IHG launched its annual Cyber Sale last week with up to 25% off rates. Now they’re adding a points multiplier that’s only available if you book during a specific two-day window.
You must register for the offer first.
The Offer
Book any qualifying IHG stay between December 1-2, 2025 and earn 5x total points on stays completed by December 31, 2025.
- Booking Window: December 1-2, 2025 only
- Stay Period: December 1-31, 2025
- Points Structure: 5x base points (includes the 1x base + 4x bonus)
- Eligible Brands: All IHG brands
- Registration: Required (register here)
- Point Cap: Unlimited
- Minimum Spend: $30 per night (or local currency equivalent)
Good to Know
- If you’re already registered for IHG’s ongoing 3x promotion, you’re automatically enrolled for this 5x upgrade—but only for bookings made December 1-2
- Stays booked before December 1 or after December 2 revert to the standard 3x earning rate
- This stacks with elite bonuses and credit card earnings
- The bonus is calculated on base points only; elite and card bonuses are added separately
- Must book directly with IHG—OTA bookings (Expedia, Booking.com, etc.) don’t qualify
- Paid stays only—Reward Nights and Points & Cash bookings are excluded
- If you book multiple rooms, only one room per night counts toward the promotion
- All qualifying rates are eligible (Best Flexible, Advanced Purchase, corporate rates)
You’ll need to complete your stays by December 31, 2025—no extensions into January.
The Verdict
This is straightforward value math. If you have December IHG stays planned, during this window nets you 4x additional points at no extra cost. The unlimited earning cap means expensive holiday stays could generate substantial point hauls.
The direct booking requirement means you’ll need to skip OTAs and third-party sites—but that’s standard for IHG promotions and ensures you earn full elite benefits anyway.
Bottom Line
If you have IHG stays planned for December, mark your calendar for December 1-2. The 48-hour booking window is tight, but the 4x multiplier applies to the entire month of stays with no earning limit. Just remember: book direct, stay before year-end, and ensure each night exceeds $30.
