IHG award night discount: Get 15% off award stays
This popular award discount from IHG One Rewards is back. Access for members with a Chase IHG One Rewards credit card opened Friday, while access for Platinum Elite and Diamond Elite members will start on Sunday. In either case, eligible members can enjoy 15% off award stays of up to three nights when they book by Wednesday and check in by Nov. 22.
I have the IHG One Rewards Premier Credit Card. When I log in to my account, search for an eligible award and select a hotel, I see a message stating, “As a cardmember, you are eligible for a 15% discount on Reward Nights.”
Eligible IHG members can get a 15% discount on reward nights — including points and cash awards — when booking stays of up to three consecutive nights by Wednesday. These members must log in to their IHG One Rewards account, book award stays of up to three nights at participating hotels and check in by Nov. 22 to be eligible for the discount.
You don’t need to register for the promotion or do anything special to get the discount if you’re an eligible member. Log in to your IHG account and search for award nights as usual. However, remember that Platinum Elite and Diamond Elite members without an eligible card must wait until Sunday to access the discount.
Since this promotion is only for award stays of up to three nights, it isn’t stackable with the fourth-night-free reward offered as a benefit on the IHG One Rewards Premier Credit Card, the IHG One Rewards Traveler Credit Card and the IHG One Rewards Premier Business Credit Card.
If you’re eligible for this promotion, check award rates and consider rebooking if you have IHG stays booked during the stay period. It doesn’t hurt to check your other IHG stays as well since award rates may have decreased since you booked due to IHG’s use of dynamic pricing.

Bottom line
If you have an upcoming stay of up to three nights with IHG and are eligible for this sale, check if the 15% discount affects your calculations for booking a paid stay or redeeming IHG points.
If you need to earn more IHG points, remember that you can transfer Chase Ultimate Rewards points and Bilt Rewards Points to IHG. But, depending on how you value these currencies, you may be better off buying the IHG points you need.
