Is It Worth It?

Free points are free points. If you’ve never downloaded the IHG app before, you should do so while someone is willing to reward you for that simple task.

We value IHG points at 0.5 cents each, making 500 points worth $2.50. That’s admittedly not much, and it’s not enough points for a free night award at any IHG Hotels.

If we look at this from the other side, there’s a good chance you’ll need or want the IHG app at some point in your life, assuming you might stay at an IHG hotel at least once in your life. Since you might download the app anyway, you might as well get something for that. Plus, the effort required for the bonus is minimal, and you don’t have to go anywhere to achieve it.

Final Thoughts

IHG just extended a super-easy promotion, offering 500 bonus points if you download the app for the first time and sign in to your account by the end of 2024. There’s not a lot of value in 500 points, but they’re points you don’t already have, and the effort required for earning them is minimal. Why not snag them?
