However, you'll need to make some adjustments to your One Rewards account settings to earn these miles.<\/p>\n<p>This new promotion is valid for bookings made from <strong>July 8 through<\/strong> <strong>September 30, 2026<\/strong>.

Then, select &#8220;United Airlines MileagePlus&#8221; as your preferred airline program.<\/p>\n<p>Before making a booking, though, be sure to <a href=\"https:\/\/fxo.co\/JETQ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">register for this promotion<\/a>. Once registered, book a stay of any length at any participating IHG property completed before <strong>September 30, 2026<\/strong>. You will earn triple United miles on your stays.<\/p>\n<p>IHG stays generally give 2X miles per dollar spent. The exceptions are Candlewood Suites and Staybridge Suites, which have a base rate of 1X mile per dollar spent. Thus, this promotion gives United MileagePlus members 6X miles per dollar spent at most IHG properties through September 30, 2026, as well as 2X miles per dollar at Candlewood Suites and Staybridge Suites.<\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"Key_terms\"><strong>Key terms<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>This promotion runs through <strong>September 30, 2026<\/strong><strong>, <\/strong>but members must register first and then book.<\/li>\n<li>Elect to earn United miles (meaning you will not earn any IHG points) to take advantage of the promotion.<\/li>\n<li>Book a stay of any length to earn triple miles.<\/li>\n<li>Make your reservation through the booking page for the promotion.<\/li>\n<li>Must be a member of both IHG Rewards and United MileagePlus.<\/li>\n<li>Allow up to 6 weeks for bonus miles to post.<\/li>\n<li><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/fxo.co\/JETQ\" rel=\"noopener\">Full terms are available here<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span id=\"Our_Take\">Our Take<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Earning <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/fxo.co\/JETQ\" rel=\"noopener\">triple United miles on IHG hotel stays<\/a> could be a better option than earning IHG One Rewards points, though it ultimately comes down to your travel goals. If you have upcoming IHG stays and would rather build your United MileagePlus balance, this promotion is worth considering.<\/p>\n<p>For reference, <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"\/point-mile-values\/united\" rel=\"noopener\">AwardWallet user redemption data<\/a> shows United miles are worth an average of 2.02\u00a2 each; while IHG One Rewards points are worth 0.69\u00a2 each.<\/p>\n<p>IHG stays typically earn 10 IHG points per dollar (before elite bonuses and other promotions). With this offer, you'll earn up to 6 United miles per dollar instead. Depending on how you value each currency, switching your earning preference to United for the duration of the promotion could make sense.<\/p>\n<p>This promotion should also stack with <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/news\/ihg-one-rewards\/current-ihg-promotion\/\" rel=\"noopener\">other ongoing IHG offers<\/a>, so it's worth checking your account for any additional promotions before booking. Just remember to register, book by <strong>September 30, 2026<\/strong>, and update your earning preference to United if you haven't already.<\/p>\n<p>Also, even if you choose to earn United miles from your stay, you can still pay with an IHG co-branded credit card to earn bonus IHG points on the purchase itself, giving you the best of both worlds.<\/p>\n<div class=\"compare-cards-wrap
