Since IHG revamped its program, IHG Rewards in 2022, getting a platinum or diamond status became easy for a brief time – even for those who never stayed at IHG properties. The program also promised exclusive discounts to Platinum and Diamond members.
Now, the time has come for such an offer. Until October 30, 2024 platinum and diamond members get 15% off on award nights for stays until November 22, 2024. To get the discount, all you need to do is sign in to your IHG account and search for a stay with points.
Points redemptions can be especially tempting in conjunction with IHG’s Confirmable Suite-Upgrades, that are available as a milestone reward.
As part of this offer, you can find many hotels with an equivalent value of 0.6 or 1 euro cents per point. We listed some examples below.
Currently, there is no landing page for this offer. So, simply search for the desired hotel on IHG.com and set “points” as the currency. The reduced prices will then be displayed automatically. You do, however, have to be logged in! Alternatively, you can also use the form below:
Conditions
The offer is valid until October 30, 2024 for IHG Rewards Platinum & Diamond members logged in. The travel period ends on November 22, 2024. Remember to be logged in for the discounted rate to be displayed.
Apparently, there are no restrictions on the hotels themselves, the discount applies to any hotel where reward nights can be booked. If you book a Points&Cash rate, the discount only applies to the points part.
Examples
We compared the cash and point prices for a few hotels worldwide. You can find many hotels with a value of 0.64-0.80 euro cents.
- Holiday Inn Express Amsterdam – City Hall (November 5, 2024):
- Regent Hong Kong (November 14, 2024)
- InterContinental Berlin (November 21, 2024)
In most cases, point bookings don’t come with additional costs like resort fees, facility fees or other extra-payments. However, there is no written rule regarding that policy. Some resort or hotels might charge you extra.
