IHG Rewards Club releases new bonus ‘Stay x’ bonus codes

UPDATE – DECEMBER 2021:  This article is now out of date, but don’t worry.  We produce a monthly summary of the top hotel bonus point offers – please click HERE or use the ‘Hotel Offers’ menu above.

You can earn up to triple IHG Rewards base points with IHG’s new Autumn promotion. It runs from 1st October to 31st December 2021. You can register here and our full article on the offer is here.

You will get a 100% bonus when you buy IHG Rewards points by 4th January 2022. Click here to buy or learn more.

My round-up of Spring hotel promotions has so far taken in Starwood, Hilton and Hyatt.  Click on the links to read my articles on what they are offering.

IHG Rewards Club, the Holiday Inn / Crowne Plaza / InterContinental loyalty scheme, has also now shown its hand.

It has gone back to the tried and tested ‘Stay x, get y’ promotion.  This ran quarter after quarter for a number of years before IHG decided to start trialling complex schemes like ‘The Big Win’.

As some of you may not have seen this sort of promotion before, I will run through it briefly:

IHG has sent a range of emails to members – you may not even have received anything at all.

These emails offer a variation of ‘stay x nights and you will receive a bonus of y points’.

Irrespective of which promotion – if any – you received, you should be able to register for ANY variant, although people are reporting some issues this time around.

The skill is therefore in picking the code which maximises the number of points you can earn whilst being certain you can achieve the number of nights before September 2nd.

Looking through the list of codes posted on Flyertalk, this is what appears to be circulating.  The codes in bold are the only ones worth considering.

Stay 3 nights for 5,000 points – 7057, 7093

Stay 4 nights for 5,000 points – 5152

Stay 7 nights for 10,000 points – 2281, 4989, 5989

Stay 8 nights for 10,000 points – 5155, 7052

Stay 10 nights for 10,000 points – 4985

Stay 12 nights for 10,000 points – 4987, 5156

Stay 15 nights for 15,000 points – 2113

Stay 18 nights for 15,000 points – 1029, 5153, 6340

You can register for the code of your choice here.   Remember that you can only pick ONE code.

Some people are finding that it is not possible to register for ANY of the codes.  IHG has admitted to IT problems when these codes were released on Thursday but it thinks they are now fixed.  You may or may not agree.

These codes are valid for stays from May 15th to September 2nd.  Only cash nights count towards your target, and your bonus will post alongside the points from the stay which triggers it.
