IHG One Rewards promos

IHG has been releasing promotions left, right, and center and they just dropped another one targeting the US and Mexico with they’re newer brands. I always register for these promotions regardless of whether I’ll take advantage. Ordinarily, the registration period is shorter than the promotional stay period so it always pays to register. This latest one allows registration throughout the stay period, but as you’ll see from other promos currently running, older promotions registration period has closed.

3x Points US and Mexico: Avid, Atwell Suites, EVEN, Garner

Zach how is the 3x calculated?

This is how its defined in the terms and conditions…basically add 20x to the base rate of the hotel price.

  • One-night Qualifying Stay with a room rate of $100.00 at an IHG hotel with a 10 points per USD earn rate for base points, the member would earn 1,000 base points (10 points x $100 = 1,000 points) and an additional 2,000 promotional bonus points, for a total of 3,000 points

IHG credit cards

I keep two IHG credit cards: an old IHG Rewards Select that is no longer available and the IHG Premier. The Premier is a fantastic and includes a free night every year ( up to 40k points ) and a 4th night free when booking with points.

IHG Ambassador

I’ve been a member of IHG Ambassador for years and easily extract the $200 value each and every since on the free weekend night certificate alone. Here’s an upcoming look at a stay where I’m booking a suite and getting the second night free as a result of the status.

What are IHG points valued at?

I’d peg them at 1/2 of one penny or $0.005 per point. 10k points = $50.

Overall

Whether you’re planning IHG stays or not, it never hurts to register for promos so if you do end up staying, you can take advantage of the added value.

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.

    Dear monkeymiles ,

    At 80 k points when 2000 usd spend is a 40x points and 20% return and not 40% cashback.

    Best regards

  • Fahad Anjum July 10, 2022

    If u add 8k points for promo ihg is running now for 2 stays on app booking it will be a total of 88 k points and a return of almost 50%.

  • Aleks June 15, 2022

    Yes, got some promo points posted already, but they somehow lowered my base spend.

    A very detailed earning example you did, thanks, but mistake for 2nd 3k bonus for CC should be after 6th night.

    50% return for card users is pretty good nowadays, considering high prices, although I see many hotels half empty so far…

  • Mbh May 8, 2022

    I tried to register and was asked for a promo code.

  • C J May 8, 2022

    Plus 10 points per $ for using credit card
