Amex has just launched a new targeted offer spending at select IHG properties in the US and its territories, and while this offer doesn’t cover some of IHG’s more upscale brands, the saving on offer should still be useful and relatively simple to lock in.
The promotion entails spending $250 and receiving $50 back at select IHG properties in the US. This offer is valid for a limited time from 3/14/2024 to 6/15/2024. To qualify for the offer, customers must use their enrolled eligible Card to make a minimum of $250 in one or more purchases on room rate and room charges at participating IHG Hotels & Resorts US properties.
Key terms of the offer include adding the offer to the Card and using the same Card for redemption, limiting one enrolled Card per Card Member across all American Express offer channels, and the offer being valid only at participating IHG Hotels & Resorts in the US and US territories. The offer excludes gift cards, electronic gift cards, and stays paid for before or after the promotion dates.
The offer is limited to one statement credit per Card Member, with the credit appearing on the billing statement within 90 days after 6/15/2024. Customers must make reservations directly through IHG online, by phone, or through the IHG merchant mobile app. The offer is only valid on room rate and room charges in US dollars.
While the offer is restricted to lower-tier IHG brands, it provides a valuable opportunity for customers to save on their stays. The flexibility of not requiring a single transaction to reach the spending threshold and the extended timeframe of the promotion make it accessible to a wider range of customers. Additionally, the offer has been widely targeted to all Membership Rewards cards, both consumer and business, indicating its broad availability.
However, the limitation to specific IHG brands and properties may disappoint customers looking to stay at higher-end locations. Furthermore, IHG Rewards credit cardholders will need to forego earning points on their IHG card to take advantage of this offer.
Customers can maximize the offer by splitting their final bill across two cards if their spending exceeds the $250 threshold. Overall, the offer presents a valuable opportunity for targeted cardholders considering a stay at select IHG properties before the middle of June.
In conclusion, Amex’s targeted offer for stays at select IHG properties in the US and US Territories presents a lucrative saving opportunity for customers. By carefully reviewing the terms and conditions of the offer and selecting a credit card that maximizes earnings for travel and hotel stays, customers can make the most of this promotion. Be sure to check your American Express accounts to see if you have been targeted for this offer and plan your bookings accordingly to benefit from the savings.
