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 qualified when paying qualifying room rates, which include most business and leisure rates.
Back to top

What are qualifying room rates?
Qualifying room rates are applied when you book through IHG central reservation offices, IHG Web sites, travel agents or directly at the hotel. In North, South and Central America and the Caribbean, points may be awarded on locally negotiated rates if these rates are discounted less than 30%. At Asia Pacific hotels, qualifying room rates also include all locally negotiated rates.

Can I earn points and miles at the same time?
Your IHG^Â® Rewards Club account must reflect either a points or a mileage 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^Â® Rewards Club promotions that offer points only, so if you are a mileage earner you will earn points on these offers. This information will be clearly displayed in the promotion details..

How do I change my earning preference?
To change your earning preference please sign into your IHG^Â® Rewards Club account, go to Account Status and select your choice of earning IHG^Â® Rewards Club points OR airline miles.
