Perhaps it’s my imagination, but it feels like hotel chains have been offering an increased number of promotions for attending timeshare presentations over the last year or two.

Quick Thoughts
IHG One Rewards points frequently go on sale for 0.5cpp, so 50,000 points can often be purchased for $250. With the cost of the stay being $199-$249, that effectively means you’re getting a free three night getaway when taking into account the bonus points you’ll receive in return for attending a timeshare presentation during that getaway.
It looks like the higher $249 cost comes about when staying at a Holiday Inn Club Vacations property, while the lower $199 fee is if you stay at one of their partner hotels instead. Eligible destinations include:
- Cocoa Beach, FL
- Orlando, FL
- Branson, MO
- Las Vegas, NV
- Myrtle Beach, SC
- Gatlinburg, TN
- Galveston, TX
- Williamsburg, VA
As always with these types of deals, only take advantage of this offer if you know that you’ll be able to withstand the pressure and not sign up for a timeshare. You can read about my experience and Nick’s experience at timeshare presentations, albeit with different vacation rental companies.

Can you tell them you are single to avoid bringing your spouse or is there some kind of verification they need to do?
I’m not sure if they’d be able to verify if you have a spouse or not.
You sign an agreement saying you are bringing your spouse if you have one and there could be more paperwork when you actually arrive but there’s no verification. So it depends on your comfort level with “attesting to the truth” of a lie.
When I checked this out, only certain locations (Vegas) showed you would get 50k points, the other locations that I checked said 10k points. I didn’t look at every location though.
I agreed to a similar offer last year when I was on the phone changing a rez. It turned out to be a nightmare. After I made my reservation they switched my hotel from the CP in the French Quarter to a Holiday Inn by the Superdome. I argued with them but to no avail (they said the fact that there was obvious availability at the CP for my dates was irrelevant as “each hotel has a limited number of rooms for this program” I’m guessing that numberis around 2). I told them to keep the damn $ (it’s totally nonrefundable) and cancel the rez. They continued to send me near daily emails about needing to make a rez for my timeshare offer. The only reason I even accepted and paid for the deal was that the salespitch guy specifically said I’d be staying at the CP if I chose NOLA. I would never have given them $ to stay at the HI.
I’d already booked airfare so I just stayed at a nice Marriott on points. Screw IHG.
The direct link is only saying 10,000 points for me
Same here.
I think this is targeted, and you need to click through an email you’ve received.
When I click through the posted link, I also get 10k. When i clicked through the link I was emailed, I’m shown the correct 50k.
I’ve just updated the link in the post – that hopefully shows the 50k offer now.
