IHG One Rewards has just launched a 15% off sale on award nights, which could save you quite a few points on a redemption, and could also improve the redemption possibilities for free night award certificates. This is initially open to those with a co-branded credit card, and should soon become available to other IHG elite members as well.
IHG One Rewards award night sale promotion
IHG One Rewards is offering select members 15% savings on award stays:
- You must book by September 21, 2026
- You must stay by November 2, 2026
- This offer is initially available to those with a co-branded IHG credit card, though in the coming days, it should be expanded to IHG elite members who don’t have a credit card as well
- The offer can’t be combined with the fourth night free benefit offered by IHG’s co-branded credit cards
- The 15% discount is offered at the time of booking (you should see both the original price and discounted price listed)
- This can also be applied to Points & Cash bookings, but only the points portion is discounted
If you have any upcoming travel plans, this offer is definitely worth keeping in mind. And if you have already booked any stays during the offer period but can still rebook, that could be worth doing.

This is a lucrative IHG offer that’s worth utilizing
This offer from IHG is potentially worth considering:
- Since IHG One Rewards largely has dynamic award pricing, you might as well redeem when there’s a further discount on redemptions
- This is even useful for those with IHG free night certificates; they can be used for properties costing up to 40,000 points per night without a top-off, so you could redeem at more expensive properties than usual with this offer
- I’d say the major catch here is the limited travel window, as you only have a period of several weeks where you can stay and take advantage of this

Bottom line
IHG One Rewards is offering a 15% discount on award stays. This is valid for bookings through September 21, 2026, and for stays through November 2, 2026. This is currently available to those with an IHG co-branded credit card, though that’s only “early access,” and in the coming days, this should be expanded to those with IHG elite status who don’t have a credit card. This could be a great time to make an IHG award booking with points or a free night certificate.
Do you plan on taking advantage of this IHG award discount?
just saved me 16k points, not exactly a massive windfall but i'll take it!
Not really so lucrative considering the mere 5 week stay window.
