Free Hotel Nights? IHG Just Made It Easy


Itinerary Boss Insider

Hey Reader,

(32 second read)

IHG just brought back some of its strongest elevated offers, including a massive 200,000-point bonus on the business card. Whether you’re planning your next trip to Lisbon, Costa Rica, or anywhere in between, these limited-time bonuses can stack you with enough points for multiple free nights.

🏨 IHG One Rewards Premier Business Credit Card

Offer: Earn up to 200,000 Bonus Points — 140,000 points after $4,000 spend in 3 months, plus 60,000 more after $9,000 total spend in 6 months.
Ends: Thursday, October 23, 2025, at 9:00 AM ET.
What’s changed: Matches the April limited-time offer.

What I like:

This one’s a powerhouse for entrepreneurs and side hustlers. The spending thresholds align nicely with normal business expenses, and you’ll have enough points for luxury stays across Europe or even a week of mid-tier redemptions.

🧳 IHG One Rewards Premier Credit Card

Offer: Earn 165,000 Bonus Points after $3,000 spend in 3 months.
Ends: October 23, 2025, at 9:00 AM ET.
What’s changed: In January we saw 170,000, but with higher spend. This is easier to hit and fully in points (no certificates).

What I like:

The Premier card strikes the right balance between strong earn rates, annual free night, and automatic Platinum Elite status. If you want a card you can actually keep long-term for perks like the 4th night free, this is the one.

🛏 IHG One Rewards Traveler Credit Card

Offer: Earn 2 Free Nights + 40,000 Bonus Points after $2,000 spend in 3 months (free nights capped at 50K points each).
Ends: October 23, 2025, at 9:00 AM ET.
What’s changed: Excellent elevated offer on this no-fee card, but we still prefer the Premier for ongoing benefits.

What I like:

If you’re new to hotel cards or just want to test the waters, this no-annual-fee option is a great entry point. The combo of two free nights and points can easily cover a long weekend getaway.

💭 Final Thoughts

IHG continues to offer some of the most flexible hotel redemptions in the game, especially when you combine the 4th Night Free benefit with off-peak pricing. These elevated bonuses could easily translate into a week of free stays if you plan strategically.

If you’ve had your eye on refreshing your hotel strategy, these are solid all-around offers worth considering, just don’t wait too long. All three end Thursday, October 23, at 9:00 AM ET.

Safe travels,

Itinerary Boss Insider Hey Reader, (1 minute 7 second read) Hope everyone had an incredible Thanksgiving and got some well-deserved downtime with the people who matter most. We kept it low-key in Charlotte, amazing sides, plus steak and lobster for Thanksgiving dinner, which was definitely a fun twist on the usual.
