IHG points expiry

[Chris_Bell]

Hi,

I am currently Platinum Elite in the IHG Rewards programme. However, I have not accumulated any stays this year and I am unlikely to, which means that I will lose my status at the end of this year.

Currently, this protects my points from expiry (I was Gold Elite before).

Will my points expire with my status on 1/1/2024 (if I do not do something to extend them) or is there a grace period (e.g. 12 months from when your status gets downgraded)?

Thanks.

Kind regards,
Chris

Let me google that for you…

Or this from IHG…

Doesn’t IHG have a soft landing to the tier below? i.e. at the end of 2023 you will drop back to Gold Elite and keep all your points?

You can spend 200 points or so on an ebook I think and it will reset expiry anyway.
