If you have IHG stays coming up and prefer earning United miles, IHG is running a triple-miles promo through September 30, 2026. One important catch: you earn United miles instead of IHG points, so it is a swap, not a bonus layered on top.
The offer:
- 3x United miles at most IHG brands, which works out to 6 miles per dollar (normally 2).
- Candlewood Suites and Staybridge Suites earn 3 miles per dollar (normally 1).
- Valid on stays from July 8 through September 30, 2026.
How to get it:
- Register once at IHG's promo page.
- In your IHG One Rewards profile, set your earning preference to United MileagePlus before check-in.
- Book direct through IHG. Reward nights, Points and Cash, and OTA bookings (Expedia, Booking) do not qualify.
Worth it?
- Choose this only if United miles are more valuable to your goals than IHG points, since you give up all IHG earning on these stays.
- United miles shine as a top-off currency for Star Alliance business class: ANA, EVA, Lufthansa, Turkish, Air Canada.
- If you are chasing IHG elite status or Free Night certificates, stick with IHG points and skip the swap.
