If you’re a frequent traveler or loyal to IHG stays, there’s a sweet new offer running through March 31, 2026 that helps you level up your status or your points balance — fast.
The Offer — Your Choice of Benefits
From now through March 31, 2026, eligible IHG One Rewards members can choose either:
Instant upgrade to Gold Elite status
OR
**Up to 10,000 bonus IHG One Rewards points
The benefit you get depends on your current status and eligible qualifying stay(s) during the offer period.
How It Typically Works
- Log into your IHG One Rewards account
- Check the offer tile (on the IHG app/website)
- Opt-in (if required)
- Complete the necessary stay(s) before March 31, 2026
- Get either:
- Instant Gold status, or
- Up to 10,000 bonus points
In many cases, just one qualifying stay is enough to trigger the welcome benefit — though exact criteria can vary by member and offer communication.
Why This Is Valuable
Gold status perks include:
Priority check-in / later checkout
Bonus points on stays
Room upgrades (when available)
Exclusive member offers
10,000 bonus points can be enough for a free night at many IHG hotels, or go toward bigger reward stays when combined with your existing balance.
