Why This Deal Works
Buying points can be a smart strategy when:
- You need to top up your balance to reach an award night threshold.
- Cash rates are high — especially during peak travel periods — and using points yields better value.
- You want flexibility: IHG points work across many brands and regions.
- You can lock in points now before future rate increases.
With the 100% bonus, the effective cost per point can be very competitive compared to typical points acquisition costs.
Best Use Cases
- Redemption at high-value hotels where cash rates are expensive.
- Points-heavy stays (luxury or peak season travel).
- When you need only a small boost to reach your redemption target.
- Long-term planning for future travel.
Because there’s a chance to purchase up to 200,000 points pre-bonus, many travelers use this to stack certificates or split purchases between accounts for gifting.

Offer Terms
1. Offer Period and Bonus Structure
This Offer is available for qualifying purchases of IHG One Rewards points made between 12:00 AM ET on January 15, 2026 and 11:59 PM ET on February 5, 2026 (“Offer Period”). Members will receive a bonus of 100% of the points purchased when they purchase a minimum 5,000 points purchase threshold on a per transaction basis.
2. Eligibility and Bonus Display
There is a minimum points purchase threshold on a per transaction basis to be eligible for a bonus. The percentage bonus amount will show for eligible members when they log into their IHG One Rewards account. (Please click through to access the landing page for the Offer.)
3. Annual Purchase Limits and Examples
The number of points a member may purchase, gift, or receive as a gift during the Offer Period is subject to annual limits under the IHG One Rewards Membership Terms and Conditions, which are available on www.ihg.com. Members may purchase a maximum of up to 200,000 points during a calendar year, so the number of points a member can purchase during the Offer Period will depend on how many points the member had already purchased during the same calendar year.
For example, if a member had previously purchased 50,000 points in 2026, then the member could only purchase up to a maximum of 150,000 points during the Offer Period and would be eligible to receive the applicable percentage of additional bonus points under this Offer based only on the amount of points purchased during the Offer Period.
4. Gifting and Receiving Points Limits
Similar limits apply to gifting points and receiving points as a gift: members may gift up to a maximum of 200,000 points, or receive as gifts from other members a combined maximum of up to 200,000 points, during the Offer Period, subject to reduction by the number of points that have been already gifted, or received as a gift, in the same calendar year.
If a member purchases points that exceed the 200,000 points threshold for 2026 then they cannot purchase points for the remainder of the calendar year.
5. Additional Terms and Conditions
Purchased points, as well as any bonus points awarded under this Offer, do not count towards IHG One Rewards Elite status. This is an exclusive, non-transferable offer for intended recipients only and may not be forwarded. Offer is subject to change and cannot be combined with any other offer. Price includes all fees but subject to applicable taxes.
Purchased points are not refundable and are applicable toward all IHG One Rewards redemptions. Please allow up to 72 hours for points to post and appear in the recipient’s account. All other IHG One Rewards Membership Terms and Conditions apply.
