IHG One Rewards: 100% Bonus on Points Purchases, Ends August 17
Need a few thousand IHG points to lock in a Reward Night? A 100% purchase bonus runs through August 17, 2026, which cuts the per-point cost in half. Only buy if you have a specific stay in mind and the award space already confirmed.
Buying IHG points speculatively is how balances quietly go stale on a fully dynamic program. But if you're a few thousand points short of a stay you've already priced out, this sale removes the math problem.
What qualifies:
- Bonus: 100% on all purchased points (offers may vary by account, log in to verify yours)
- Purchase window: ends August 17, 2026
- Annual cap: 200,000 points per calendar year (IHG's standing purchase limit)
- Posting timeline: verify at checkout via Points.com
- Refundability: non-refundable
Two angles worth running the numbers on. If you hold the IHG One Rewards Premier card, every 4th consecutive Reward Night costs zero points, so a modest top-off toward that threshold can pay off fast. The Premier card's 40,000-point Anniversary Free Night certificate can also be padded with points from your balance to reach InterContinental properties priced at 60,000 to 80,000 points, and the 100% bonus makes those extra points cheaper to acquire. Skip this entirely if you're building a balance on spec or chasing elite status. Purchased points don't count toward qualifying nights or status thresholds.
