How are hotels’ point amounts determined?
The amount of points that IHG® One Rewards members must redeem for a Reward Night at a given hotel flexes up and down just like cash rates. These fluctuations are based on a variety of factors including, but not limited to, Best Flexible Rate, demand, brand, location and day of the week.
How often can a hotel's point amount change?
Point amounts by hotel can vary daily just like cash rates. For a multi-night stay, you will see an average point amount and daily point amounts just like cash bookings.
Once a member books a Reward Night could the point requirement ever change?
Once a booking is made, that member will lock in the required point amount. While the hotel's point requirement could go up or down post booking, this will not affect the member's original booking.
How far in advance can you see the point pricing for hotels?
You can search and book all hotel rates up to 50 weeks in advance, including rates for Reward Nights.
If a guest books a Reward Night and then the point amount decreases, can the guest recoup the difference?
The only way to get a lower point rate that appears after you have already booked a Reward Night is to cancel your existing booking and try to rebook it at the new point amount. Reward Nights are subject to availability, though, so a Reward Night rate could become unavailable before you are able to rebook a canceled reservation.
How do variable Reward Night point amounts impact the IHG One Rewards Credit Card “Redeem 3 Nights, Get the 4th Night Free” benefit?
Premier, Traveler and Business Premier U.S. Chase Credit Cardmembers can redeem the 4th night free for any stay of 4 or more consecutive nights regardless of the 4th night’s point amount.
Which hotels can IHG One Rewards Credit Cardmembers book using their Anniversary Free Night benefit?
Because the Reward Night point prices are variable, the hotels at which a member can use an Anniversary Free Night, which is valid for Reward Nights priced at 40,000 points or less, will likely depend on the member’s desired booking dates. For a list of hotels that may not be available please visit our Anniversary Night page.
IHG One Rewards Premier and Business Premier Credit Cardmembers also have the option of adding points from their IHG One Rewards account to redeem at hotels whose redemption value is higher than 40,000 points.
Will I earn points or miles on Reward Nights?
When staying on a Reward Night, you will not earn points or miles on the room rate or room rate equivalent; however, you may earn points or miles for all other Eligible Charges. “Eligible Charges” can include food and beverage, telephone, laundry, and in-room movies charged to a member's room. Eligible Charges can vary by hotel brand and location.
Who is eligible for Reward Night discounts?
Eligible Platinum Elite, Diamond Elite and IHG One Rewards credit cardholders may receive exclusive access to select discounts on Reward Nights at participating hotels. Eligible cardmembers will have early access to Reward Night discounts.
Can I use a combination of points and cash on a Reward Night reservation?
The IHG One Rewards Points & Cash function enables you to redeem a combination of your existing points and points purchased at the time of booking, to book a Reward Night.
Points & Cash Reward Nights may be redeemed on the IHG One Rewards website, the IHG One Rewards App, or by calling IHG Reservations.
If I cancel a Reward Night reservation that was made through the Points & Cash program, can I get a refund?
If a Reward Night booked using the Points & Cash function is cancelled in accordance with Reward Night terms and conditions and within the hotel's cancellation policy, all points, including the points purchased at the time of booking, will be redeposited into your IHG One Rewards account. The cost for the points purchased is non-refundable.
How late can I cancel a Reward Night reservation?
Most Reward Night reservations will allow you to cancel a day before your check-in date. Individual hotels may have unique cancellation policies, though, so you should always check your individual rate details for more information.
How soon will I get my points back if I cancel a Reward Night reservation?
If you cancel your Reward Night reservation in accordance with Reward Night terms and conditions and within the hotel's cancellation policy, the points will be immediately redeposited in your IHG One Rewards account.
What will happen to my points if I cancel beyond the cancellation date?
If you cancel your Reward Night reservation after the time permitted by the hotel's cancellation policy, the points will still be redeposited in your IHG One Rewards account but the hotel will charge the credit card used to make the reservation, in the amount of the hotel’s cancellation fee.
Do I need to make a reservation to redeem a Reward Night?
Reward Nights require a reservation. Please select Reward Nights as your rate preference when booking through the IHG website or through the IHG One Rewards App.
How soon can I book a Reward Nights reservation?
While we encourage members to book Reward Night reservations in advance, most can be booked as late as the check-in date, as long as Reward Night rates are still available at your preferred hotel.
What type of room can I book under Reward Nights?
Reward Night reservations apply to standard rooms only as defined by each participating property.
How many rooms can I book under Reward Nights?
When redeeming points for a Reward Night, you may only book one room at a time. Continue to complete your reservation with one room. Once you complete your Reward Night reservation you will be given the option to duplicate the reservation.
How long will it take for my IHG® One Rewards points to post to my account after a recent stay?
Please allow five business days after you check out for points from a recent stay to post to your account. If it has been more than five business days and your points are still missing, fill out a Missing Points form.
How long will it take for my IHG One Rewards promotional bonus points to post to my account?

What is the difference between a stay and a night?
A “night” is considered one night at any of our hotels. A “stay” can consist of any number of consecutive nights at the same hotel, regardless of frequency of check-in/check-out.
When is a night or stay considered qualifying?
A "stay" or "night" is qualifying when paying qualifying room rates. See the IHG One Rewards Membership Terms & Conditions for more details on qualifying stays.
What are qualifying room rates?
Qualifying Rates include most business and leisure rates, such as Advance Saver rates, Best Flexible rates, global sales negotiated rates (including but not limited to Corporate Gold rates), national/regional/local government rates, and specified leisure rates as confirmed by IHG’s reservation systems. In Asia, the Middle East, Africa, and Greater China (Mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan), Qualifying Rates include all locally negotiated rates. Note: In Greater China, Qualifying Rates also include all corporate negotiated rates settled with hotels via regular payment. In all other parts of the world, locally negotiated rates are classed as Qualifying Rates if the rate is discounted less than 30%.
See the IHG One Rewards Membership Terms & Conditions for more details on qualifying room rates.
Can I earn points and miles at the same time?
Your IHG One Rewards account must reflect either a points or miles earning preference. However, you can switch from one to the other at any time by updating the preferences on your account. Occasionally, there are IHG One Rewards promotions that offer points only, so if you are a miles earner you will earn points on these offers. This information will be clearly displayed in the promotion details.
