IHG cardholders: Ebook by Oct. 28 and get 15% off award stays of three nights or much less

Editor’s observe: We have up to date this put up for the brand new promotion.

In January after which March, IHG supplied 20% off award stays of three nights or longer. Nicely, now that sale is again — albeit with a 15% low cost — for IHG One Rewards members with a Chase IHG Rewards bank card. Should you’re eligible, you possible bought an e mail titled “Only for you: 15% off Reward Nights” this morning.

Eligible IHG cardholders can get a 15% low cost on reward nights when reserving stays of three consecutive nights or much less. Cardholders should log into their IHG One Rewards account, guide award stays at collaborating lodges between Oct. 24, 2022, and Oct. 28, 2022, and begin their keep by Dec. 16, 2022, to be eligible for the low cost.

Eligible cardholders will get a 15% low cost on the factors wanted to guide an award keep. And IHG may also low cost the money portion of factors and money awards by 15%.

At the moment, the low cost is just obtainable to Chase IHG credit score cardmembers. Nevertheless, when IHG ran related promotions in January and March, different members gained entry later through the reserving window. As such, I wouldn’t be shocked to see extra IHG members get entry to this low cost quickly.

Skeptics might observe that IHG makes use of dynamic pricing and will increase award costs resulting from this promotion. So, I checked that IHG is making use of a 15% low cost by trying to find the above award twice: as soon as when logged into my IHG One Rewards account (which is linked to an eligible IHG cobranded card account) and as soon as when logged out.

The most effective versatile charge with the identical cancellation coverage because the reward night time proven within the above screenshot is 465.6 Australian {dollars} ($293.81). So for this reserving, you’d get:

• 0.79 cents per level in the event you redeem 37,400 factors.
• 0.81 cents per level in the event you redeem 32,400 factors plus $31.
• 0.85 cents per level in the event you redeem 27,400 factors plus $61.
• 0.91 cents per level in the event you redeem 22,400 factors plus $90.
• 1.01 cents per level in the event you redeem 17,400 factors plus $119.

Listed here are the award costs I discovered for this identical keep when logged out of my account:

As you possibly can see, IHG reductions each the factors and the factors and money charge after I’m logged in. You don’t must register for the promotion or do something particular to get the low cost in the event you’re an eligible cardholder — simply log in to your IHG account and seek for award nights as you normally would. Based mostly on my searches, Six Senses properties that you may guide with IHG factors aren’t discounted throughout this promotion.

Since this promotion is just for award stays of three nights or much less, it isn’t stackable with the fourth-night reward supplied as a profit on the IHG® Rewards Premier Credit score Card, IHG® Rewards Traveler Credit score Card and IHG® Rewards Premier Enterprise Credit score Card.

Should you’re eligible for this promotion, examine award charges and think about rebooking when you have IHG award stays booked through the keep interval.
