Discount of 20% on IHG Rewards stays using Points & Cash this Autumn (for selected users)
Headline: IHG Offers 20% Discount on Cash Portion of Points & Cash Bookings Through August 21
The InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG) has announced a targeted promotion offering a 20% discount on the cash portion of Points & Cash bookings made by August 21, 2023. This offer is valid for stays through September 26, 2025 [1][2].
In the unique Points & Cash system, the total all-points rate for a night is divided into a half-points-half-cash rate. With this promotion, the cash rate for the reservation is reduced by 20%, effectively lowering the price you pay for purchasing points through these bookings. This means members can buy points at roughly 0.49 cents each, which is slightly better than IHG's average valuation of 0.5 cents per point [1].
When booking a Points & Cash reservation during this promotion window, the cash discount is applied immediately, reducing your out-of-pocket cash expense. However, if you cancel the reservation, both the points and the cash portion are refunded as points only, not cash [2].
To take advantage of this offer, you must be one of the targeted members with the promotion visible in your IHG One Rewards account. You can find the promotion by logging into your account online and navigating to the promotion page directly, or by going to the offers tab within your account. Once found, book Points & Cash stays through an official IHG site while logged in, and complete your booking by August 21. The stays must occur by September 26, 2025 (for current cycles).
It's always recommended to compare the all-cash rate with the Points & Cash option for any stays to ensure you're getting the best value. This offer may primarily benefit those who are short on points.
