Price at 80% Bonus:
The price of a point under the 80% bonus is the usual 0.56 US cents each.
Conclusion
You can sometimes save significantly by buying points and using them for rewards, especially if you have a co-branded card in the US that offers a fourth night free.
There are several offers available right now for buying points with variable bonuses, but not all members are eligible.
If your bonus is less than 100%, I would wait for a better sale to surface, unless you need some points right now.
Here are the terms and conditions of this offer:
This Offer is available for qualifying purchases of IHG One Rewards points made between 12:00 AM ET on April 25, 2025 and 11:59 PM ET on May 3rd, 2025 (“Offer Period”). Members will receive a bonus of 80% of the points purchased when they purchase a minimum 5,000 points purchase threshold on a per transaction basis.
There is a minimum points purchase threshold on a per transaction basis to be eligible for a bonus. The percentage bonus amount will show for eligible members when they log into their IHG One Rewards account. (Please click through to access the landing page for the Offer.)
The number of points a member may purchase, gift, or receive as a gift during the Offer Period is subject to annual limits under the IHG One Rewards Membership Terms and Conditions, which are available on www.ihg.com. Members may purchase a maximum of up to 200,000 points during a calendar year, so the number of points a member can purchase during the Offer Period will depend on how many points the member had already purchased during the same calendar year. For example, if a member had previously purchased 50,000 points in 2025, then the member could only purchase up to a maximum of 150,000 points during the Offer Period and would be eligible to receive the applicable percentage of additional bonus points under this Offer based only on the amount of points purchased during the Offer Period.
Similar limits apply to gifting points and receiving points as a gift: members may gift up to a maximum of 200,000 points, or receive as gifts from other members a combined maximum of up to 200,000 points, during the Offer Period, subject to reduction by the number of points that have been already gifted, or received as a gift, in the same calendar year. If a member purchases points that exceed the 200,000 points threshold for 2025 then they cannot purchase points for the remainder of the calendar year.
Purchased points, as well as any bonus points awarded under this Offer, do not count towards IHG One Rewards Elite status. This is an exclusive, non-transferable offer for intended recipients only and may not be forwarded. Offer is subject to change and cannot be combined with any other offer. Price includes all fees but subject to applicable taxes. Purchased points are not refundable and are applicable toward all IHG One Rewards redemptions. Please allow up to 72 hours for points to post and appear in the recipient’s account. All other IHG One Rewards Membership Terms and Conditions apply.
