Back in June, we launched an EXCLUSIVE exciting new promotion with IHG Rewards Club.

Head for Points readers will receive DOUBLE IHG Rewards Club base points when they book their stays on ihg.com via the link on this page.

The offer has been very well received, and over 99% of completed bookings have tracked correctly and received their double points automatically.  I thought it was worth a reminder of the deal, and to introduce it to new readers for the first time.

This offer is, to be honest, quite a coup for a little site like this one – albeit a little site with 1 million page views per month.  It is testament to the strong relationship that HfP has built up with IHG and its readership over the last four years.

You will receive an additional 10 IHG Rewards Club base points for every $1 you spend at an InterContinental, Hotel Indigo, Crowne Plaza, Holiday Inn, Holiday Inn Express, EVEN or Hualuxe hotel. You will receive an additional 5 points at Staybridge Suites and Candlewood Suites.

The great thing is that this offer will double up with any other IHG Rewards Club promotion, such as the current Accelerate offer. Accelerate is already, for most people, the most generous hotel offer on the market this Summer and this exclusive Head for Points deal makes it even more generous.

How do I earn my double IHG Rewards Club base points?

It is very easy. All you need to do in ensure that you book your future IHG stays via the link on this page of Head for Points.

You may want to bookmark this page for future use. When you click through you will be taken to a special Head for Points landing page on ihg.com.

Please note this very important rule – you MUST click through from the link on this page of HfP to ihg.com. Do NOT bookmark the ihg.com page. IHG will not award double points if they do not see that you clicked through directly from Head for Points.

This is how the promotion will work:

You must click through from this page on Head for Points to the special HfP landing page on ihg.com to make your booking. IHG will NOT award double base points if the original click did not originate at HfP or if the booking was not made via the special HfP landing page.

Rooms booked under a negotiated corporate rate deal will not qualify for double points.

IHG will add the double base points as an account adjustment within 28 days of your stay. They will NOT appear at the same time as the standard points from your stay.

The bonus base points only apply to your accommodation and not to incidental spend such as food and beverage.

The bonus base points will not count for elite qualifying purposes.

You will only receive double base points on one room per booking.  Bear this in mind if you are booking two or more rooms on the same confirmation number.

The bonus base points will be based on the standard earning rate of 5 or 10 points per $1. Any elite status bonus will not be doubled.

This offer may be withdrawn by IHG Rewards Club at any time. However, bonus points on existing bookings will be honoured.

The decision of IHG over whether or not to award double base points on any particular booking is final.

I am very grateful to IHG Rewards Club for choosing to make this exclusive offer available to Head for Points readers.
