IHG just dropped a MEGA PROMO on one of their coolest and most luxurious brands: KIMPTON
Stay at qualifying Kimptons around the world between now and 12/30/21 and you can earn 10,000 points PER NIGHT and enjoy 15% off their best flexible rate Sunday to Thursday. This is a fantastic promo IMO. I value IHG points at roughly 1/2 a penny a point so this is effectively getting $50 off per night of your stay + an additional 15% off on the weekdays of your trip. Let’s look at the details – but mainly YOU NEED TO BOOK BY AUGUST 9th, 2021
- 10k a night for any stay between now and 12/30/21
- 15% off the best flexible rate on the weekdays ( Sunday to Thursday )
- Must book by August 9th, 2021
- Cancel anytime before arrival as long as it’s 3 days prior to your stay
Yes…the Kimpton Fitzroy in London is on the list
- I’ve had the pleasure of staying at this property which you can read the review on here

We keep an up to date spreadsheet that lists the best ever offers: You can find that spreadsheet here.
Historically 80k is a very, very good offer and hit in both 2022 and 2023. In 2021, we saw the offer hit an all time high of 100k. Who knows if that will ever come back.
Main Cast:
Cards that earn flexible points and should be used on the bulk of your purchases.
Supporting Cast:
Cards that earn fixed points in the currency of the airline/hotel and can not be transferred at attractive rates. These cards yield benefits that make it worth keeping, but not necessarily worth putting a lot of your everyday spend on.
The Chase Sapphire Preferred® is exceptional starter card and offers transferrable Ultimate Rewards, and pairs well with other Chase cards.
If you carry this card alongside Chase’s cashback cards like the Chase Freedom Flex® and Chase Freedom Unlimited® or the business versions: Ink Business Cash® , Ink Business Unlimited® you can combine the points into Preferred account and transfer into hotel and airline partners
Annual fee is quite low at $95 a year + you get a 10% anniversary bonus on points + $50 hotel credit in Chase travel.
