IHG is now offering a promotion that lets you earn UA miles on hotel stays. After registering and completing an eligible stay, your spending can earn 3x UA miles. In general, UA miles are usually worth quite a bit more than IHG points, so you can choose which currency to earn based on your own needs.

Key terms:

  • You must change your earning preference in your IHG account from IHG points to UA miles
  • Earn 300 miles per $100 spent

To earn miles for a Qualifying Stay at participating IHG Hotels & Resorts, United Airlines MileagePlus® members need to be registered as an IHG One Rewards member and select United Airlines | MileagePlus® as their earning preference in their IHG One Rewards account, prior to check-in. Miles are awarded on a base rate of two (2) miles per $1 USD spent on qualifying room rates and Eligible Charges at all participating IHG Hotels & Resorts properties, with the following exceptions: Candlewood Suites® and Staybridge Suites® have a base rate of one (1) mile per $1 USD spent, and The Venetian® Resort Las Vegas and The Venetian® Macao have a base level of 500 miles per Qualifying Stay. Earning “triple miles” or “3X miles” during the Promotion means that the total number of regular “base miles” and promotional “bonus miles” combined will equal three (3) times the number of base miles the Eligible Member would normally receive on the room night rate and Eligible Charges. To receive “base miles,” an Eligible Member must have selected United Airlines | MileagePlus® as their earning preference in their IHG One Rewards account, and to be eligible for “triple miles” the Eligible Member must have registered for the Promotion. For example, if both of these requirements have been met, then a member with a Promotion Eligible Qualifying Stay that includes two (2) qualifying room nights with a per night room rate of $100.00 at an IHG hotel with a two (2) miles per $1 USD earn rate for base miles would be eligible to earn 400 base miles (2 miles x $100/night x 2 nights = 400 miles) and an additional 800 promotional bonus miles, for a total of 1200 United MileagePlus® miles for their room rate spend.
