Starting next week August 24, 2015, InterContinental Hotel Group (IHG) will be discounted some of their properties by 50% off when using your points! This includes select properties in Mexico, the Caribbean, and Central America. This is for stays booked August 24 through September 9, 2015 and travel from September 1 through October 31, 2015.
Participating properties include:
- InterContinental® Presidente Cozumel Resort & Spa, Mexico
- InterContinental® Presidente Cancun Resort, Mexico
- InterContinental® Playa Bonita Panamá, Panama
- InterContinental® Cartagena, Colombia
- Crowne Plaza® Acapulco, Mexico
- Holiday Inn® Cartagena Morros, Colombia
- Holiday Inn Resort® Aruba, Aruba
- Holiday Inn Resort® Acapulco, Mexico
- Holiday Inn Resort® Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands
- Holiday Inn Express® Cartagena Bocagrande, Colombia
- Holiday Inn Express® Puerto Vallarta, Mexico
- Holiday Inn Express® Cabo San Lucas, Mexico
So while this is a short 2 months timeframe, if you have any plans to stay at these hotels, 50% off is great! However, this is very off peak time for these areas so a paid reservation might be extremely cheap as well.
Easy ways to get IHG points to top off an award stay:
- Transferring points from Chase Ultimate Rewards – You can transfer your Chase UR points at a 1:1 ratio. Although not my preferred transfer partner as you can get a better value by transferring to other loyalty programs, if you need to top off an award it can be worthwhile.
- Purchasing IHG points – Through a roundabout method, you can purchase points at .7 cents per point. To do this you must make a reservation using the “Cash & Points” option (so you must have enough points in your account for that reservation) and if you cancel the reservation you will get the “Cash” portion back in points. The “Cash” portion of your reservation is essentially buying points at .7 cents per point. Obviously not good for those that want the cash back, but good for those that want more points for “cheap”. You can learn more about this method here.

Thanks for the info! Colombia is actually South America, not Central.
