New IHG promo? Heavy discount on reward nights

It appears that a new IHG promotion has just come live.

I’m expecting an announcement from IHG soon, but here’s what I find:

• Available from October and runs through 2022 and 2023
• Not all hotels / all dates are available
• Fixed reward night pricing for participating properties by brand:
  • Kimpton – 45,000 points
  • Regent / InterContinental – 35,000 points ~ 45,000 points
  • Voco / Even / Hotel Indigo – 30,000 points
  • Crowne Plaza – 25,000 points
  • Holiday Inn / Holiday Inn Express – 20,000 points

Needless to say it’s most worthy of spending your points ta Kimpton, Regent and InterContinental hotels. The InterContinentals at London and Amsterdam cost 40,000 points per night:

The ones at Maldives and Bora Bora are even cheaper at 35,000 points:

I don’t have any travel plans at the moment, but might as well make some speculative bookings just in case.
