Deal: Download IHG App, Earn 500 Points

This is an easy promotion that anyone who is eligible should consider (thanks to YHBU for flagging this)…

IHG incentivizing downloading app

InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG) is currently offering 500 IHG One Rewards bonus points when you download the IHG app:

• You must register for this offer
• You must download the app and sign in by June 30, 2024
• You must have never downloaded the app before
• Bonus points will post within six weeks
• There’s no activity requirement beyond having to log into your account; in other words, you don’t need to book a hotel, or anything else

I value 500 IHG points at $2.50

Personally, I value IHG One Rewards points at 0.5 cents each, meaning that to me, 500 IHG points are worth ~$2.50. Okay, that’s not the most exciting reward on earth, but at the same time, this is an easy offer to take advantage of. Perhaps the more exciting opportunity here for some is that IHG points expire after 12 months of inactivity for non-elite members, so this is also a way to extend the expiration of your points.

In general I find IHG’s loyalty program much more interesting than in the past, thanks to the 2022 revamp. IHG Platinum and IHG Diamond status has been improved considerably, and there’s huge value to the Milestone Rewards program, which can offer you club lounge access, suite upgrade awards, and more.

Bottom line

IHG is offering 500 bonus points for downloading the IHG One Rewards app for the first time. This is a solid promotion, so if you’ve never had the app before, be sure you download it to earn this reward.

Is this promotion enough of an incentive for you to download the IHG app (if you don’t have it already)?
