IHG One Rewards: 2× Points From Your 2nd Stay Onwards — Double the Value in 2026

In a new global promotion, IHG is offering double points (2× base points) for IHG One Rewards members — starting from your second stay onwards.

Here’s what you must know:

:white_check_mark: What’s the Deal

  • Promotion Period: Stays from 1 January – 31 March 2026 qualify.
  • How it works: First paid stay during the period gets regular base points; from second paid stay onwards, you earn 2× base points.
  • No cap on bonus — unlimited stays during the promo period can earn double points.
  • Qualifying stays only: Must be paid nights booked directly via IHG at participating hotels — award nights don’t count.

:light_bulb: Why It’s Worth Noting

  • Helps you stack points quickly if you have multiple stays planned in early 2026 — e.g. vacations, business travel, weekend getaways.
  • Double base-points means stronger “points-per-dollar” return — good value if IHG stays are already part of your travel plan.
  • Useful for reaching elite-status goals or accumulating reward-night redemptions faster.
