Heading to an IHG property soon? There are several IHG promotions running right now — from global offers to targeted bonuses — that can help you rack up extra points or elite nights.

Right now, IHG One Rewards members can earn up to 8,000 bonus points every four nights, double elite night credits on stays through July 31, and triple points this summer at select brands (with pre-registration now open). There’s also a great opportunity to earn extra elite credits if you’re heading to Japan.

Here’s a full rundown of all the current IHG promotions — and how to make the most of them on your next stay.

These promotions are exclusively for IHG One Rewards members to earn bonus points. If you're not a member (it's free to join!) or are simply looking for a discount on your next stay, be sure to check out our post on IHG discounts.

Global IHG Promotions

Pre-register for triple points at select brands

IHG's next global promotion is already open for pre-registration. One Rewards members who reside in the Americas can register to earn triple points on all eligible stays at select brands between July 1 and September 30, 2025.

While only residents in North America, Central America, South America, and the Caribbean are eligible for this promotion, valid stays are anywhere in the world at the following brands:

  • voco
  • EVEN Hotels
  • Atwell Suites
  • avid hotels
  • Garner

Triple points are earned on the base points of the stay. However, members shouldn't have a problem pairing this promotion with other offers, such as double elite night credits or up to 8,000 bonus points every four nights.

Key terms

  • Register for this promotion before completing eligible nights.
  • Book and complete eligible nights at participating brands between July 1 and September 30, 2025:
    • Atwell Suites
    • avid hotels
    • EVEN Hotels
    • Garner
    • voco
  • Only nights paid for in cash with a value of $30 or more are eligible.
  • Earn triple base points on the stay.
  • This offer does not give a maximum number of points that members can earn.
  • Open only to IHG One Rewards members residing in the Americas.
  • Members can only claim triple bonus points on one room per night.

Double elite night credits through July 31

IHG One Rewards members can sign up to earn double elite night credits on stays through July 31, 2025. One promotion has a limit of five nights, while another promotion has a limit of 10 nights. The only discernible difference between the two offers is the number of bonus elite night credits you can earn, so it only makes sense to register for the latter offer.

These offers are valid on all stays of any length, completed between June 18 and July 31, 2025. Only stays completed after registering are eligible. Members can only register for these offers once. However, they don't say anything against registering for both offers, so perhaps you could score up to 15 bonus elite night credits. Let us know if you try this and you're successful!

2,000 points every 2 nights, or 8,000 points every 4 nights

IHG is currently running another good global promotion. Members can register for this offer and choose between 2,000 bonus points every two nights or 8,000 bonus points every four nights. You can only register for one of the two offers, and once you've made your choice, the other option becomes unavailable.

Only nights completed after registration count toward earning bonus points. The nights don't need to be consecutive, and stays can be as short as one night, as long as each night costs at least $30. And there’s no published cap on how many points you can earn through August 31, 2025.

If you plan to stay fewer than four nights (or just six or seven nights) during the promo period, go with the 2,000-point offer. Otherwise, the 8,000-point version will likely earn you more points.

Key terms

  • Register to earn 2,000 bonus points every two nights, or 8,000 bonus points every four nights.
  • Members can only register for one offer and cannot switch once registered.
  • Registration must be completed before any eligible nights are completed.
  • Eligible stays must occur between May 20 and August 31, 2025.
  • Bonus points are awarded every two or four nights, depending on the selected offer.

Buy up to 5,000 elite qualifying points per night

Members may have the option to buy up to 5,000 elite qualifying points per night at booking. This might or might not be a good idea depending on your elite status goals, so check out the math of when it does and doesn't make sense.

Regional IHG Promotions

Most current regional IHG promotions are cash savings-focused and offer up to 25% off your hotel stay or dining bill. While we hope to see more points-focused offers soon, these regional deals are still worth considering, especially if you’re planning a trip and haven’t locked in your accommodations yet.

Up to 15 bonus elite night credits in Japan

IHG recently launched a new promotion of particular interest for anyone planning a trip to Japan. IHG One Rewards members can enroll to earn 5 bonus credits for every 5 nights stayed — up to 15 bonus elite night credits — at 14 specific hotels in Osaka, Kyoto, and Kobe from July 1 to August 31, 2025. Register for this promotion here.

Our Take

IHG One Rewards members can take advantage of several lucrative promotions this summer. The current global offer lets members choose between earning 2,000 bonus points every two nights or 8,000 bonus points every four nights — a great way to quickly build up your points balance. Double elite night credits are also available on stays completed through July 31.

Looking ahead, members in the Americas can pre-register for a triple points promotion that runs July 1–September 30 at brands like voco, EVEN Hotels, and Avid. Meanwhile, members traveling to Japan can register for up to 15 bonus elite night credits at select hotels in Osaka, Kyoto, and Kobe.

In addition to these points and elite night promos, don't forget to use an IHG co-branded credit card — such as the IHG One Rewards Premier Card — to maximize your earnings at IHG properties.
