IHG Rewards’ last chain-wide promotion ended in March 2021 and it took awhile for IHG to announce its next promotion. However, members have been receiving emails targeting them for specific, individualized promotions. Check here to be reminded of April’s version, which certainly wasn’t enough to tempt me back to IHG.

Over the weekend, a family member received her own personalized promotion. It’s pretty simple. All she has to do is stay one night before July 29th, 2021 to earn 5,000 bonus points. As it common with IHG promotions, only paid nights qualify – and the room rate must be $30 or higher…

With the radical changes to IHG’s reward pricing – click here for details – I’m not quite sure what an IHG point is worth any more. But I would normally suggest that 5,000 points is worth $25.

There won’t be very many $30 IHG hotels near most of you (and us).  But if there were… a $25 rebate on a $30 hotel night would be pretty impressive. Unfortunately this promotion won’t really stack with IHG’s chain-wide promotion, since the first stay wouldn’t receive a bonus. (although these 5,000 points would certainly make up for it)

It is worth mentioning that this is an account that hasn’t been used in awhile. So if you are an active IHG member you are probably less likely to have received this email. Nonetheless, it does appear as if IHG are sending emails to members with individual promotions – so make sure you also double check your e-mail permissions and spam folders…
