Maximise your Avios, air miles and hotel points

LAST DAY: Get a 100% bonus when you buy IHG One Rewards hotel points

IHG One Rewards has been running (another) 100% bonus for buying points.

This offer ends tonight, 28th August.

The maximum number of points you can buy is 600,000 (ie 300,000 plus the 300,000 bonus) although this can vary.  The minimum purchase to trigger the bonus is 5,000 points on my account but, again, this could vary.

100% bonus buying ihg one rewards points

The page to buy points is here.

With a 100% bonus, you would be able to buy up to 600,000 IHG One Rewards points for (at current exchange rates for $3,000) £2,225.

I usually value IHG One Rewards points at 0.4p.  You are paying 0.37p here so you shouldn’t lose money, although it is not necessarily a slam dunk unless you are just topping up your account before redeeming.

The skill is to use them at hotels where you can get substantially more than 0.4p per point of value, although this got a little harder since IHG reward prices started getting more closely related to cash rates.

You can buy points via this link. You have until TONIGHT (Thursday) to jump in.

Our full review of IHG One Rewards is here if you want to know more about how it works.

    A “slam dunk”? I had to look up this term. It is US English referring to an easy goal in basketball.

    Is it just HfP or are London and the rest of the UK’s versions of English diverging?

    4 comments on the use of 2 words but none on the promo!

    But yes “slam dunk” is in common usage here especially in sports where it has extended from the basketball origins.

    I’ll bring it back on topic and say it’s a good offer (probably repeated in a couple of months) but I won’t be buying at this time.

    Points bookings have the advantage that they are cancelable so it’s possible to cancel and rebook should rates go down which isn’t possible for the cheapest cash rates.
