Reply To: Calculating value – IHG points redemptions

[Aston100]

Might depend how many points you’ve got in your IHG account and how you earnt them.
Me personally, I value IHG points at 0.004ppp (same as many other people).
So for me, a points price of 35k points is ‘costing me’ £140 worth of points. Given the cash price is £240, you are getting 0.0068ppp value which IMO is very good.
There is no way I would do option 2 where £134 of real money is needed in lieu of points.
I can use that £134 for other stuff, whereas my reasonable stash of IHG points isn’t really much use outside of IHG redemptions.

Your circumstances may differ.
