• After registering for the Promotion, a member can earn 3,000 bonus points for every two (2) qualifying room night stays during the Promotion Period.

Quick Thoughts

This IHG One Rewards promotion is very similar to several that they’ve run over the last couple of years. We’re now in a “pre-registration” window where you can register for the promotion and start booking stays although the actual promotional period doesn’t start until 9/19/24. This undoubtedly will create at least a little confusion as I’m sure some folks will assume that stays booked once they register will count towards the promo.

The promotion as it stands isn’t terribly lucrative. We value IHG points at .62 cents each and this promotion effectively gives an extra 1,500 points per night (assuming you don’t stay an odd number of nights), or ~$9.30/night in value. That’s better than a kick in the pants for sure, but nothing that should inspire anyone to change any stays in order to take advantage of it.

Note that award nights DO NOT count towards this promo.
