IHG offers bonus points to its members for stays around their birthday. You don’t have to stay on the day of your birthday to get the bonus points. In fact, you get 3 months to plan and complete your stay and still earn birthday bonus points.
Here’s how IHG Birthday Offer for bonus points works.
Around your birthday, IHG will email you a special link to register for your birthday offer. Once registered, you can earn 3,000 IHG One Rewards bonus points by completing a “Qualifying Weekend Stay” within the 90-day period following registration. This stay should be of a minimum 2 nights.
This Qualifying Weekend Stay can be at any participating IHG Hotels & Resorts brand, Mr. & Mrs. Smith properties, or participating Six Senses Hotels, Resorts & Spas. To be eligible for the bonus points, the stay must take place within the 90-day period immediately after registering for the offer.
Remember that not all Six Senses properties are IHG One Rewards participating. However, if you are booking via the official site or the app, it should be easy to figure out.
A “Qualifying Weekend Stay” is defined as a consecutive two-night stay at the same property that includes at least one room night on a Thursday, Friday, or Saturday.
The member who received and registered for the offer should book this stay under a Qualifying Rate, with a total spend exceeding $30 USD (or local currency equivalent) per night. I would assume that this rate is pre-taxes and any other fees. The way hotel prices are going up nowadays, this would probably be the least of your worries.
It is important to note that there may be variations in the specific terms of the offer received by you.
Conclusion
IHG offers 3000 bonus points for a weekend stay of 2 nights or more to members on their birthday. 3000 points are hardly worth changing your plans for.
However, if you are planning to stay at an IHG property around your birthday anyway, no harm in registering for the promotion. It’s good to see that IHG gives 90 days to members to use their birthday bonus offer.
