Good afternoon everyone, I hope your weekend is going well. I had a great time attending yesterday’s FTU Virtual Seminar and I enjoyed chatting with other attendees at the virtual mixer. Last week, I wrote PSA: Keep Checking IHG Award Prices for Price Drops, Then Rebook or use Free Night Certificates. In that post, I showed you how I kept checking award prices of the Kimpton Muse Hotel in NYC and used an IHG Free Night Certificate once the price dropped to 40,000 IHG Points and below. In today’s post, I will show you how I rebooked a 4 night award stay twice and saved 42,000 IHG Points.
Since I have the Chase IHG Rewards Premier Credit Card, I took advantage of the fourth night free benefit where the fourth night is completely free. I have an upcoming Crowne Plaza Hotel stay that I originally booked on October 31 for 90,000 IHG Points total. As you can see, the first 3 nights are 30,000 IHG Points per night and the fourth night is free. 90,000 IHG Points for a 4 night stay is an average of 22,500 IHG Points per night which seemed like a good deal to me. Fortunately, the deal was about to get much better over the coming weeks.
