Get A 100% Bonus And Discounted Pricing When Purchasing IHG Points!
An IHG account is required, you can join here for free.
IHG normally sells points directly for 1.15 cents each. You can also transfer points from Chase, but that’s a criminal use of Chase points.
Points are on sale for just 1 cent each and IHG will also double all the points you purchase. To get the lowest rate (.5 cents per point) you’ll need to purchase at least 26K points which will be doubled to 52K points for $260. Of course you’ll also earn points on your credit card which will make the effective rate less than .5 cents per point.
You can purchase 100K points per member per year, so you can get up to 200K points with this promotion which would cost $1,000.
Note that IHG points require activity every 12 months, but you can just redeem for a hotel award and then cancel it to extend the expiration for another 12 months!
IHG runs PointBreaks which allows you to book rooms at rotating hotels starting at just 5,000 points per night. That’s just $25 for a room if you buy points at .5 cents each. Those hotels rotate every couple of months.
Plus you don’t pay tax on award nights.
There are also good values to be had at high-end properties in NYC, London, Paris etc. For example an overwater bungalow in Bora Bora can go for as much as $1,000 with tax but costs just 70K points. That’s just $350 at .5 cents per point.
If you have the Chase IHG Rewards Club Premier card you’ll also get a every 4th award night for free.
That means 4 nights at a top-tier hotel would cost 210K points, or an average of 52,500 points per night. Those points will cost $262.50 with this promotion.
There are several IHG hotels in Israel. They won’t necessarily be a deal with this promotion, but they may be depending on the price of your desired travel dates. Prices below are based per night on a 4 night stay for IHG One Rewards Premier Credit Cardholders or for a regular one night stay.

Hey Dan!
Going to Israel I’YH in August.
When renting a car, which credit card do you recommend to use for insurance purposes?
Cheers!
What cards do you have?
Thanks for the reply!
Chase United Explorer, Chase Ink Business Plus, and AMEX Starwood Preferred Guest.
Any of those should work just fine. Just make sure to get a letter of coverage before you go.
with letter of coverage, do you still need to purchase LDW insurance? Agent said no but Noach said I do…..
You do.
Not sure if it is a glitch, but I picked up a mid-size car for 9 days from Thrifty for $160! If I get the Letter of Coverage, does it cover the 3 coverages needed in Israel?
CDW – Collision Damage Coverage
TP – Theft Protection
TPPD – Third Party Property Damage
The email I got from Thrifty implied I would still need to buy TPPD from them.
How many points per $1 does the IHG card earn when buying these points?
Oops, looks like it’s from points.com so no IHG hotel spend bonus.
Is select card still available? Is it the “traveler card” on chase website?
It’s discontinued.
If you have the premier card, can you get a 20% discount on top this sale?
I don’t believe so.
The site shows I can purchase 100k and get 100k bonus. I believe the amount you can purchase per years is 100k, not 60k.
Yup, looks like they raised it, thanks!
Can you book executive/club room with IHG points at David intercontinental?
chase has shut down my ihg card on my account however it is still showing that registerd cardmember on my account! will this extend my expiratiomn
No, only activity extends points.
Dan you dont get a 20 percent off with the card when you get bonus points.. Its been a very long discussed issue on the forums
can you get the bonus on teh new ihg cards if you already had the old card once before?
Free night certificate + 2 points nights = 4th night free?
Is this the best promo they have?
Yes.
Dan,
Must I use the IHG card to buy the points? Or can I use the Sapphire Reserve or Ink card, instead?
If I could Sapphire would give 3 points per dollar spent. Correct?
You can use any card.
It does not count as a travel charge.
will I get triple points if I use the sapphire reserve, or i should rather use the freedom unlimited,
or how about the Chase IHG card?
which will give me the best value points for this?
Dead as of Saturday the 16th
