You may have heard of OpenTable<\/a> – it is a restaurant reservation service that collaborates with many restaurants globally. I’ve used it once many years ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As an incentive, OpenTable offers you some reward points when you make a reservation and attend, which you can exchange for things like money-off coupons. It has however, also tied up with IHG so that you can earn IHG points instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IHG’s landing page for this offer is here<\/a>. This is part of IHG’s Trip Extras<\/em> scheme that focuses on non-hotel travel services including dining, car rental and other tourist packages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are many participating restaurants in the UK. Here’s a snapshot of them near Leicester Square:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You earn 500 points for your first booking, and 150 points afterwards. It is not much, but still a nice add-on if you’re going to dine anyway. According to some reports on the internet late last year, these points are also elite qualifying<\/strong>, so could be handy if you are a few points short to reach IHG elite status and don’t have stays planed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remember though, that the restaurant will need to confirm your OpenTable booking for you to earn points, so no-shows won’t work.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
