IHG last month launched its seventh Buy Points Bonus Sale for 2026, offering a 100% bonus and an increased purchase limit (600K with bonus) that ends tomorrow (October 5).
IHG frequently sells its points, with a maximum bonus of 100%. Members can purchase up to 200,000 points annually, and the purchase limit may be increased to 250,000, 300,000, or higher (check your account for details).

Price at 100% Bonus
The price of a point under the 100% bonus is the usual 0.5 US cents each.
Conclusion
IHG has these buy points offers almost monthly, and you can sometimes buy up to 600,000 points (as is the case here).
IHG’s points requirements are all over the map, so you need to do the math to see when it makes sense to pay for the stay or buy points and then use them.
0.5 US cents per IHG point is the lowest price they sell them for throughout the year.
Here are the terms and conditions of this offer:
This Offer is available for qualifying purchases of IHG One Rewards points made between 12:00 AM ET on September 15, 2026 and 11:59 PM ET on October 5, 2026 (“Offer Period”). Members will receive a bonus of 100% of the points purchased when they purchase a minimum 5,000 points purchase threshold on a per transaction basis.
There is a minimum points purchase threshold on a per transaction basis to be eligible for a bonus. The percentage bonus amount will show for eligible members when they log into their IHG One Rewards account. (Please click through to access the landing page for the Offer.)
The number of points a member may purchase, gift, or receive as a gift during the Offer Period is subject to annual limits under the IHG One Rewards Membership Terms and Conditions, which are available on www.ihg.com. Members may only purchase a maximum of up to 200,000 points during a calendar year, so the number of points a member can purchase will depend on how many points the member had already purchased during the same calendar year. However, during the Offer Period, members may purchase a maximum of up to 300,000 points. For example, if a member had previously purchased 50,000 points in 2026, then the member could only purchase up to a maximum of 250,000 points during the Offer Period and would be eligible to receive the applicable percentage of additional bonus points under this Offer based only on the amount of points purchased during the Offer Period.
Similar limits apply to gifting points and receiving points as a gift: Members may purchase a maximum of 300,000 points during the Offer Period only. Members may gift a maximum of 300,000 points or receive as a gift from another member a combined maximum of 300,000 points during the Offer Period only. Points that have been already purchased, gifted or received as a gift in 2025 are included in the 300,000 points limit. Outside of the Offer Period, if a member purchases points that exceed the 200,000 points threshold for 2026 then they cannot purchase points for the remainder of the calendar year.
Purchased points, as well as any bonus points awarded under this Offer, do not count towards IHG One Rewards Elite status. This is an exclusive, non-transferable offer for intended recipients only and may not be forwarded. Offer is subject to change and cannot be combined with any other offer. Price includes all fees but subject to applicable taxes. Purchased points are not refundable and are applicable toward all IHG One Rewards redemptions. Please allow up to 72 hours for points to post and appear in the recipient’s account. All other IHG One Rewards Membership Terms and Conditions apply.
