If you're planning to book your next IHG stay with cash instead of points, you might as well save some money by taking advantage of one of IHG's ongoing discount promotions.
Here's a look at each offer and how to maximize the dollars you spend on your stay.
This post focuses on how you can save on your next IHG stay. Check out this post if you're looking to earn bonus IHG points on stays.
Save up to 35% at Newly Opened IHG Hotels
IHG regularly offers discounted stays at new hotels, and now is no exception. These ongoing promotions have no set expiration dates. Instead, members must simply book a stay at the hotel within a few months of opening. This can vary by region, but you generally need to stay within three to six months of opening. Luckily, you can typically book up to three months before opening.
In addition, the minimum stay requirements vary by property, but can be as short as one night. To qualify for the discount, you must book and prepay at least three days before your arrival. Keep in mind that these bookings are usually non-refundable and cannot be changed. Be sure to check the hotel’s individual page to confirm its grand opening date and verify when the offer applies, as they all differ.
Note that IHG does not have discounted rates for new hotels in the Americas. Instead, members can save 15% on award stays at new hotels in the Americas, as well as worldwide.
New IHG hotels in Europe
When you stay at a new IHG property in Europe, you can save up to 15% off standard rates, and IHG members receive an additional 10% discount. To qualify for the offer, you need to stay within three months of opening.
