IHG promo: Earn 3x points at select brands (Avid, Atwell Suites, Garner, EVEN & voco)

IHG One Rewards has launched a new promotion offering triple points on stays through the end of the year. While this is only valid on five of their new brands, it should stack with another concurrent promotion that awards 3,000 points for every two nights completed at any IHG property during the same time period.

The Deal

• Earn 3x points when staying at the following IHG brands:
  • EVEN
  • Avid
  • Garner
  • Atwell Suites
  • voco
• Direct link to registration.

Key Terms

• Members can pre-register for this Promotion starting September 19, 2024 through September 30, 2024 (the “Pre-Registration Period”).
• Members will be able to stay and earn IHG One Rewards bonus points under this Promotion beginning October 1, 2024 and ending on December 31, 2024 (the “Promotion Period”).
• Members who did not register during the Pre-Registration Period may register for the Promotion during the Promotion Period.
• After registering for the Promotion, a member can earn bonus points on qualifying room nights during the Promotion Period at all avid, Atwell, EVEN, voco and/or Garner hotels. This offer is only available for the listed brands above.
• To be a qualifying room night under the Promotion, the room night must fall within the Promotion Period and must be part of a Promotion Eligible Qualifying Stay.  As stated, the “Promotion Period” is from October 1, 2024 through December 31, 2024.
• For purposes of this Promotion, a “Promotion Eligible Qualifying Stay” is defined as a minimum one (1) night stay at a participating hotel booked under a Qualifying Rate, with total spend exceeding US $30 (or local currency equivalent) for each night.
• Stays booked using Rewards Nights or Points & Cash are not Promotion Eligible Qualifying Stays for purposes of this Promotion.
• Bookings made through on-line travel agencies or other reservation sites such as booking.com or expedia.com also do not qualify under this Promotion.
• For the 3X Unlimited Promotion, earning “3X” or “3X bonus points” on stays through December 31, 2024 means the total number of regular “base points” and promotional “bonus points” combined will equal three (3) times the base points the member would normally receive just for being an IHG One Rewards member.
• For example, under the 3X Unlimited Promotion, for a one-night Qualifying Stay with a room rate of $100.00 at an IHG hotel with a 10 points per USD earn rate for base points, the member would earn 1,000 base points (10 points x $100 = 1,000 points) and an additional 2,000 promotional bonus points, for a total of 3,000 points. The promotional bonus points under this Promotion are calculated based solely on the base points the member is eligible to earn for a Qualifying Stay just for being an IHG One Rewards member, and any Elite status bonus points or any other bonus or promotional points the member may be eligible to receive for the same stay are not included.

Quick Thoughts

I was initially excited when I saw this new offer, but became less enthused after realizing that it’s only valid at EVEN, Avid, Garner, voco and Atwell Suites. Although these are five of their newest brands, anecdotally I’ve started noticing them appearing in search results more frequently when I’ve been looking at booking stays, particularly their Avid brand. In fact, I have a reservation for one of their Avid properties during the promotion period, but won’t earn any bonus points as it’s an award stay rather than paid stay with a room rate of $30+.

This promotion will stack with another promo that IHG launched that covers all brands. Triple points from this offer means you’ll earn 30 points per dollar on top of the 3K bonus points from that other promo. If you have status, that’ll earn you additional bonus points, while paying with an IHG credit card will earn you an extra 5x or 10x bonus points depending on which IHG card you have. All of that could combine to make stays at these five brands quite a bit more appealing during the last quarter of the year.

Clicking through from a shopping portal can earn you cashback/rewards on the stay, plus keep an eye out for Chase Offers for one of these specific IHG brands or for IHG in general.
