Last week IHG announced a flash sale, offering 25-75% off award redemptions at select properties. The sale is now in full swing, with a huge selection of hotels to choose from. There is a single Intercontinental property on the list, the InterContinental Aphrodite Hills Resort in Cyprus, which typically goes for 15,000 points per night. As part of this promotion, the hotel can be booked for 7,500 points per night. Not as great as a PointBreaks deal, but decent nonetheless.
There is a pretty huge selection of hotel at 75% off, including several Crowne Plaza hotels on the list. The sale applies to stays between October 8 – November 8, 2013.
Below is the list most of us care about – the properties marked down by 75%:
- Holiday Inn Express Poole
- Holiday Inn Edinburgh-City West
- Holiday Inn Express Los Angeles-LAX Airport
- Holiday Inn Express Middletown/Newport
- Holiday Inn Charleston-Riverview
- Holiday Inn Spearfish-Convention Center
- Holiday Inn Seattle
- Holiday Inn Macau
- Holiday Inn Express Mackinaw City
- Holiday Inn San Francisco-Intl Airport
If you have an upcoming stay, I’d book as soon as possible, as I imagine these hotels will book up fast. I’d avoid mass-booking speculatively, as some folks tend to do when the PointBreaks list comes out. If you’re short on IHG points, you can always transfer points from your Ultimate Rewards account.
If you don’t have definite travel plans, sit this one out. There’s always another great promotion around the corner.
