This deal started as a sweet Valentine’s day surprise and it ends today. The broad strokes are: You must buy at least 5k points to receive a 100% bonus when you buy IHG points. If you were to buy the maximum 60,000, you would receive a total of 120k points for an effective purchase price of $0.00575 per point. I listed a few different ways that this can be beneficial to you, but as with any point currency, I never recommend speculatively buying points. Today is the last day to get a 100% bonus when you buy IHG points.
Here are a few instances from my previous post where I think it makes sense to buy points:
The Cleveland Clinic is one of the best hospitals in the world. In fact, it’s where many of my family members have gone for Cardiovascular check-ups. The Intercontinental Cleveland is attached to the hospital and can be had for just 25k points. The last time my folks, who have Ambassador status, visited they redeemed points and were upgraded to a JR Suite – a great use of points.
I checked rates in the summer and they were coming in over $270. If you were to buy points at $0.00575 per point, the 25,000 award rate would only set you back $143.75. That’s a great discount for a very solid hotel.
This Monkey didn't get the name Miles for nothing. I might look like an innocent little furball, but I am a Points and Awards BEAST!! Follow me around the world to see how I fly in lie flat seats and sleep in 5* suites for pennies on the dollar.
