IHG One Rewards has rolled out a new global promotion that gives members an opportunity to earn additional bonus points on their hotel stays this summer. If you’re planning to stay at any IHG property between 20th May and 31st August 2026, it is worth registering for this offer before checking in, as doing so can significantly boost your points balance.
Unlike some of IHG’s previous promotions, this one lets members choose between two earning structures depending on how frequently they expect to stay during the promotion period. While the offer isn’t revolutionary, it is straightforward and can be rewarding, especially for members with multiple upcoming stays.
Option 1: Earn 2,000 Bonus Points Every 2 Nights
If your travel plans involve shorter stays spread across different trips, this option is likely to be the better choice. Under this offer, you’ll receive 2,000 bonus IHG One Rewards points after every two eligible room nights completed during the promotion period.
There is no upper earning limit, meaning you can continue earning bonus points every time you complete another two qualifying nights.
Option 2: Earn 8,000 Bonus Points Every 4 Nights
Members planning longer holidays or multiple hotel stays may benefit more from this option. Instead of receiving points after every two nights, you’ll earn 8,000 bonus IHG One Rewards points after every four eligible room nights.
Since 8,000 bonus points over four nights works out better than earning 2,000 points every two nights, frequent travelers should consider this option if they are confident they’ll complete at least four qualifying nights before the promotion ends.
Registration is Mandatory
One of the most important conditions of this promotion is registration.
Simply staying at an IHG hotel is not enough.
Members must first log into their IHG One Rewards account and register for either the 2,000-point offer or the 8,000-point offer.
Once registered, your choice cannot be changed during the promotion period.
Because of this, it’s worth checking your upcoming travel plans before selecting an offer.
Is This Promotion Worth Registering For?
Absolutely.
Registration is free, takes only a few seconds, and offers additional points on stays you may already be planning.
The promotion doesn’t require any special booking codes or higher room rates, only that you register before your first eligible stay and book directly with IHG.
While it may not be the most generous promotion IHG has ever launched, earning an extra 8,000 bonus points every four nights is still a meaningful return, particularly for business travelers and members with multiple hotel bookings lined up.
If you’re planning to stay at an InterContinental, Holiday Inn, Crowne Plaza, voco, or any participating IHG property over the next few months, registering for this promotion is an easy way to earn additional points without changing your travel plans.
Additionally, eligible Mastercard cardholders should also consider registering for IHG One Rewards’ Fast Track to Elite Status promotion. Depending on your Mastercard variant, you can earn Gold Elite status with just 2 qualifying nights or Platinum Elite status with 6 qualifying nights. Combining both promotions allows you to earn bonus points while simultaneously fast-tracking your elite status, making your upcoming IHG stays even more rewarding.
