Basically you can buy additional points as an add-on to your stay, and these points are <strong>elite-qualifying<\/strong>. In addition to earning more points, they could also help you achieve higher status sooner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are two limitations though:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>They are only available on (member-discount) best flexible rate, with or without breakfast<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Prices ain&#8217;t typically attractive<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That said, there are occasional offers which makes it a much better deal. To find out, go to the hotel&#8217;s rate plans page, and select a best flexible rate. You should see a pop-up like this:<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.verylvke.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/05\/ihg-bonus-points-package-pop-up.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.verylvke.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/05\/ihg-bonus-points-package-pop-up.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-15809\" width=\"400\" height=\"199\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.verylvke.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/05\/ihg-bonus-points-package-pop-up.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.verylvke.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/05\/ihg-bonus-points-package-pop-up-300x149.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.verylvke.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/05\/ihg-bonus-points-package-pop-up-768x381.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The image above shows an pretty solid deal &#8211; you pay only $11 for 5,000 points, which usually sell for $25 under their half-price sales. If you cancel the reservation within the permitted window you won&#8217;t be charged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It&#8217;s hard to find great deals though. Thanks to my friend @zaozaoba, here are a list of select hotels that offer the best bonus points packages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Japan <a href=\"https:\/\/www.verylvke.com\/hix-osaka\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" title=\"\">Holiday Inn Express Osaka City Centre<\/a> &#8211; $18<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Thailand <a href=\"https:\/\/www.verylvke.com\/hotel-indigo-phuket-patong\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" title=\"\">Hotel Indigo Phuket Patong<\/a> &#8211; $10<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Thailand <a href=\"https:\/\/www.verylvke.com\/intercontinental-bangkok\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" title=\"\">InterContinental Bangkok<\/a> &#8211; $7<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Thailand <a href=\"https:\/\/www.verylvke.com\/intercontinental-hua-hin\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" title=\"\">InterContinental Hua Hin Resort<\/a> &#8211; $7<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>India <a href=\"https:\/\/www.verylvke.com\/holiday-inn-new-delhi-mayur\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" title=\"\">Holiday Inn New Delhi Mayur Vihar Noida<\/a> &#8211; $10<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Australia <a href=\"https:\/\/www.verylvke.com\/hix-brisbane-central\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" title=\"\">Holiday Inn Express Brisbane Central<\/a> &#8211; $13<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Australia <a href=\"https:\/\/www.verylvke.com\/holiday-inn-darling-harbour\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" title=\"\">Holiday Inn Sydney Darling Harbour<\/a> &#8211; $13<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Australia <a href=\"https:\/\/www.verylvke.com\/intercontinental-double-bay\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" title=\"\">InterContinental Sydney Double Bay<\/a> &#8211; $12<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>New Zealand <a href=\"https:\/\/www.verylvke.com\/voco-auckland\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" title=\"\">voco Auckland City Centre<\/a> &#8211; $1 (3,000 points)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>New Zealand <a href=\"https:\/\/www.verylvke.com\/hix-queenstown\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" title=\"\">Holiday Inn Express &amp; Suites Queenstown<\/a> &#8211; $14<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>UAE <a href=\"https:\/\/www.verylvke.com\/voco-dubai\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" title=\"\">voco Dubai<\/a> &#8211; $11<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Qatar <a href=\"https:\/\/www.verylvke.com\/holiday-inn-ottawa-hill\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" title=\"\">voco Doha West Bay Suites<\/a> &#8211; $9<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>South Africa <a href=\"https:\/\/www.verylvke.com\/hix-cape-town\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" title=\"\">Holiday Inn Express Cape Town City Centre<\/a> &#8211; $3<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>South Africa <a href=\"https:\/\/www.verylvke.com\/voco-johannesburg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" title=\"\">voco Johannesburg Rosebank<\/a> &#8211; $6<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Canada <a href=\"https:\/\/www.verylvke.com\/holiday-inn-ottawa-hill\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" title=\"\">Holiday Inn: Ottawa Dwtn Parliament Hill<\/a> &#8211; $18<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Mexico <a href=\"https:\/\/www.verylvke.com\/hotel-indigo-guanajuato\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" title=\"\">Hotel Indigo Guanajuato<\/a> &#8211; $7<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Brazil <a href=\"https:\/\/www.verylvke.com\/holiday-inn-sao-paolo-parque\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" title=\"\">Holiday Inn Sao Paulo Parque Anhembi<\/a> &#8211; $7<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Unless otherwise states, the $ prices are for 5,000 points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The list above is by no means exhaustive, and you can play with IHG&#8217;s website to dig more. As you can see, you could pay as low as $1 to buy 3,000 points &#8211; very impressive!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can only buy maximum 5,000 points per night though so it&#8217;s not a quick or substantial way of buying points. However, if you have travel plans and don&#8217;t mind paying the best flexible rate, it may be worth checking out the bonus points package.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you are an IHG frequent, the name Bonus Points Package is probably no stranger to you.
