Join IHG One Rewards now and earn 5,000 points as part of our new member promotion!

As reported by Frequent Flyer Bonuses, the IHG One Rewards program has launched a special offer to help newcomers earn free nights more quickly. New members can get 5,000 bonus points by completing just one stay. Here are the full details:

• To benefit from this offer, register for an IHG One Rewards account via the "Stay and Get 5k Points" offer page by September 13.
• Next, you need to book and finish a qualifying stay within 21 days of your registration date. Make sure to enter your new IHG One Rewards membership number when booking.
• Your stay must be booked directly through the IHG website, app, or reservation call center. Some authorized travel agents may also book it for you, but online agencies like Expedia and Booking.com do not qualify. The total spend must exceed $30 per night (before taxes and fees).
• While most IHG properties are eligible for this promotion, certain Six Senses locations and some Iberostar Beachfront Resorts that aren't yet part of IHG One Rewards are excluded.
• Along with the standard IHG One Rewards points earned for your stay, you’ll receive 5,000 bonus points, which will be credited to your account within six weeks.

As of June 2024, TPG values IHG points at 0.5 cents each, making this bonus roughly equivalent to $25 towards future stays. Please note that these bonus points do not contribute to elite status qualification.

If you haven't signed up for IHG One Rewards yet, now is the perfect time! IHG boasts a portfolio of over 6,000 properties across 19 brands, from extended-stay options like Staybridge Suites and Candlewood Suites to luxurious hotels such as Regent and InterContinental.

Before finalizing your IHG reservation (or any hotel booking), make sure to visit the hotel’s offers page to discover current promotions. These deals can help you earn additional points, but you typically need to register for them before booking a qualifying stay.

If your stay qualifies for several promotions, you can often combine them. For example, IHG is currently providing 2,000 bonus points for every two nights you stay. So, if you registered for an account before September 13 and booked a two-night stay within three weeks of registration, you could benefit from both promotions and earn a total of 7,000 bonus points.

With this new member bonus, it's an excellent time to think about joining IHG One Rewards. If you want to keep boosting your IHG points, explore the current welcome bonuses available on IHG's cobranded credit cards or discover the various ways to earn IHG points.
