IHG has recently introduced a promotion worth watching closely: buy points and get up to 100% bonus points, which means an effective price as low as $0.005 per point. This appears to be a targeted offer, and some members may receive different bonus levels.
Promotion deadline: June 13, 2025.
Additionally, according to DP, if you have the IHG Hotels 10% off Chase offer, you can also trigger that offer when buying points.

Key Terms
- This offer applies only to IHG One Rewards point purchases made from June 6, 2025 at 12:00 AM ET to June 13, 2025 at 11:59 PM ET.
- Members must purchase at least 40,000 points per transaction to receive the 100% bonus.
- The annual purchase limit is 200,000 points, including both purchased and bonus points.
- Purchased points and bonus points do not count toward IHG One Rewards elite status.
- This offer is for invited members only, is non-transferable; IHG reserves the right to make changes, and cannot be combined with other offers.
- Pricing includes all fees, but applicable taxes apply.
- Purchased points are non-refundable and can be used for all IHG One Rewards rewards.
- Please allow up to 72 hours for points to post to your account.
Best Ways to Use IHG Points
- Fourth Night Free: When booking 4 nights with points, you pay for only 3 nights. This is available for holders of the IHG Premier card. Regardless of whether you stay for multiple nights, you can still enjoy this benefit.
- 10% Points Rebate: If you hold the older version of the IHG card, you can receive 10% points back when booking award stays; the rebate posts a few weeks after your stay.
- Dynamic Pricing Advantage*: Although IHG reward stays are dynamic, the points needed can sometimes be less than the cash rate. For example, one hotel is 258.81 USD per night in cash, but only 19,000-23,000 points. This can make the effective cost as low as 95 to 115 USD per night, about half of normal stay costs.
In short, this IHG points-buying promotion is a rare-value opportunity, especially for frequent travelers, and especially for cardholders of participating card-specific offers. Buying points at this price point can save you a significant amount on future travel.
If you’re interested, be sure to participate before the deadline and check the terms carefully so you can take full advantage of this promotion without issues.
