Current IHG One Rewards bonus points promotion
If you plan to stay at IHG hotels before the end of the year, you’ll be happy to know that IHG One Rewards is currently offering a lucrative bonus points promotion.
With this promotion, IHG members can earn 2,000 points for every two nights of eligible paid stays completed between Oct. 12 and Dec. 31. Plus, IHG is automatically enrolling members who register and have an eligible IHG credit card in an extra promotional offer for an additional 2,000 bonus points for every two nights.
You must register for this promotion before checking out from your first stay; here’s what you need to know.

Promotion details
This IHG One Rewards promotion is relatively straightforward: all registered members can earn 2,000 bonus points for every two eligible nights between Oct. 12 and Dec. 31.
Once you register, you’ll get a confirmation email entitled “You are now registered for 2,000 bonus points every 2 nights.”
Plus, cardholders of select IHG credit cards — including the IHG One Rewards Premier Credit Card, IHG One Rewards Traveler Credit Card, IHG One Rewards Premier Business Credit Card and IHG One Rewards Select credit card — will be automatically enrolled in an extra promotion to earn an additional 2,000 bonus points for every two eligible nights stayed.
You’ll get an email titled “Surprise: You’ll be earning even more on stays” after you enroll in the promotion if you are eligible for the additional bonus points.
The nights do not have to be part of the same stay to count. Pre-registration for this promotion opened on Sept. 27, so you may have already registered. But you must register for this promotion before checking out from your first eligible stay. I recommend ensuring you are registered now so you don’t forget; here’s the link to register.

You might wonder which stays with IHG are eligible. The terms and conditions for this promotion define an eligible stay as “one (1) night stay at a participating hotel booked under a Qualifying Rate, with total spend exceeding US $30 (or local currency equivalent) for each night.”
However, if you redeem IHG points, use an IHG anniversary night or book a points and cash stay, you won’t benefit from this promotion. The promotion’s terms and conditions also note that bookings “made through on-line travel agencies or other reservation sites such as booking.com or expedia.com also do not qualify under this Promotion.” And if you book more than one room on the same night, you’ll only receive bonus points for one room.

Bottom line
IHG’s newest promotion allows you to earn up to 4,000 points for every two nights you stay between Oct. 12 and Dec. 31. Combining this promotion with bonuses from elite status and an IHG credit card is a great way to earn IHG points on paid stays. IHG members earn 10 base points per dollar spent at most IHG brands, and IHG elite members get bonus points based on their status tier.
I recommend registering now, even if you don’t have any upcoming IHG stays planned.
