Heads up, IHG One Rewards members! IHG's brought back their Points & Cash promotion, and it's a sneaky good way to snag some points on the cheap. Basically, when you book a stay using a mix of points and cash, you'll get a 15% discount on the cash part.
Now, here's the clever bit: this effectively lets you "buy" IHG points for as low as 0.51 cents each. If you've been eyeing a pricey hotel redemption or just want to top up your account, this is a smart move. This rate can even go lower if you hold an IHG credit card. The deal runs until October 23rd, so don't sleep on it if you want to boost your IHG balance!
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.
