IHG have launched a 5-day flash sale offering a 100% bonus when you buy IHG Rewards Club points.

IHG Rewards Club is the loyalty program for the Intercontinental Hotels Group (IHG) which includes Crowne Plaza, Kimpton, Regent, Holiday Inn, Hotel Indigo and Intercontinental hotels.

IHG 100% bonus points flash sale

When should you consider buying points?

A free night at one of IHG’s top category properties such as Intercontinental Hong Kong or the Intercontinental Paris – Le Grand costs 70,000 IHG points per night. Here’s what buying those points in this sale would cost:

IHG buy points example

 As you can see, via this flash sale you can purchase 70,000 IHG points for $350. At the time of writing that was approximately £276 or 0.39p per point.

In certain circumstances, this is clearly a good deal. Cash rates at the IC Paris – Le Grand for example, regularly exceed €400 per night and can hit €750+ in the peak summer months.

If you redeemed points purchased in this promotion, you’ll pay circa £275 per night for your room – a ‘discount’ of £150+ per night on the cash rate!

Are we likely to see a better bonus come along? IHG Rewards Club runs numerous ‘buy points’ promotions throughout the year and historically a 100% bonus is the largest version we’ve seen.
