IHG One Rewards has a pair of promotions available right now. The newest offer gives you unlimited double points on stays in the first quarter of 2026, and this promotion is now live. This offer is excellent news for anyone planning trips between January and March.

Let’s take a look at these offers to see how they can make your next IHG stay more rewarding.

Double IHG Points on Stays in 2026

IHG One Rewards members can earn unlimited double points on stays between January 1 and March 31, 2026. This offer requires registration.

Only stays after registration will qualify for double points, and your room rate must be at least $30 per night to qualify for this promotion. Stays can be just 1 night using this offer, but here’s the bad news: You’ll only start earning double points on your second stay during this promotion.

Since IHG members usually earn 10 points per $1 spent, this offer turns that into 20x earnings. The bonus earnings for IHG elite members aren’t doubled; only the base earnings are doubled.

Is It Worth It?

Should you go out of your way for double points? Probably not. We value IHG points at 0.5 cents each, so the double earnings under this offer mean you’ll get 10 cents worth of points for every $1 spent — a 10% return on spending.

That sounds nice, but are you paying more to unlock these earnings?

If you’re already planning stays with IHG in the first few months of 2026 or find a great deal on a hotel, you should definitely take advantage of this promotion. However, it’s worth checking prices at other hotels at your destination. If IHG is charging more, do some quick math to see if you’re spending more to earn these points than what the points are worth in the end.

Final Thoughts

IHG announced this double points promotion in late 2025, and this offer is now in effect. You can earn unlimited double points on stays in the first few months of 2026, starting with your second stay.

Remember that registration is required for this offer, and only stays after registration will qualify. This offer applies to stays through March 31, 2026, and you can take advantage of it as often as you’d like.
