IHG award stays carry a 15% points discount, but only for cardholders and top-tier elites
IHG One Rewards is running an award sale giving 15% off point bookings at properties worldwide, shown only to signed-in members, and the chain has reportedly confirmed it is limited to cardholders and Platinum and Diamond members.
Frequent Miler reports that IHG One Rewards is running a sale on award stays: 15% off point bookings at properties worldwide. The discount appears only when a member is logged in to their account. In an update, the site says IHG has confirmed the sale is open to both cardholders and members holding Platinum or Diamond status.
For this desk, that places a loyalty promotion in the booking-detail column rather than a route or entry rule. The effect is on redemptions: a member's points cost falls by 15% on participating stays, but the price shown depends on being signed in and eligible.
Our reading
This matters to readers who redeem IHG points rather than pay cash, because eligibility is now tied to either holding a co-brand card or holding upper-tier status, so two members can see different prices for the same award night. The detail worth noting is that the discount is not advertised to logged-out visitors, meaning the only reliable way to know your price is to sign in first. It is a sing…
What to do or watch
Sign in to your IHG One Rewards account and price the award night you want while logged in, comparing it against what you see logged out. The source does not state when the sale ends or which properties are excluded, so check the booking window and any exclusions directly with IHG before you commit points.
