Get 5,000 bonus IHG One Rewards points for every two qualifying nights at selected brands in the US and UK through 31 December 2026. You’ll need to register, and the eligible brands aren’t the same in both countries.
I’d register before your next eligible stay, even if you only have one night booked. The two nights don’t have to be consecutive or in the same stay.
Which hotels qualify?
- United States: Kimpton, InterContinental, Vignette Collection, Hotel Indigo and EVEN Hotels.
- United Kingdom: Crowne Plaza, InterContinental, Hotel Indigo and Vignette Collection.
That means a UK Crowne Plaza stay can count, but a US Crowne Plaza stay doesn’t qualify for this particular offer. Holiday Inn and Holiday Inn Express aren’t included in either country.
Register on IHG’s offer page before staying. Registration closes on 31 December 2026; stays completed before registration don’t count.
How the bonus works
Eligible nights must fall between 9 November and 31 December 2026. You can combine them across stays: two qualifying nights earn 5,000 bonus points, four earn 10,000 and six earn 15,000. The published terms don’t specify an earning cap.
The important restrictions are:
- Each night must be on a qualifying rate, with total spend exceeding US$30 or the local equivalent per night.
- Reward Nights and Points + Cash stays don’t qualify.
- Bookings through online travel agencies such as Booking.com and Expedia are excluded. I’d book directly with IHG.
- Only one room per member per night counts, even if you book several rooms.
- Allow up to six weeks for the bonus to post. These bonus points aren’t elite-status qualifying.
My take
This is a useful extra for a trip you’re already planning, especially because separate one-night stays can count towards the same bonus. I’d check the brand list before choosing a hotel and compare the total cash price—not pay substantially more just to collect the points.
