Terms and conditions of this offer:
To be eligible for the IHG® Business Rewards 2X Points offer (“Offer”), a person must be an IHG® Business Rewards member, which includes acceptance of the IHG® Business Rewards Program Terms and Conditions, and the member must have registered for the Offer. By clicking “register now” in connection with the promotional materials for the Offer, a member is registering for the Offer and agreeing to these terms and conditions. Once an IHG® Business Rewards member has registered for the Offer, the member can earn double points on Qualifying Spend for all stays, meetings, and/or events that are booked during the period from 1 March 2023, through 30 June 2023 (“Booking Period”) and completed during the period from 1 March 2023 through 31 August 2023 (“Offer Period”). Additional details on Qualifying Spend are provided below. The time needed for awarding points can vary with each promotional offer; so please allow up to six weeks for any earned bonus points to be posted to the recipient’s account.
For this Offer, earning “2X” or “2X points” or “double points” on stays or events booked and completed within the applicable periods as set forth above means the total number of regular “base points” and promotional “bonus points” combined will equal two (2) times the base points the member would normally receive just for being an IHG® Business Rewards member. Therefore, under this Offer, the member can earn three (3) base points for every $1 USD of Qualifying Spend and an additional three (3) bonus points for every $1 USD of Qualifying Spend, for a total of six (6) points for each $1 USD. The first three (3) base points earned are considered Elite-Qualifying Points that count towards the IHG One Rewards Elite status. The additional three (3) bonus points awarded as part of the Offer are not Elite Qualifying Points.
Points awarded under this Offer are based on Qualifying Spend within the Offer Period only. There is no limit on the number of stays, meetings, or events that may be booked under the Offer, but a maximum of 120,000 total points (which is the amount that would be awarded for $20,000 in Qualifying Spend) can be earned on any one qualifying stay, meeting, and/or event covered by this Offer, including all guest room bookings and other Qualifying Spend linked to such stay, meeting, and/or event. Spend for stays, meetings, and/or events that were booked outside of the Booking Period or that were not completed within the Offer Period will not qualify for 2X points under this Offer. Additional information on Qualifying Spend is available in the IHG® Business Rewards Program Terms and Conditions.
