How Many IHG One Rewards Points Do I Need for a Free Night?

Instead of fixed-point categories, the point cost for a Reward Night at IHG hotels fluctuates in much the same way cash prices do.

• Factors that influence price: The points required can vary based on the hotel's brand, location, time of year, day of the week, and real-time demand.

• Finding the best value: Because pricing is dynamic, you can often find stronger point value during off-peak seasons or by staying flexible with your travel dates.

The most reliable way to see how many points you need is to search directly on IHG.com or in the IHG One Rewards app, since point costs are not published in advance.

1. Start your search. Go to the IHG.com homepage and enter your destination and dates.

2. Select "Reward Nights." Before searching, choose the "Reward Nights" option from the "Rate Preference" dropdown on the website, or the equivalent option in the app.

3. View your results. The search results will display available hotels along with the number of points required per night for your selected dates.

4. Consider the Points & Cash option. If you'd rather not use points for the full stay, IHG One Rewards Points & Cash lets you combine a smaller number of points with a cash payment to book the same Reward Night.

Reward Night point prices can change based on the hotel, dates, room type, and demand. If your preferred stay requires more points than expected, compare nearby dates, room types, or nearby hotels.

For questions about the point cost for a specific hotel or date, search directly on IHG.com or the IHG One Rewards app. For questions about your points balance or a completed booking, contact IHG Customer Care. General redemption questions are also covered in the IHG Customer Care FAQ.
