 8X; instead, the 3X is upsized to 5X for bookings made during this promotion period. 

Here are the key details of this offer:

• Stays must be booked between 1-2 December 2025
• Stays must be completed by 31 December 2025
• No minimum stay is necessary
• All registrations 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 6-8 weeks of an eligible stay

Below is a summary of how many points IHG One Rewards members can expect to earn with this promotion. 

I value an IHG One Rewards point at 0.5 US cents each, which means you’re looking at an overall rebate of 25-30%, depending on tier. If you plan to travel in December but haven’t made your bookings yet, this would be an excellent opportunity. And even if you’ve already made your bookings, you should check whether you can get the same rates if you were to cancel and rebook now.

The T&Cs of this offer can be found here.

500 bonus points for app downloads

From now till 31 December 2025, IHG One Rewards members can earn an easy 500 bonus points for downloading the IHG One Rewards app and signing in for the first time.

Unfortunately, you won’t be eligible for this offer if you’ve already downloaded and signed into the app prior to the start of the promotion period (which isn’t stated explicitly, but I assume is 1 December 2025)

What cards should you use to make IHG bookings?

Here are the cards I’d recommend using for IHG hotel bookings.

Do note that certain cards will only offer their bonus rates if the booking is in foreign currency, and others only if the booking codes as MCC 7011. If in doubt, be sure to check the MCC before proceeding.

Conclusion

IHG is now offering members the opportunity to earn a mega 5X points on their stays in December 2025, provided they make their bookings today or tomorrow.

This is further stackable with the ongoing 25% off Cyber Sale, so hopefully you’ll be able to take advantage of both deals. Do note that bookings made under the Cyber Sale are strictly non-refundable, so be sure to confirm your plans before pulling the trigger.
