IHG 2019 Award Category Changes

Lots of IHG hotels are getting more expensive and a smaller number will become less expensive with this year’s changes that will go into effect tomorrow.

No hotels in Israel are changing categories.

You can book hotel stays for the next year at the old rates tonight. Most hotels will allow you to cancel for free until a couple of days before the stay, so it can be worth reserving stays if you think you might be able to make them work.

The card comes with an annual certificate good for a free stay in IHG hotels that cost up to 40K points.

IHG points will not expire for as long as you remain a cardholder.

You can get the signup bonus as long as you haven’t received an IHG signup bonus within the past 24 months.

If you have both the IHG Select card and the IHG Premier card you’ll get every 4th award night free AND a 10% rebate on award nights!

The IHG Premier card also comes with free Global Entry/TSA Pre-Check.
