IHG incentivizing downloading app
IHG has just launched what it’s describing as its “Biggest Member Event.” There’s one particularly easy opportunity that’s worth taking advantage of, if you’re eligible. Specifically, you can receive 1,000 IHG One Rewards points when you download the IHG app:
- You must download the app between November 22 and December 2, 2022
- You must have never downloaded the app before
- Bonus points will post within six weeks
- There’s no activity requirement beyond having to log into your account; in other words, you don’t need to book a hotel, or anything else
I value 1,000 IHG points at $5
Personally I value IHG One Rewards points at 0.5 cents each, meaning that to me 1,000 IHG points are worth ~$5. That seems like a pretty solid reward for simply downloading an app (which you can always delete in the future, if you’d like). On top of that, keep in mind that IHG points expire after 12 months of inactivity for non-elite members, so this is also a way to extend the expiration of your points.
In general I find IHG’s loyalty program much more interesting than in the past, thanks to the revamp earlier this year. IHG Platinum and IHG Diamond status has been improved considerably, and there’s huge value to the Milestone Rewards program, which can offer you club lounge access, suite upgrade awards, and more.
Bottom line
IHG is offering 1,000 bonus points for downloading the IHG One Rewards app for the first time. This is a solid promotion, so if you’ve never had the app before, be sure you download it to earn this reward.
Is this promotion enough of an incentive for you to download the IHG app (if you don’t have it already)?
How do they know if you just downloaded it or not? Actually they get a lot of benefit from upgrading themselves on their App store placement and other benefits. For 1000 points I think few will take advantage of this.
Edward Snowden is their shadow CTO, Julian Assange is their shadow CIO. They know everything.
Jokes aside, it's the sign in that gives it away.
Some blogs (not here) actually forgot mention the 'sign in', the most important part of this offer.

Do you use the IHG App
Shady. Should give 2000 points to those who already use and support the app.
Nothing shady, just like cable or phone companies, and surprise?, credit cards.
They don't care about current customers.
Shouldn't Amex give me 150k points, or 80k from Chase, for my 4k spend every 6 months because I already use and support their card for decades?
