An IHG account is required, you can join here for free.
IHG normally sells points directly for 1.15 cents each. You can also transfer points from Chase, but that’s a criminal use of Chase points.
Points are on sale through 9/24 for just 1 cent each and IHG will also double all the points you purchase. To get the lowest rate (.5 cents per point) you’ll need to purchase at least 26K points which will be doubled to 52K points for $260. Of course you’ll also earn points on your credit card which will make the effective rate less than .5 cents per point.
You can purchase 100K points per member per year, so you can get up to 200K points with this promotion which would cost $1,000.
For a limited time only, the Chase IHG Premier card is offering 125,000 points points for spending $3,000 in 3 months. The card comes with an annual certificate good for a free stay in IHG hotels that cost up to 40K points.
Note that IHG points require activity every 12 months, but you can just redeem for a hotel award and then cancel it to extend the expiration for another 12 months!
IHG runs PointBreaks which allows you to book rooms at rotating hotels starting at just 5,000 points per night. That’s just $25 for a room if you buy points at .5 cents each. Those hotels rotate every couple of months.
Plus you don’t pay tax on award nights.
There are also good values to be had at high-end properties in NYC, London, Paris etc. For example an overwater bungalow in Bora Bora can go for as much as $1,000 with tax but costs just 70K points. That’s just $350 at .5 cents per point.
If you have the Chase IHG Premier card you’ll also get every 4th award night for free.
That means 4 nights at a top-tier hotel would cost 210K points, or an average of 52,500 points per night. Those points will cost $262.50 with this promotion.
If you have both the IHG Select card and the IHG Premier card you’ll get every 4th award night free AND a 10% rebate on award nights!

Will points purchased on this promotion count as IHG purchase if we use the IHG credit card? Thanks!
I have the same question.
Same
Nope.
Dan,
For 70k points in Bora Bora Bora you get overwater bungalow or standard room? Also seems like there’s never availability through points
I’ll be in Jerusalem for 2 weeks in January. My wife and I both have the old IHG rewards card. What is the best way to go upon this to get best deal if we’ll be in hotel for 8-10 days? Should we get the new premier IHG card as well? would chase shut us down for having 2 and 1? Also when will the new hotels be ready?
You can have both of the IHG cards. We do. The new one gives you the 4th night free on points.
i’m confused because I have 2 of the old cards.. should I get a 3rd one(new one)
You should.
You can buy 150k points with this promotion, which turns into 300k!
Can I use my chase IHG card to buy points ?
I’m new at this. Can you please post a link to the place on the site to purchase points? I couldn’t find it. Also, how many point per dollar is it for rooms. If the total would normally be $2600 how many points would that be equivalent to. Thanks.
I have the Same question as jack …..ihg has no availability for award nights in ow at all. Ever. What gives? (I’m assuming you didn’t post a nonexistent deal…..)
Correction…..if you search for tonight or tye next few nights you will find a award night or two available for 70k…but that’s about it.so basically you have to literally be willing to book it last minute
What C.C. would be the best to use for that?
