If you like IHG, you might want to get in on the 100% bonus offer on points. From now until Nov. 8th, when you buy IHG points, you will get a 100% match. IHG points are good at Holiday Inn, Holiday Inn Express, Intercontinental, Kimpton, Crowne Plaza, Hotel Indigo, Even Hotels, Hualuxe, Regent, and Six Sense. All in all 16 brands with 6,000 locations. IHG uses dynamic pricing so you do have to decide whether using points makes sense. We value IHG points at 5 cents each.
The 100% bonus kicks in at 30,000 points so you need to spend a minimum of $300 to earn 60,000 points. The max is $2,500 for 500,000 points. You will also need to do some research to see if it's worth it for you and your family. There are some great IHG properties in the Maldives and the Caribbean. A quick search showed a lovely Kimpton Hotel in Grand Cayman for 70,000 points per night. If you paid per night, the website says it would cost you $1,200 per night. So obviously if you spent $2,500 on 500,000 points, it would be a sweet deal.
You can use awardmapper.com to locate IHG hotels throughout the world.
The sale ends Nov. 8th so you have some time to do the research and decide if this is a good offer for you. We don't usually recommend buying points, but I know some people who use this promotion to travel the rest of the year and swear by it.
