Heads up, IHG fans! If you're planning a hotel stay and were thinking of paying with cash, now's the time to book. IHG (that's the InterContinental Hotels Group, with brands like Holiday Inn, Crowne Plaza, and Kimpton) is running a winter sale with discounts up to 20% off. This is a sweet deal if you've got upcoming travel plans and want to save some dough on your accommodation.
This matters because, let's be honest, hotel costs can really add up. A 20% discount can make a significant difference, especially if you're booking a longer stay or a more luxurious property. Plus, sometimes paying cash and stacking discounts can be a better value than redeeming points, depending on the specific hotel and dates. Just be sure to book soon, as these deals don't last forever!
Why This Matters for Your Strategy
News in the points-and-miles world moves fast, and promotional changes often have a short window. If this announcement affects a card or program you hold, log into your awardtrail dashboard to check your current benefit usage, bonus progress, and whether a transfer or redemption makes sense right now — before terms change.
As a general rule: transfer points only when you have a specific redemption in mind — transfers are almost always one-way and non-reversible. If you're unsure of the value, check our redemption guides before acting.
