IHG One Rewards is back with another 100% bonus on purchased points, making this one of the best times to stock up. This promotion runs from 12:00 AM ET on February 20, 2025, through 11:59 PM ET on February 28, 2025. To get the 100% bonus, you must buy at least 5,000 points in a single transaction.
While this offer is widely available, some members may receive a different promotion—so it’s best to log into your IHG One Rewards account to check your personal offer.
Should You Buy IHG One Rewards Points?
Buying points isn’t always a great deal, but IHG One Rewards is an exception. I consistently redeem IHG points for more than 0.5 cents per point (CPP), and this sale lets you buy them for just 0.5 CPP, effectively locking in future redemptions at a solid rate.
I’ve also found strong redemptions at mid-tier hotels. A recent 30,000-point stay at a Holiday Inn Express saved me from paying $175 per night. While the value isn’t as oversized, it still made sense, especially since IHG points are easy to replenish during such promotions.
Why Buy Instead of Transfer?
IHG is a transfer partner of Chase Ultimate Rewards and Bilt Rewards, but I rarely transfer those points to IHG. Since I value IHG points at about 0.5 CPP, I can get much better value from Chase and Bilt points by transferring them to other programs or booking through their travel portals.
Instead, I prefer buying IHG points during these 100% bonus sales, which allows me to save my more valuable flexible points for other redemptions.
Extra Perks When Using IHG Points
If you hold an IHG credit card, you can get even more value out of your points:
- The IHG Premier Card offers a fourth night free on award stays, effectively reducing the cost of a four-night booking by 25%.
- The discontinued IHG Select Card rebates 10% of your redeemed points into your account.
These perks stack, meaning you can book a four-night stay using 25% fewer points and still get 10% back. That’s a serious discount, making award stays even more attractive.
Final Thoughts
If you’ve been waiting for a good opportunity to buy IHG points, this 100% bonus sale is one of the best deals you’ll find. I’ve taken advantage of this offer in the past and have consistently found solid redemption value.
That said, not all members will see the 100% bonus—some may receive a different offer, so be sure to log in and check your personalized promotion.
