Quick Thoughts

This is a nice little promotion if you have any upcoming IHG stays. I checked a few properties I’ve been eyeing and the 15% discounts appear to be real. I have an expiring IHG 40K free night certificate that can’t be topped off (it comes from the old no-longer-available IHG card) and a few places just dropped into the price range for the certificate, so this worked out swimmingly for me.

Unfortunately, this can’t be combined with the 4th night free benefit for those who hold an IHG card with that benefit — it is only valid on stays of 3 nights or fewer. Still, this could present a nice savings for short stays.
