Quick Thoughts

A 70% headline rate sounds impressive, but it’s really not; not for IHG anyway. Chase Ultimate Rewards ordinarily transfer to IHG on a 1:1 basis which means that with the transfer bonus it’s increased to 1:1.7. The thing is, IHG frequently sells its points for 0.5 cents per point meaning that 1 cent buys you 2 points. If you exchange 1 Ultimate Rewards point for 1.7 points, it means you’re getting less than 1 cent per point of value compared to just buying the points with cash.
