IHG is having a very big year. They unveiled their new IHG One Rewards program chock full of new benefits, earn structure, and elite tiers. They currently have a 4x promo running, a status match, and if that wasn’t enough, they’ve launched a new auction style experience portal. You can now use your IHG One Rewards to bid on sporting events, concerts, etc. It’s brand spanking new, so I’d guess if you’re interested in the first batch of experiences, you may not have a lot of competition on bidding, so I’d recommend taking a look.

I don’t get it. It says redeemable at 100k. Does this mean I can just use 100k right away without bidding and secure the experience?
Some are true auctions some are buy it now – if it just has a price then you can purchase, if it says bid, it’s like a normal auction
IHG used to have an auction/experience site, so this is it returning and it’s not new.
