If you’re looking to move up to a higher tier or requalify for IHG elite status, a new promotion could help you out. IHG One Rewards is offering double elite qualifying nights through July 31, 2025.

Before you get too excited, know that this offer is targeted, meaning not everyone will be eligible, and the number of bonus nights you can earn is limited. Here’s what you should know if you’re interested.

IHG Double Elite Nights Promotion — Details

IHG One Rewards is offering double elite qualifying nights to select members, and there are 2 versions of this offer. Check your emails to see if you were targeted for the ability to earn up to 5 or up to 10 bonus elite nights by receiving credit for 2 nights after every 1 night you stay.

If you don’t have the emails, you can try to enroll for the 5 nights offer here or the 10 nights offer here.

Earning double elite qualifying nights can halve the nights you need to spend in hotels to earn IHG elite status this year. This offer applies to stays through July 31, 2025.

There are some limitations to this offer, however. First, you’ll need to be targeted, and not everyone will be. Additionally, you can earn a maximum of 10 bonus elite qualifying nights with this offer — assuming you have the better offer. Otherwise, you might be limited to earning 5 bonus elite nights.

A further limitation is that you can only earn double elite nights on paid stays. Award stays using points won’t qualify. Neither will stays using Points + Cash or stays costing less than $30 for your room rate.

Hot Tip:

IHG offers a status match and other shortcuts to elite status regularly, so watching for those can provide another way to reach your elite status goals.

Is It Worth It?

If you’re looking for IHG elite status and need some help making it happen, this promotion should make you happy. That’s doubly true if you already have stays planned between now and July 31, as you could now earn double nights on up to 10 nights stayed during that period.

The limitations of this promotion mean it’s not a slam dunk for everyone. You can’t shoot to the top tiers of IHG One Rewards elite status from this offer alone, as you can earn a maximum of 10 bonus nights. If you’re going to jump on this offer, you’ll best maximize it with inexpensive stays, given that it requires paid nights for double stay credits.

If you weren’t planning to pursue IHG status without this offer, pursuing it just because of this offer won’t make sense, given its limitations.

For reference, here’s how many elite nights you normally need for IHG status each year:

Silver Elite: 10 nights
Gold Elite: 20 nights
Platinum Elite: 40 nights
Diamond Elite: 70 nights

What if You Weren’t Targeted?

If you aren’t eligible for these targeted offers, there’s another option for earning double elite nights this summer. This public offer is available for 14 properties in Japan, and you can earn 5 bonus elite nights for every 5 nights you stay from July 1 to August 31, 2025.

You can earn a maximum of 15 extra elite nights with this offer, and you must register before your upcoming stays.

Final Thoughts

IHG has a targeted promotion for double elite qualifying nights. Eligible guests can earn up to 5 or up to 10 bonus nights, depending on their offer. Eligible stays run through July 31, helping you quicken your progress toward your IHG status goals in 2025.
