IHG recently announced a promotion where you can get 30% off all award stays.  This can be a great opportunity to book award stays using IHG points, or even rebook existing stays for fewer points possibly. Now, since IHG doesn’t have an award chart at all to tell you how much these hotels “should” cost, giving 30% off is potentially not very useful, but it’s still worth checking out to see if the promotion makes sense for you.

The promotion email I got said I could “enjoy 30% savings at our most desirable destinations across the US, Canada, Mexico, Latin America and the Caribbean”. Logging onto the promo page on IHG’s website, I believe that is for 4 different brands

  • InterContinental Hotels & Resorts
  • Vignette Collection Hotels
  • Kimpton Hotels & Restaurants
  • Hotel Indigo

And only in the United States, Canada, Mexico, Latin America and the Caribbean

You can view the details of the 30% off discount on IHG’s site here

Promotion available to IHG One Rewards Members on IHG direct booking channels using the ‘Exclusive Member Offer’ rate.
  • The Promotion offers savings of 30% off of the hotel’s Best Flexible Rate which is a variable, unrestricted, non-qualified, non-discount rate. Rates are per room, per night and are subject to availability during the Stay Dates.
  • Valid for stays between October 11, 2024 – February 28, 2025 (both dates inclusive). Bookings must be made three (3) days in advance of your check-in date and minimum length of stay may be required at select hotels.

  • The Promotion is only valid in the United States, Canada, Mexico, Latin America and the Caribbean at participating InterContinental Hotels & Resorts, Vignette Collection Hotels, Kimpton Hotels & Restaurants, and Hotel Indigo. The list of participating hotels can be found on the Promotional offer website. The Promotional offer is not valid in conjunction with any other offer, discount or promotion.

Visit www.ihgonerewards.com for details. IHG reserves the right to remove a member’s points or cancel a member’s account if fraudulent use of the Promotion is detected. If you are not currently an IHG One Rewards member, you will be required to enroll prior to making a booking.

Great For Free Night Certificates And Rebooking

This award sale can be great for people using one of the free night certificates that come with the various IHG credit cards. Those certificates are good for 40,000 points per night, so this can mean the difference between being able to use one of your certificates directly vs. having to top it off with extra points.

Remember too that most points reservations are cancellable without any penalty, so if you already have a points reservation booked for the time period above, you can check and see if it would make sense to cancel and rebook (if it’s at a lower rate than when you originally booked it)

The Bottom Line

IHG is out with a promotion where you can get 30% off select award bookings. This is a limited time offer that is only good if you book by October 10th (Thursday), so you’ll want to act now if you’re planning on taking advantage. If you have any existing award bookings during the promotional time period, you’ll also want to check on those and possibly rebook them.

Good luck and happy travels!
