Should You Buy IHG Points?
IHG points are worth around 0.5 cents per point. If you have a higher-end hotel redemption in mind, check whether its value exceeds that. Also, if you have an IHG credit card, you may be able to get more value from your points: the IHG Premier Card offers the fourth night free on award stays, so you can book a four-night stay with 25% fewer points. The discontinued IHG Select Card returns 10% of the points you redeem to your account.
The lowest price for buying IHG points is 0.5 cents per point, so you can stock up if you have a use for them.
