Good afternoon everyone, happy Friday! I was working on my Buy Miles & Points Page and found 5 offers that end this week. Always check the math to make sure that buying miles & points makes sense for you. Do not buy miles & points speculatively unless you have a use in mind. With that said, here are the 5 offers that end soon.
Up first, IHG Hotels is offering up to a 100% bonus, depending on the number of IHG One Rewards Points you purchase. This offer expires on October 5.
Here are the complete terms & conditions of the IHG Hotels promo:
This Offer is available for qualifying purchases of IHG One Rewards points made between 12:00 AM ET on September 23rd, 2024 and 11:59 PM ET on October 5th, 2024 (“Offer Period”). Members will receive a bonus of 100% of the points purchased when they purchase a minimum 11,000 points purchase threshold on a per transaction basis. There is a minimum points purchase threshold on a per transaction basis to be eligible for a bonus. The percentage bonus amount will show for eligible members when they log into their IHG One Rewards account. (Please click through to access the landing page for the Offer.) 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 One 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 many points the member had already purchased during the same calendar year. For example, if a member had previously purchased 50,000 points in 2024, then the member could only purchase up to a maximum of 100,000 points during the Offer Period and would be eligible to receive the applicable percentage of additional bonus points under this Offer based only on the amount 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. If a member purchases points that exceed the 150,000 points threshold for 2024 then they cannot purchase points for the remainder of the calendar year. Purchased points, as well as any bonus points awarded under this Offer, do not count towards IHG One 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 fees but subject to applicable taxes. Purchased Points are not refundable and are applicable toward all IHG One Rewards awards. Please allow up to 72 hours for points to post and appear in the recipient’s account. All other IHG One Rewards Membership Terms and Conditions apply.

Reward nights are only available at participating hotels and may not be available at Ascend Hotel Collection casino locations.

Your free room night does not include incidental charges and/or resort fees. Members may cancel their reservations through the Program Line or through their online account and by the date and time specified by the reservation sales representative or online for a refund. If you are unable to use your room and fail to cancel your reservation by that time, however, or if you do not claim the room by the specified time, Choice will not credit your account with the points that you redeemed for that room.
