IHG fans, listen up! IHG is rolling out a new promotion for the first quarter of 2026 (January 1 to March 31). You can earn double points starting with your second stay during that period. Make sure you register for the promo by March 31, 2026 to be eligible.
Now, I know what you're thinking: 2026? That's ages away! But, it's worth a quick sign-up now so you don't forget about it later. It's basically free points if you already stay at IHG hotels.
While it's not the most exciting promo ever, double points can definitely add up. Plus, the best part is this stacks with other IHG deals, so you can really maximize your rewards. If you're planning any IHG stays in early 2026, this is a no-brainer!
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.
