How does the IHG 15% award discount work?

IHG cuts the points required for award stays at recently opened hotels by 15%. The reduced price appears when you search a participating property with points. No code or registration is needed.

When does the discount expire?

There is no single deadline. Each property carries its own end date, and those dates fall between September 30, 2026 and January 31, 2027. Check the specific hotel before you plan around the discount.

Can I combine it with the fourth night free?

No. You pick one or the other. Since the Fourth Reward Night Free benefit effectively takes 25% off a four-night stay, it beats the 15% discount on any stay of four nights or more.

Is there a limit on the number of nights?

Yes. The discount applies to bookings of three nights or less. That cap is why this offer suits short city stays rather than longer trips, even at extended-stay brands such as Candlewood Suites.

Which hotels are included?

IHG added 268 recently opened properties across Holiday Inn Express, Candlewood Suites, Crowne Plaza, Kimpton, and voco. They are spread across the United States, China, Europe, and other regions, so check availability in your destination.

Is an IHG award night a good deal?

Members average roughly 0.69 cents per point on IHG award stays, while buying points on promotion costs 0.5 to 0.6 cents each. Divide the cash rate by the discounted points price; anything comfortably above 0.6 cents is worth booking.
