Our Take
The current offer is for 140,000 bonus points, down slightly from its previous high but still a stellar offer.
The IHG card confuses a lot of people because you have probably never seen an “IHG Hotel” along the side of the road. IHG hotels include Intercontinental, Holiday Inn, Crowne Plaza, Candlewood Suites, and more. There are more than 5,000 of them to choose from worldwide.
Many IHG properties go for as little as 10,000 points per night, with their high end properties pricing out around 80,000 points per night.
Personally, I just used the annual free night certificate to book a free night at the Intercontinental Osaka. Which normally goes for ~$400 a night.
