Thinking about staying at an IHG property soon? Before you book, it’s worth taking a minute to check what promotions are available to make that stay — and all the ones after — a good bit more rewarding. Here’s an overview of what’s available now (with links to register, where applicable).
These promotions are exclusively available to IHG One Rewards members for earning 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.

Not an IHG Member? Earn a 3k-Point Enrollment Bonus
If you’re not an IHG One Rewards member yet, it’s easy and rewarding to sign up. Enrollment is free, and you’ll earn 3,000 bonus points when you book and complete a paid stay of at least one night (with a minimum spend of $30 per night) within 21 days of joining. Award stays don’t count toward this offer.
This offer is valid through December 31, 2026, and can only be redeemed once. Bonus points will post to your account within six weeks after your stay.
Global IHG Promotions
Unlike many other major hotel brands right now, IHG isn’t running a global promotion focused on bonus points, meaning one that lets you earn rewards at participating properties worldwide. Hopefully that changes for Q2 2026. And if it does, you can expect this section to be updated.
Regional IHG Promotions
More often than not, IHG has several regional promotions running simultaneously. Here’s an overview of what’s active now.

This IHG promotion offers 3X bonus points on stays in select destinations booked by April 11, 2026, and completed by May 22, 2026. You’ll need to register to take part in this offer.

Discounts
The bulk of IHG’s regional promotions active now offer discounts on stays at properties in select regions. This includes deals at newly opened IHG hotels, discounts when you book with a Visa credit card, and more. To learn about all the current IHG discount promotions, this post has you covered.
Targeted IHG Promotions
Occasionally, IHG One Rewards also offers targeted promotions. Beyond the fact that you need to be invited via email or try your luck registering through the link(s) below, it’s hard to know who’s targeted for these offers.
Here are the ones we know are currently active.
Earn up to 5 bonus Elite Night Credits
This targeted IHG promotion offers one bonus Elite Night Credit for each night you stay through May 31, 2026 — up to five bonus Elite Night Credits.
Registration is required, and you must book eligible stays of at least one night with a total spend of $30 or more. Nights booked using points or Points + Cash aren’t eligible.
Buy Elite-Qualifying Buy Elite-Qualifying IHG Points During Booking
If you’re planning to earn IHG One Rewards elite status this year, don’t forget that, depending on the property and the rate you select, you can purchase up to 5,000 elite-qualifying points per night. Click here to learn more about these offers and whether the math makes sense.
IHG’s timeshare arm is called Holiday Inn Club Vacations. And if you’re unfamiliar with it (or just a savvy points collector), you can attend a timeshare presentation to learn more and score a discounted stay plus 50,000 bonus points.
