IHG is giving business owners and event planners a sweet deal! Through August 31, 2026, you can earn double points on hotel stays, meeting room bookings, and events booked through IHG Business Rewards. This is a great way to maximize your return if you're already planning these types of expenses.
But wait, there's more! You'll also snag 2 bonus Elite Night Credits for every $3,000 you spend. Elite Night Credits are what count towards earning IHG elite status, which unlocks perks like free breakfast, room upgrades, and late check-out. This promotion essentially gets you closer to elite status faster, which can significantly enhance your travel experience (and save you money) in the long run. If you regularly book travel or events for your business, definitely register for this one!
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.
