There’s a new IHG Amex Offer that dropped this week, giving $40 back when you spend at least $200 across almost all of IHG’s brands. The spend requirement is additive, so it can be on more than one transaction, and the total spend must be reached by June 16th, 2023 in order to trigger the offer.

Quick Thoughts

It’s been a minute since we’ve seen an Amex offer for IHG, which makes sense given that Chase issues all of IHG’s credit cards. While the terms officially exclude gift cards, normally these offers can be triggered by buying a gift card from the front desk of a hotel. That said, most IHG hotels won’t sell gift cards at the front desk, with the notable exception of Kimpton. Do be aware that Kimpton gift cards can’t be used at other IHG brands…just Kimpton.

If you have paid stays with IHG, this is an obvious winner and it’s widely targeted…I have it on almost all of my Amex Membership Rewards-earning cards. Be sure to register for IHG’s current promotion before your stay(s).

I’m assuming this will not work on a cash + points booking, as purchase of points is excluded…

But would appreciate any data points either way!

“…giving $40 back when you spend at least $200 across almost all of IHG’s brands.”

And you failed to mention the most important restriction: Valid only for hotels in the USA and its territories.

Teri

You didn’t think to mention it in the introduction, considering you wrote “almost all of IHG’s brands”? When 35% of IHG properties are excluded, you shouldn’t contradict yourself by writing “almost.” Yeah…”weird.”

Teri

Yes. Brands are not the same as the number of properties, but it can be inferred that all properties are included because of what you left out in the intro. It’s clear from the comments that others thought it was most properties, including outside of US.

I have a FHR stay at a ihg property coming up in a few weeks in Portugal, I could use this offer for additional charges & even another hotel in portugal if i wanted to?

I just added the offer on my Platinum cars via the mobile app and the terms say “US and US territories”. Not sure if it’s the same offer for everyone. Bummer, the paid rate was a bit better than buying points for the stay I was going to make in Taiwan.

Got it on my ancient Blue

Tim

Does the stay need to be completed by 8/31? Or booked by then?

Nipun

Will it work on the purchase of ambassador status from ihg

Mauro

Hey Tim, Any updates on this are we able to use it towards Ambassador status?

Martin

Did you try this Nipun? If so, did it work?

Mary

Not on our Platinum cards, but is on our Everyday cards. 🙁
