tl;dr – IHG is back with another points sale, offering a 80% bonus on purchases of 5,000 or more points.
Most leading hotel chains offer regular opportunities to purchase discounted points, usually a few times a year. Well, through the end of the month, May 3, 2025, you can scoop up IHG points with a 80% bonus. I cover buying points in greater detail in this intro to points and miles primer, but I’m a big fan of purchasing points as there are always immediate opportunities to save money on hotel stays you know you’re planning to do. As IHG offers some competitive cash+points rates, and IHG credit cardholders get the 4th night free on redemptions, purchasing points during this sale could be a strategic move for the right person.
It’s worth mentioning that IHG is seemingly always selling points throughout the year (and usually with a 100% bonus), so if you aren’t a buyer here, there will be plenty more opportunities to purchase points likely at a better price. Ok, let’s jump into it.
Key Terms
- Members can purchase up to 200,000 IHG Points in a year.
- In order to receive the 80% bonus, you’ll need to purchase at least 5,000 points.
How Do You Purchase IHG Points?
- Visit IHG.com and click on “IHG One Rewards” in the right corner, to log into your account. On the next page, scroll down to find and select “Choose from two ways to buy points.”
- On the next page, scroll down to find “Stock up for travel” and select “Buy now.” On the following page, “Buy points.”
- Once you’re on Points.com storefront, you can select how many points you want to purchase from the dropdown menu. Follow the prompts from there to checkout and finish your purchase.
What are Some Good Uses of IHG One Rewards?
If you went all-in and purchased 200,000 points, you’d have a total of 400,000 IHG points, with which you can do some damage. Admittedly, I’m not the most frequent IHG Hotels & Resorts guest but there are most definitely some gems in the chain’s portfolio. For instance, you can visit Grand Cayman and stay right on Seven Mile Beach at the Kimpton Seafire Resort and Spa.
Conclusion
This is a flash sale and a quick one at that so if you plan to take advantage of this 80% bonus offer on IHG Rewards purchases, you have until the May 3, 2025 to do so.
