Frequently asked questions
How much are IHG One Rewards points worth?
IHG One Rewards points are worth about 0.5 cents each. Most redemptions fall between 0.4 and 0.5 cents per point, and above 0.7 cpp is excellent. A Kimpton Hotel Monaco DC night at 50,000 points against a $350 cash rate hits exactly 0.7 cpp.
What is a good redemption value for IHG points?
Target 0.6 cents per point or better. PointBreaks properties are the standout — 10,000 points against a $100 room is 1.0 cpp, double the baseline. By contrast, InterContinental Hong Kong at 70,000 points against $400 returns 0.57 cpp.
How many IHG points do I need for a free night?
Award nights run from around 10,000 points on a PointBreaks deal or 25,000 at a Holiday Inn Express, up to 70,000 at an InterContinental. IHG prices dynamically, so the points cost tracks the cash rate.
How do I get more than 0.5 cents per IHG point?
Book four nights and the fourth is free, worth a 25% bonus on a four-night stay — the IHG Premier card carries this benefit. Check the PointBreaks list each quarter for hotels at 10,000-15,000 points. Holiday Inn Express properties reliably return solid value, and InterContinental and Kimpton luxury hotels can price better than expected.
