If you qualify, IHG is basically paying you $21 worth of points to redeem Points & Cash nights, which are a good value.
A special note on Points & Cash awards:
IHG handles Points & Cash award stays in a unique way compared to the other major hotel companies.
When you book your stay using Points & Cash, you have two options and are basically buying IHG Rewards Club points for the points portion of your stay:
If you choose the option to pay 5,000 less rewards points and $40 per night, you are paying 0.8 cents per point
If you choose the option to pay 10,000 less rewards points and $70 per night, you are paying 0.7 cents per point
Your debit or credit card will be charged right away for the $40 or $70 per night depending on the option you choose
If you cancel your stay you will not receive the $40 or $70 you paid per night back in the form of a cash credit, you will instead have 5,000 or 10,000 points for each night of your stay credited to your account (depending on the option you chose)
The Wrap-Up:
Points & Cash stays are a good value. You are basically buying the points portion (if you choose the 10,000 point option) for .07 cents per point, which we believe is a good value. With this offer, IHG is giving those who qualify a 3,000 point bonus per stay worth about $21. If you qualify it’s a good time to book a Points & Cash stay!
