What is the current bonus for purchasing IHG One Rewards points?

The displayed bonus is generally up to 80%, but the offer may be targeted, so the percentage can vary from one member to another.

How many IHG points can you buy during the promotion?

The cap is increased during the promo: you can buy up to 200,000 points (before bonus), which can yield up to 360,000 points in total with an 80% bonus.

Is buying IHG One Rewards points worthwhile?

It can be worthwhile if you have a specific booking and the cost in points (even purchased) is cheaper than the cash rate, especially at expensive hotels or during peak demand.

Which card should you use to pay for an IHG points purchase?

The purchase is processed by Points.com (often in US dollars), so a card with no foreign transaction fees is ideal to avoid about 2.5% in FX fees, such as the Scotiabank Passport™ Visa Infinite +* Card.
