IHG Rewards has launched another buy points sale at an up to 100% Mystery Bonus for purchases made through March 18, 2022.
IHG frequently sells its points (the maximum bonus is 100%), and members can now buy up to 150,000 (usually with an increased limit of 250,000) every calendar year before any targeted offers.
You can check your personalized IHG Rewards buy points offer here.

Price at 100% bonus:
The cost of a point at the 100% bonus is 0.5 cents each.
Does it make sense to purchase points?
Purchasing points merely because they are on sale doesn’t make sense. If you have a good use for them, buying can considerably lower the stays’ price.
IHG recently moved to variably priced awards, and there have been some excellent deals lately by using points, although some of the best ones have already been “corrected.”
Conclusion
IHG’s awards are all over the map now that they are primarily based on the cash price for the night. However, there are some fluctuations, and you can occasionally save by buying points over paying the cash price. It doesn’t make much sense to buy at any other bonus level than 100% (or 50% off), at which IHG sells its points frequently.
Here are the terms and conditions of this offer:
This Offer is available for qualifying purchases of IHG® Rewards points made between 12:00 AM ET on 9 February 2022 and 11:59 PM ET on 18 March 2022 (“Offer Period”). All members eligible for this Offer will receive a bonus of 100% of the points purchased when they meet a minimum points purchase threshold on a per transaction basis. The number of points a member may purchase, gift or receive as a gift during the Offer Period is subject to annual limits under the IHG Rewards Membership Terms and Conditions, which are available on www.ihg.com. Members may purchase a maximum of up to 150,000 points during a calendar year, so the number of points a member can purchase during the Offer Period will depend on how may points the member had already purchased during the same calendar year. For example, if a member had previously purchased 50,000 points in 2022, then the member could only purchase up to a maximum of 100,000 points during the Offer Period and would be eligible to receive additional bonus points under this Offer, in the amount of 100% of the number of points purchased during the Offer Period. Similar limits apply to gifting points and receiving points as a gift: members may gift up to a maximum of 150,000 points or receive as gifts from other members a combined maximum of up to 150,000 points, during the Offer Period, subject to reduction by the number of points that have been already gifted or received as a gift in the same calendar year. Purchased points, as well as any bonus points awarded under this Offer, do not count towards IHG® Rewards Elite status. This is an exclusive, non-transferable offer for intended recipients only and may not be forwarded. Offer is subject to change and cannot be combined with any other offer. Price includes all applicable fees. Purchased Points are not refundable and are applicable toward all IHG® Rewards awards. Please allow up to 72 hours for points to post and appear in the recipient’s account. All other IHG® Rewards Membership Terms and Conditions apply.
