You can usually use as few as 5,000 IHG One Rewards points to book a reservation for a stay using a combination of cash and points; and for a limited time, you can also save 15 percent on Points & Cash reservations on the cash portion at participating hotel and resort properties through Monday, September 7, 2026…
Save 15 Percent on Points & Cash Reservations With IHG One Rewards
…but you must book your reservations by Monday, August 24, 2026.
Booking Points & Cash reservations allows you to redeem IHG One Rewards points for reward nights faster and stay for less money — even if you do not travel often.
You can save 15 percent on the cash portion of your stays by:
- Using this search tool — with Reward Nights selected as your rate preference — to find your reward night destination
- Choosing your hotel or resort property, type of room, and a Points & Cash combination — rates vary per location
- Buying the points you need when booking a reservation with Points & Cash — otherwise, if you are using all points, skip to the next step
- Confirming your reservation
Select Terms and Conditions
You must be logged into your IHG One Rewards membership account at the time you book your reservations to access and receive the discount.
If you are not already a member of the IHG One Rewards membership program, you can join as a member now at no cost.
The cash portion of Points & Cash reservations is charged immediately in United States dollars. Both the points component and the cash component of the reservation are refunded in points only in the event of a cancellation of a reservation.
Other terms and conditions — including those of the IHG One Rewards membership program — apply.
Final Boarding Call
This ongoing offer usually vacillates between a discount of 15 percent and a discount of 25 percent on the cash portion of your Points & Cash stay; and generally lasts between 36 and 132 days.
Take advantage of this promotion only if you prefer to use the Points & Cash option and must stay at a hotel or resort property which participates in the IHG One Rewards membership program through Monday, September 7, 2026.
Although this promotion is a good way to purchase IHG One Rewards points at a good price, the purchase of points is less expensive whenever you can take advantage of receiving a bonus of up to 100 percent on IHG One Rewards points with a minimum purchase of 5,000 IHG One Rewards base points and up to a maximum limit of 200,000 IHG Rewards base points for $2,000.00 — not including the bonus points — which comes out to $0.005 per IHG One Rewards point. You have until the end of the day on Tuesday, September 1, 2026 to take advantage of that offer. After that date, this promotion is likely the least expensive way to purchase points whenever it is in effect.
