Just like in September and October, the InterContinental Hotel Group (IHG) continues to role out enticing opportunities for guests when redeeming IHG Rewards at select properties around the world.

Earning IHG Rewards is easily accomplished with stays at Holiday Inns, Crowne Plaza, and other various brands around the country. However, the best option to kickstart the balance of your account is via the Chase IHG Rewards card. A single credit card with $1,000 spend within the first three months will warrant an 80,000 point bonus. The standard offer is only 60,000 points on the card.

With all the points in hand, one can then see the potential of being able to reserve rooms starting at 5,000 points through the Points Break program, and then the Flash sales, as highlighted below.

Flash Sale Details

The sale starts at 10:00 AM EST today and will last for 48 hours. Discounted IHG Rewards room reservations are valid for stays between November 20 through December 20, 2013.

In Conclusion

While I think lots of the IHG hotels are way overvalued in terms of points required, both the Flash Sales and Points Break programs allow guests the chance to really take advantage of discounted stays using points.

In my experience, there is no special link to use to qualify. If your stay falls within the time frame of this promotion, visiting each properties respective page will show the discounted rate.
