Maximise your Avios, air miles and hotel points
Ok, that’s a 1st. Booked P+C rate last week for June, sweet spot was effectively buying 50K points for $280 USD, paid on my Wise debit. Hold has been sitting on the money since then.
Just got notification that the $280 wasn’t taken by IHG and has been returned to me. Res is confirmed, so what happens… do I get a very cheap stay?
$245/night for 15k… I’m not complaining. Nearly as good as the 5 nights free at IC Baku last year when they refunded the points twice after I rebooked my stay at a lower rate
There can be a few days’ delay in payment being taken on P + C stays however I’ve never known the cash to be refunded. They might charge your card again in due course.
Was that cheaper than the current 100% bonus, my brain’s not working yet?!

50k points would’ve cost $250, so not cheaper than current sale.
