IHG One Rewards has extended its 15% award discount to 268 more hotels. The offer cuts the points needed for a stay at newly opened properties, and the fresh batch spans Holiday Inn Express, Candlewood Suites, Crowne Plaza, Kimpton, and voco across the United States, China, Europe, and beyond.
In this article, we explain how the discount works, the two rules that limit it, and how it interacts with IHG’s dynamic pricing. If you are building a points balance, see our guide to the best IHG One Rewards cards.
IHG applies a standing 15% cut to the points required at recently opened hotels. Rather than a single sale with one deadline, each property carries its own end date, and those dates run from September 30, 2026 through January 31, 2027.
The discount reduces the points side of the booking. Therefore, the saving shows up directly in the award price you see when you search a participating hotel with points.
Two restrictions decide whether this offer is worth chasing, and both push it toward short trips.
That second rule matters if you hold the IHG One Rewards Premier Credit Card. On a four-night stay, the free fourth night takes 25% off the total, which beats a 15% cut. Consequently, the new hotel discount is a tool for stays of one to three nights, and the card benefit takes over from four nights up.
IHG prices award nights dynamically. As a result, a 15% cut is only as good as the rate it applies to, and nothing stops the program from raising the underlying price. Treat the percentage as a starting point rather than a guarantee.
The practical test is cents per point. Divide the cash rate for the same night by the points required after the discount. If the result lands well above 0.6 cents, the award is doing better than the price of buying points during a typical promotion.
The 268 additions cut across the IHG portfolio rather than clustering in one tier. Budget and upscale brands both appear, which widens the range of trips where this can help.
This is a quiet, useful offer rather than a headline deal. A 15% cut at 268 new hotels helps most on one to three night stays at Kimpton, voco, and Crowne Plaza properties, where the points price is high enough for the percentage to matter.
For anything longer, the fourth night free on an IHG card wins. Check the per-property end date, run the cents-per-point math, and compare against the cash rate before you book. For more offers like this one, subscribe to our newsletter or browse the best hotel credit cards.
