Points award redemption

1.Point Breaks

Intercontinental quarterly cities launch PB promotion, which is 5000 points for the basic room, and the sales promotion will be followed. Can only book 2 times, 2 nights each time.

2. Standard points for room redemption

In addition to the PB big promotion, there is also the use of points to generally redeem the points room. A minimum of 10,000 points can be redeemed for a maximum of 60,000 points. If insufficient points, Cash + Points can be a selection.

You can go to hold some rooms first, so as not to have no room at the time.

5. Hotel activities

Hotels in different countries have special hotel offers.

We know that the terms of the intercontinental frequent flyer program regarding the expiration of points are: if there are no changes to the points over 12 months, all the points in the account will expire. Here are a few of the simplest ways to ensure the validity of the points, and the points never expire.

1. Stay in Intercontinental chain hotels

Stay in the lowest grade brand in the Intercontinental Group for 12 months, such as Holiday Inn Express, especially when staying at IHG, and receive additional points.

2. Use points to redeem room

You can use 10,000 points to change a minimum grade redemption room within 12 months and then cancel your reservation before the date you want to check in. However, if the IHG group wants to review it, it is easy to seal the number.

3. Online shopping

IHG also has a point mall, you can redeem some items with points.

4. Redeem digital awards

It is very similar to the point mall, but the required points can be the least.

5. Points pruchase

If you need it, you can take advantage of the sales promotion.

6. Redeem gift card

Similar to online shopping, just replace the goods with gift cards for retail stores and restaurants. IHG pages in different countries should be able to see different businesses, and there are still many choices. However, the price/performance ratio must not be cost-effective.

7. Charitable donations

If the point donation is converted into money, it is really not much. But if you want to show your love and want to let the points expire, this is also a good choice. The minimum point donation is 2,500 points.

8. Redeem flight miles

You can use IHG points to redeem miles for cooperative airlines.

9. Booking by partner

For example, when you rent a car in Hertz, you can get the IHG membership number, you can get up to 35% discount, and you can get additional points.

10. Points transfer

If you have to transfer points, you will need to charge 5 US dollars for every 1000 points.

In general, we have to go through two ways to get IHG points: points earned by the hotel’s paid residence and points earned by non-paid residences.

Earn points for paid residence:

Earn 10 points for every $1 spent (5 points for every $1 spent in a suite hotel)
Different membership levels receive different bonus points
Registration priority event
Points award package purchase

Earn points for non-paid residences:

Point purchase promotion
Cash + Points + Cancel
IHG Rewards Club Premier Credit Card

It should be noted:

1. Elite membership qualification points, after accumulating the points of this example, we can upgrade the Priority Club Rewards membership level;

2. Non-elite membership qualification points can only be used for consumption, and will not affect the membership level;

3. The use of accumulated points does not affect your grade;

4. In general, the membership points are in a slow depreciation for a long-term, so do not advocate the points, you can use them if you need them.

Hotel consumption points system (elite membership qualification points)
The most basic point accumulating method is that the hotel is probably consumed at the hotel. On the basis of the 9 brands, it can earn 10 points for every dollar spent, and in the “suite” category, you can get 5 points for 1 dollar. .

Member bonus points (non-elite membership qualification points)
Starting from Gold Elite, you can earn extra points for each stay. Gold Elite can get 10% extra points, Platinum Elite can get 50% extra points, and Spire Elite can get 100% extra points.

Event promotion (non-elite membership qualification points)
Every quarter of the Intercontinental City launches a more important and unrestricted activity, and you can get extra points for extra points in the basics of useful stays.

Points Award Package Purchase (Elite Membership Qualification Points)
You can earn extra points for extra points at the base of the optimal flexible rate. In general, the package is to spend an extra 1000 points per night, but occasionally you can meet 5000 points for a useful stay.

Points Purchase (non-elite membership qualification points)
Usually you can purchase points indirectly on the official website, sometimes there will be promotions, give extra points.

Cash + Points + Cancel (non-elite membership qualification points)
When you change points with points, you can pick the form of cash+points. When you book in the form of Cash + Points, the bank will deduct the cash consumption portion, but when you want to cancel the reservation, the hotel will refund you the full points.

IHG members are divided into two categories, one is only under the Intercontinental brand, the Intercontinental Ambassador program, and the other is the IHG Rewards Club, which is suitable for intercontinental brands. Brands also have a role, but Intercontinental mainly recognizes the ambassador program.

IHG Rewards Club

IHG Rewards Club membership and its benefits are provided by InterContinental Hotels Group subsidiaries and affiliates, which are divided into four levels: Club, Gold Elite, Platinum Elite, and Spire Elite. The requirements and benefits are shown in the table below.

Intercontinental Ambassador

The Intercontinental Ambassadors Program is a separate membership system for the highest-end brand of Intercontinental Hotels & Resorts, which complements the IHG Rewards Club program to form two membership levels: Ambassador and Royal Ambassador.

Free room mini bar drinks
“Intercontinental Ambassadors are not eligible for room upgrades when staying at the hotel, staying free to watch a pay TV movie per stay, 24-hour room guarantee, check-in time until 8am, and free minibar drinks, etc. The courtesy, but all the intercontinental ambassadors and the Intercontinental Royal Ambassador’s privileges are valid. (if you use the points for the accommodation does not give you the above treatment, do not give you an upgrade, it is in line with the regulations.)
Another 5,000 IHG Rewards Club Gift Certificate
Another free weekend stay coupon
Upgrade and qualified requirements

Officially, it needs to be invited, so there is no clear request. However, according to the current standard, at least 75 nights, and 30 of them are three different intercontinental records. It seems that I can still recommend the members who are currently the Royal Ambassador, but it is no longer possible, and there is no other way to buy this membership level.
