IHG Cyber Monday: free 500 points and 48% off Iberostar

IHG’s Cyber Monday deal is out. The 20%-off sale is, to put it mildly, a lacklustre, but there are fortunately a couple of worthwhile offers.

[App Bonus]

There’s an easy 500 bonus points to win. All you need to do is register, (re-)download the app and sign in. The terms have no mention of first-time app users, which would otherwise disqualify most people. I am able to register to the offer successfully. (Edit: terms do suggest first-time app download only…)

[Iberostar Sale]

IHG’s Cyber sale only takes 20% off the best flexible rate, and it’s non-refundable, which is laughable. Iberostar on the other hand is much more interesting:

• Book by November 28th
• Stay by October 31st in the Americas, or December 20th in other regions
• Maximum discount of 40%
• 8% additional discount if logging in with your IHG account

So you can get up to about 48% discount, almost half price at Iberostar hotels, which is a great deal. Even better, after applying the discount the best flexible rate is still flexible as you can see from the image above. There are also half-board and all-inclusive options.

[Points & Cash]

The Points & Cash offer is also back: book the Points & Cash rate at any IHG hotel for stays between Jan 1st and February 29th and save 15% off the cash component.

It could, indirectly, be a great way to buy cheap IHG points, sometimes under 0.5c per point. There are some deals this round but seems to have all sold out already, but I’ll report back if find anything new.
