Quick Thoughts

Although you need to stay two nights in order to earn the 3,000 bonus points, those don’t have to be consecutive nights as part of a 2+ night stay. You could instead book two separate one night stays and you’ll still earn the 3,000 points. While this is a targeted offer, it seems that they cast a fairly wide net. Most of the FM team was able to register, but my wife was left out in the IHG One cold.

If you’re considering booking a paid IHG stay, the shopping portal Topcashback is offering 6% cashback on most IHG brands right now (December 16th). There is also a Chase offer giving 15% back that will stack with this promo (and the TCB payout).
