IHG Booking Linky

-The current list is valid for stays through 10/31
-Hotels can sell out of discounted rooms quickly and only a limited amount of rooms are available per night.

You can book up to 2 reservations per hotel. There’s no limit to how long each of the stays can be.

You can stay in any PointBreaks hotel for 5,000 IHG points.

If you already have IHG points in your account then you can buy points for less.

Be sure to click on the rules during the checkout process to make sure that the room is fully refundable (almost all are):

-The Holiday Inn Express & Suites Meadowlands allows you to redeem 5K points and $70 for a night, just click “more options” and then select rewards nights. If you cancel that night you’ll get back 15K total points, so you’ll have effectively purchased 10K points for $70, or just $35 per 5K points. IHG Cardholders pay 10K points and $59.50 and also get back 15K points when they cancel, so they pay just $29.75 per 5K points. IHG Cardholders also get 10% of their redeemed points credited back, lowering the effective cost of a 5K award to $26.78.

-The Candlewood Suites Secaucus allows you to redeem 10K points and $100 for a night. If you cancel that night you’ll get back 25K total points, so you’ll have effectively purchased 15K points for $100, or just $33.33 per 5K points. IHG Cardholders pay 10K points and $85 and also get back 25K points when they cancel, so they pay just $28.33 per 5K points. IHG Cardholders also get 10% of their redeemed points credited back, lowering the effective cost of a 5K award to $25.50.

-The Crowne Plaza White Plains allows you to redeem 10K points and $125 for a night. If you cancel that night you’ll get back 30K total points, so you’ll have effectively purchased 20K points for $125, or just $31.25 per 5K points. IHG Cardholders pay 10K points and $106.25 and also get back 30K points when they cancel, so they pay just $26.56 per 5K points. IHG Cardholders also get 10% of their redeemed points credited back, lowering the effective cost of a 5K award to $23.90.

If you don’t have points yet IHG sells 5,000 points for $67.50 (or less via targeted offers after you sign in). If those points don’t post instantly you can call IHG to get a points loan based on your purchase confirmation number in order to quickly grab a room. Alternatively you can transfer 5,000 Chase Ultimate Rewards points to IHG, though transfers are not instant. It’s a terrible use of Ultimate Rewards points (as they’re were more than twice that to brokers or when transferred to other airlines or hotels), but it allows you to start buying points for 0.7 cents each.

You can also get 60K points for signing up for their credit card.  That’s not as strong as bonuses from cards with more valuable point currencies, though it does come with an annual certificate good for a free stay in any IHG hotel. Those are best utilized at Intercontinental hotels where a night can set you back 60K points or $800/night in places like Bora Bora. The card is free for the first year and then $49/year.  If you have a credit card you’ll also get 10% of your points back on award reservations!
