Heads up, IHG One Rewards members! Nobody wants their hard-earned points to disappear into thin air, and IHG has a pretty standard expiration policy you need to know about. Basically, your IHG points will expire if you don't have any activity in your account for 12 months. "Activity" means earning or redeeming points. The good news is that keeping your points active is super easy! Even a small purchase through the IHG shopping portal, a night at an IHG hotel, or transferring in some points will reset the clock. So, before you book that next vacation, double-check your IHG account activity to ensure your points are safe. Why does this matter? Well, those IHG points represent real value! They can unlock free nights at fantastic hotels around the globe. Taking a few seconds to keep them alive is totally worth it to avoid that dreaded points expiration surprise!
