If you plan to stay at IHG hotels in the new year, you’ll be happy to know that IHG One Rewards is offering a lucrative bonus points promotion in January 2024. With this sweet rewards deal, IHG One Rewards members can earn double bonus points on stays between Jan. 1 and Jan. 31.
And as a bonus, to really kick off the new year, IHG One Rewards members living in the United States who register for this promotion will automatically be enrolled in an additional promotion offer. Members will receive an additional 2,000 bonus points after staying at two or more IHG brands throughout the month of January.
You must register for this promotion before checking out from your first stay; here’s what you need to know.

IHG One Rewards January 2024 promotion details
This IHG One Rewards promotion is relatively straightforward: All registered members will earn double bonus points for stays between Jan. 1 and Jan. 31. If you register for the promotion and reside in the U.S., you will automatically be registered for the “2K Brand Offer.” For this promotion, members will earn an additional 2,000 bonus points when completing stays at two or more IHG brands within the promotional period. The additional 2,000 bonus points will only be awarded one time.
Once you register, you’ll get a confirmation email titled “You are now registered for 2X points on every stay.”
Remember, members must register for this promotion before completing their stay; you can currently preregister for the IHG promotion, which we recommend doing so you don’t forget. The terms and conditions for this promotion define an eligible stay as “one (1) night stay at a participating hotel booked under a Qualifying Rate, with total spend exceeding US $30 (or local currency equivalent) for each night.”
If you book your stay using reward nights, points and cash or through a third-party booking agency such as Booking.com or Expedia.com, these will not qualify under the promotion’s guidelines.
In addition to IHG’s 2024 promotion, the hotel’s current deal is still active.
IHG One Rewards December 2023 promotion details
Members can earn 2,000 points for every two nights of eligible paid stays completed between Oct. 12 and Dec. 31. Plus, IHG is automatically enrolling members who register and have an eligible IHG credit card in an extra promotional offer for an additional 2,000 bonus points for every two nights.
The nights do not have to be part of the same stay to count. Preregistration for this promotion opened Sept. 27, so you may have already registered. But you must register for this promotion before checking out from your first eligible stay; here’s the link to register.
Plus, cardholders of select IHG credit cards — including the IHG One Rewards Premier Credit Card, IHG One Rewards Traveler Credit Card, IHG One Rewards Premier Business Credit Card and IHG One Rewards Select credit card — will be automatically enrolled in an extra promotion to earn an additional 2,000 bonus points for every two eligible nights stayed.
You’ll get an email titled “Surprise: You’ll be earning even more on stays” after you enroll in the promotion if you are eligible for the additional bonus points.
However, if you redeem IHG points, use an IHG anniversary night or book a points-and-cash stay, you won’t benefit from this promotion. And if you book more than one room on the same night, you’ll only receive bonus points for one room.

Bottom line
IHG’s newest promotion allows you to earn a good amount of bonus points in 2024; however, the promotional period is only for the month of January, which is definitely limiting for those who don’t have flexible travel schedules. But if you can stay at an IHG hotel, combining this promotion with bonuses from elite status and an IHG credit card is a great way to earn IHG points on paid stays. IHG members earn 10 base points per dollar spent at most IHG brands, and IHG elite members get bonus points based on their status tier.
I recommend registering now, even if you don’t have any upcoming IHG stays planned.
