IHG One Rewards has just launched its newest global promotion, which is valid for stays this spring. While registration opened a couple of weeks back, the offer is valid for stays as of today. Let’s go over the details of this offer, and be sure you register if you may be making some IHG stays during the offer period.

IHG One Rewards spring 2024 promotion
IHG One Rewards’ upcoming global promotion is pretty straightforward, but not very rewarding. With this offer, you can earn 2,000 IHG bonus points after every two nights that you stay.
As you’d expect, there are some details to be aware of:
- The promotion is valid for stays between April 1 and May 31, 2024
- There is no booking deadline, so nights consumed anytime during the promotion period are eligible, as long as you register in time
- All paid nights booked directly with IHG qualify for this promotion, as long as the nightly rate is at least $30 (award nights don’t qualify)
- The bonus can be earned an unlimited number of times, with the limit being how many nights you can stay during the promotion period
- Bonus points will post up to six weeks after an eligible stay
How lucrative is this IHG One Rewards promo?
IHG One Rewards members ordinarily earn the following return on spending at IHG properties:
- IHG offers 10x points per dollar spent at most brands, and 5x points per dollar spent at Candlewood Suites and Staybridge Suites
- IHG members receive bonus points — Silver members receive a 20% bonus, Gold members receive a 40% bonus, Platinum members receive a 60% bonus, and Diamond members receive a 100% bonus
- If you pay with the IHG One Rewards Premier Credit Card (review) or IHG One Rewards Premier Business Credit Card (review), you earn 10x IHG bonus points per dollar spent
Personally I value IHG points at ~0.5 cents each. That makes this promotion pretty straightforward — in increments of two nights, you’re earning 1,000 bonus points per night, which I value at an incremental $5 return per night.
That’s better than nothing, but that’s about all I can say. I can’t imagine anyone will be switching around stays in order to take advantage of this promotion.
Bottom line
IHG One Rewards’ spring 2024 promotion is valid for stays as of today, and offers 2,000 bonus points after every two nights you stay between April 1 and May 31, 2024. This earns you up to 1,000 bonus points per night, and based on my valuation of IHG points, that’s like an incremental return of ~$5 per night. That’s not exactly a reason to switch any stays to IHG…
What do you make of IHG One Rewards’ global promotions?
IHG One
Needs to offer lifetime like Marriott Bonvoy and Hilton
give reason to work towards and even just create lifetime (diamond?) status: IHG needs to offer GUARANTEED late 3pm checkout for Diamond (and waive amenity fee) and 2pm for Plat elites.
Of course it's a weak AF promo. But nonetheless registered today before I forget
