In June IHG Rewards Club rolled out its latest major promotion for summer travel, though at the time it was only valid for US-based members. This promotion has been improved, as it's now valid for members worldwide. This promotion is similar to the one…
The weekend night certificate issued as part of InterContinental Ambassador status just became more useful. IHG has a rather complicated rewards program structure. In addition to the IHG Rewards Club program that covers all of IHG's brands, InterContinental…
