After a wave of targeted promotions from Hilton and Marriott, IHG is stepping up with a strong global offer for its members. If you’re planning hotel stays this autumn, the new IHG One Rewards “Up to 3X” promotion could be the perfect way to supercharge your points balance.
Promotion Overview
From October 1 to December 31, 2025, registered IHG One Rewards members can earn up to 70,000 bonus points. The earning structure is simple:
Stay 1: No bonus
Stay 2: Double points
Stay 3 and beyond: Triple points
That means the more you stay, the faster your balance grows, up to the 70,000-point cap.
👉 Important: Registration is required to participate. You can pre-register between September 16–30, 2025 or register anytime during the promo period.

How It Works in Practice
IHG calculates bonus earnings based on the base points you’d normally earn as a member. Elite bonuses and other promos are excluded from the multiplier.
Example: Spend $100 on a one-night stay.
- Base earn rate: 10 points per USD → 1,000 points.
- On your second stay (2X): You’ll receive an extra 1,000 bonus points, for a total of 2,000 points.
- On your third stay (3X): You’ll receive an extra 2,000 bonus points, for a total of 3,000 points.
Keep booking, and you’ll keep earning triple points until you hit the 70,000 bonus point maximum.
💡 Tip: To get the most out of this offer, consider making your first and second stays shorter or less expensive, then save your pricier stays for the third night and beyond, when you’ll be earning triple points.
What Counts as a Qualifying Stay?
To earn under this offer, your booking must meet these rules:
Minimum 1 night at a participating IHG hotel.
Room rate must exceed $30 USD (or local equivalent) per night.
Stay must be booked under a Qualifying Rate directly with IHG (not through OTAs like Expedia or Booking.com).
Reward Nights and Points + Cash bookings do not qualify.
Only one room per member per night counts.
Participating brands include the entire IHG portfolio, from InterContinental and Kimpton to Holiday Inn, with a few exceptions (such as limited benefits at Six Senses and some Iberostar resorts).
Why This Promotion Matters
With IHG promotions, the value is in stacking opportunities. While the first stay won’t earn a bonus, frequent travelers will benefit quickly once they hit the second and third stays. For those with multiple trips planned before the year ends, this is one of the most rewarding IHG offers in recent memory.
Seventy thousand bonus points can cover several nights at mid-scale properties or make a serious dent in a luxury redemption at brands like InterContinental or Kimpton.
Key Dates
Pre-Registration: September 16–30, 2025
Promotion Period: October 1–December 31, 2025
Last Date for Enquiries: February 28, 2026 (this is only the deadline to claim missing bonus points — you can’t earn points after December 31, 2025).
Conclusion
IHG’s new promotion is straightforward, global, and rewarding for members who travel more than once. If you already have trips lined up, registering is a no-brainer. Even if you’re planning just two or three stays, the extra points can add up quickly.
Don’t forget to register before your first stay—otherwise, those nights won’t count. And of course, nights booked at Gaja Dreams Hotels through IHG Destined also qualify for this promotion!
