IHG Avid 4x Bonus Points

The Deal

Key Terms

  • You must be an IHG® Rewards member and must register your member number in advance of staying, to participate in the “4X points at avid hotels” (“Promotion”).
  • Members can pre-register for this promotion starting July 26, 2021 through August 1, 2021. Members will be able to register, stay, and earn for this promotion beginning August 2, 2021 and ending on November 30, 2021 (“Promotion Period”).
  • Upon registration, members will be presented with the opportunity to earn 4X bonus points every night stayed at an avid hotel during the Promotion Period when paying a Qualifying Rate (as such rates are defined in the IHG Rewards terms and conditions).
  • A member earning “4X bonus points every night”, as defined by this campaign, will receive four times the base points earned on every night stayed at an avid hotel on a qualifying rate. You must register, book, and stay on or before November 30, 2021 to earn bonus points during the Promotion Period.
  • By clicking “click to register” you are registering for the Promotion. Members will be awarded bonus points based upon the number of nights consumed during the Promotion Period at avid hotels. Promotion Period begins on August 2, 2021 and ends on November 30, 2021. Members will only receive bonus points for nights occurring during the Promotion Period. Nights that occurred before or after the Promotion Period are excluded. The bonus points earned during the Promotion Period can be used towards Reward Nights, can be redeemed for merchandise, or for other redemption opportunities.
  • Qualifying nights are booked under a Qualifying Rate, with total spend exceeding US $30 for said night. The Promotion Period includes 121 nights and the maximum number of bonus points that can be earned per member is 30,000 bonus points over the entire Promotion Period.
  • For additional details on Qualifying Nights and Rates, please see the full IHG® Rewards Club Membership Terms and Conditions . Only one room per member per Qualifying Night will be eligible for the applicable bonus points, or other benefits (if any) available under the applicable Promotion. If more than one member checks into the same room, only one member is eligible for the applicable bonus points, or other benefits (if any) available under the applicable Promotion. If a member books more than one room on the same night, they will only receive Promotion points on one room and points will be based off the room with the higher average room night rate over the Promotion Period. IHG Rewards Members with a Miles earning preference will earn Points. No retroactive bonus points will be awarded for nights prior to registration in the Promotion. Except as otherwise stated in the terms and conditions, please allow up to 4 to 6 weeks for Promotion bonus points to be credited after checkout.

Quick Deals

When IHG launched their new Avid brand a few years ago, they offered triple points on stays. At the time I think they only had a couple of Avid properties open, whereas now they have 45 (see the full list here) which makes it a little easier to take advantage of this promotion.

IHG Rewards offers 10x base points per dollar on Avid stays, so earning 4x means you’ll be earning 40x. If you pay with an IHG Premier card you’ll earn an additional 10x. If you have an IHG Premier card that means you also have Platinum status and so you’ll earn an extra 5x bonus points. For anyone with Spire Elite status, that 5x Platinum bonus becomes 10x. That means a Spire Elite member who pays with an IHG Premier credit card will earn a total of 60x points on the stay which is a fantastic return, or 55x for Platinum members.

If your stay takes place from August 2-16, it’ll presumably stack with this separate IHG promotion. If it’s your second stay within the promotion period then that’s another 10x you’ll earn, or 20x if it’s your third stay. On top of that, you’ll earn 3,000 bonus points on your second and third stays. That means you could earn up to 80x IHG Rewards points as well as 3,000 bonus points.

The terms list a limit of 30,000 bonus points earned from this promotion. Seeing as you’re earning 30x actual bonus points (as the first 10x are base points), you’ll max this out when spending $1,000 on Avid stays.

Great return if you had to stay there anyway.

$1K at an Avid for 40K IHG points. I’m not a buyer.

Avid Hotel lobbies look like large kindergartens.
