Each account will have its own set of goals and corresponding point values for achieving them. We compared offers among the AwardWallet writing staff and came up with three offers that illustrate the wide range of possibilities\u2014from uninspiring to highly lucrative.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"A_Weak_Offer\">A Weak Offer<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img data-aspectratio=\"1774\/1174\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" alt=\"Weak_Offer_Erik_s_Account\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-32245 size-full lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Weak_Offer_Erik_s_Account.png\"  width=\"1774\" height=\"1174\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Weak_Offer_Erik_s_Account.png 1774w, https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Weak_Offer_Erik_s_Account-300x199.png 300w, https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Weak_Offer_Erik_s_Account-1024x678.png 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1774px) 100vw, 1774px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Maximizing the\u00a0first, rather weak, promotion will require a minimum of 3 stays of 2 nights each on the weekend (including a stay on Saturday), and will yield a total of 40,000 bonus points.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"A_Better_Offer\">A Better Offer<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img data-aspectratio=\"1774\/1234\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" alt=\"Strong_Offer\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-32244 size-full lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Strong_Offer.png\"  width=\"1774\" height=\"1234\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Strong_Offer.png 1774w, https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Strong_Offer-300x209.png 300w, https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Strong_Offer-1024x712.png 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1774px) 100vw, 1774px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>This offer falls somewhere in the middle. The total earning potential is quite high with 72,200 total bonus points up for grabs. But nearly half of the points are earned when hitting all five goals which requires 2 stays of 4 nights or more and 2 weekend stays of at least 2 nights.<\/p>\n<p>The pure minimalist could pull this off by booking both four-night stays to include a Saturday night and paying for one with points and cash. Another approach would be to skip the four-night stays and pick up 18,500 bonus points with 2 stays of 1 night over the weekend. (But don't forget to book with points and cash for one of those stays.)<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"An_Excellent_Offer\">An Excellent Offer<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img data-aspectratio=\"920\/714\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" alt=\"IHG-Rewards-Nights-Faster-Promotion-2\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-32243 size-full lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/IHG-Rewards-Nights-Faster-Promotion-2.png\"  width=\"920\" height=\"714\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/IHG-Rewards-Nights-Faster-Promotion-2.png 920w, https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/IHG-Rewards-Nights-Faster-Promotion-2-300x233.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 920px) 100vw, 920px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The strong promotion is generously giving you 31,400 points for 3 stays of 1 night (two booked as points plus cash). Maximizing the promotion would require 5 nights (staying twice on weekends for 2 nights including Saturday and further night) and would yield an impressive 57,500 bonus points.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Our_Take\">Our Take<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Historically the IHG Quarterly promotions have been very lucrative, so it is worth registering to see your offer. Interestingly, if you have not had many IHG stays recently, you may find that you have been presented with a better offer as IHG tries to win back your business.<\/p>\n<p>If you're planning to maximize one of these promotions, you might consider the <a data-ccid=\"4048106\" href=\"\/blog\/link\/IHGRewardsClubPremierCreditCard\" rel=\"noopener nofollow sponsored\">IHG One Rewards Premier Credit Card<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Our\u00a0<a href=\"\/credit-cards\/ihg-one-rewards\/ihg-premier-card\/\">full card review<\/a> covers benefits like a 4th night free on award stays and complimentary Platinum Elite status that could provide plenty of extra value as you pursue your Reward Nights Faster offer.<\/p>\n<p><em>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ihg.com\/content\/us\/en\/offers\/multibrand2019?registered=true\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">IHG Rewards Club<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<div id=\"ftoc\"><div id=\"toc_container\" class=\"toc_light_blue no_bullets\"><p class=\"toc_title\">Page Contents<\/p><ul class=\"toc_list\"><li><a href=\"#Key_Terms\">Key Terms<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#Promotion_Structure\">Promotion Structure<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#A_Weak_Offer\">A Weak Offer<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#A_Better_Offer\">A Better Offer<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#An_Excellent_Offer\">An Excellent Offer<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#Our_Take\">Our Take<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>IHG has launched registration for its first quarter &#8220;Reward Nights Faster&#8221; promotion.
