IHG One Rewards offering double elite night credits

IHG One Rewards has launched a new targeted promotion that offers double elite nights for stays completed by 31 March 2026. 

While there is a cap of 10 bonus elite nights, this can be further stacked with the ongoing global double points promotion, making it potentially lucrative for those targeted. Together with the base elite nights, this promotion could potentially get you all the way up to Gold, while also unlocking Milestone Rewards.

Earn double elite nights with IHG One Rewards

From 22 January to 31 March 2026, targeted IHG One Rewards members will earn one bonus elite night credit for every qualifying night they stay, up to a maximum of 10 bonus elite night credits. 

You can check whether you’re targeted by entering your membership number on this page. 

Here are the key points to note:

• Your stay must be completed (i.e. check-out) by 31 March 2026 to qualify
• Promotion is not valid for award nights or Points + Cash rates
• All paid nights booked directly through IHG qualify for this promotion, with a minimum nightly rate of US$30
• Bonus elite night credits will post within six weeks of an eligible stay

As a reminder, IHG One Rewards has four tiers of elite status, starting with Silver and progressing up to Diamond. The total elite nights you could earn from this promotion alone would be sufficient to qualify/requalify for Gold Elite, and put you halfway to Platinum. 

The detailed list of benefits by tier can be found below.

Bonus nights count towards Milestone Rewards

For the avoidance of doubt, the bonus nights awarded under this promotion will count towards Milestone Rewards. 

Assuming you max out the full 20 nights (10 + 10) available under this promotion, you would qualify for 5,000 bonus points, 2x F&B rewards worth up to US$20 each, or a confirmable suite upgrade award (valid for a stay of up to five nights).

Stack with 2x points promotion

Register Here

IHG’s ongoing global promo offers registered members an uncapped 2X points on their stays, starting from the second stay onwards.

• Registration is required
• Stays must be between 1 January to 31 March 2026
• 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 six weeks of an eligible stay

This promotion can be stacked with the double elite nights offer, so if you were targeted, that’s a potentially lucrative return. The only annoyance is that the 2X points only kicks in from your second stay onwards.
