Heads up, IHG loyalists! There's a sweet Cyber Monday deal that you absolutely need to know about if you're planning any hotel stays. Right now, you can snag a whopping 5X bonus points on your IHG stays, but here's the catch: you need to book by December 2, 2025. Travel itself can happen anytime up to December 31, 2025. After that, the bonus drops to a still-decent 3X points for stays through the end of the year.
Why should you care? Well, bonus points mean faster free nights and potentially unlocking those aspirational IHG properties you've been eyeing. This is essentially free money on stays you were already planning to take!
So, if you have any trips on the horizon, even tentative ones, it's worth taking a peek at IHG hotels and locking in those bookings now. Remember, you can often cancel later if plans change, but you can't get the bonus points if you don't book in time!
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.
