How much are IHG points worth?
Based on our valuations, IHG points are worth 0.7 cents per point on average when redeemed for free nights at IHG brand hotels. This means that 10,000 IHG points are equal to about $70 in value towards free night awards.
Here's our breakdown of IHG points value based on redemption:
Redemption option | IHG point value (in cents) |
---|---|
Award Nights | 0.7 |
Point Transfers To Partners | 0.2 - 0.4 |
IHG Rewards Catalog | 0.2 - 0.3 |
Gift Cards | 0.19 - 0.2 |
Free night awards: 0.7 cents per point.
IHG Points can be redeemed for free nights at IHG brand hotels all over the world. This will give your points an average value of 0.7 cents each, though it can be higher or lower depending on the redemption.
The IHG Rewards program does not have an award chart, so you will not know how much your points are worth until you start booking your award stay. You'll then be able to compare the cash price to the award price and calculate the value of the redemption.
IHG 4th night free benefit
IHG's 4th night free benefit allows you to book a 4-night consecutive award stay at an IHG hotel for the cost of 3 nights. Not only will this benefit automatically bump up the value of your IHG points, it will also help save you tons of points as you'll be able to enjoy longer vacations at a less cost.
The only way to partake in this marvelous perk is by being an IHG credit cardholder. As a cardholder, the free night will display automatically when booking a stays that has 4 or more consecutive night stays.

Point transfers to airlines: 0.2 cents to 0.4 cents per point.
IHG Points can be transferred to over 30 airlines. The transfer ratios vary depending on the program, but most transfers are 10,000 IHG Points for 2,000 airline miles which comes out to 1 airline mile for every 5 IHG Points.
Transferring IHG points to partners isn't the best use of points, but it can be useful if you're a few miles short of a redemption and need to top off one of your frequent flyer accounts.
IHG Rewards catalog: 0.2 cents to 0.3 cents per point.
IHG Points can be redeemed on the IHG Rewards Catalog for merchandise. This will give your IHG Points a value of around 0.2 to 0.3 cents per point, but there's are instances in which you can get lower or higher depending on the item.
There's lots of things to choose from ranging from Electronics and Garden to Fashion and Kids. I only recommend going this route if you're trying to clear out your IHG Points since the value is more than half the average value when used for free nights.
Gift cards: 0.19 cents to 0.2 cents per point.
IHG Points can be redeemed in the IHG Rewards Catalog for gift cards. There's over 70 different gift cards that you can redeem your points for with redemptions start at 13,000 points for a $25 gift card.
