The Deal
With this promotion you will only pay about 0.575 cents per IHG point. This is a good deal! Check out the cost of the reservation that you are wanting to book and compare the cost of the points to see if this promotion saves you money!
Terms
Offer available for purchases made between 12:00 AM ET October 24, 2017 and 11:59 PM ET November 9, 2017 inclusive. This is an exclusive, non-transferable offer for intended recipient only and may not be forwarded. Bonus points will be awarded upon completion of the transaction. Bonus points will be awarded to the recipient of the points purchase. Offer is subject to change. Offer cannot be combined with any other offer. Only purchases made online are eligible for bonus.
Price includes all applicable fees. Purchased Points are not refundable and are applicable toward all IHG® Rewards Club awards. Members may purchase a maximum of 60,000 points per calendar year and receive as a gift a maximum of 60,000 points per calendar year. Please allow 24-48 hours for points to post and appear in the recipient’s account. All other IHG® Rewards Club Terms and Conditions apply.
Bottom Line
If you compare the cost of buying the points to the hotel nightly cost that you are looking to book, this promotion could save you some good money! For example, a few years ago we stayed at the InterContinental Thalasso Bora Bora which for an overwater bungalow can run you $900+ a night. If you can get award availability, you can certainly do better paying with points.
I really wanted to like this deal, but I just can’t.
I looked for a Holiday Inn in Chicago, MagMile, in January, and it costs either $80 cash or 40,000 points, and with this 100% bonus offer, I can buy 40,000 points for $250. So I need to spend 3x as much if I buy points vs. booking with cash.
I don’t think so.
