Unlike some of the other bonus mile offers we have seen with IHG over the past year this one doesn’t price out outrageously higher. In fact in several searches we found it prices the same as the best flexible rate. This rate is higher than the member only rate however depending on how you use the miles it can be more than worth it to go for them. Here are two examples, a Holiday Inn in Anaheim California where the rate is about $6 more per night which means you would be spending US$12+tax to earn those 1,000 bonus miles. In another search at a Holiday Inn in Calgary Alberta the rate was about $5 more per night or C$10+tax to earn those miles. In this case you’d effectively be buying the miles for less than a US penny each. That’s not bad at all. Of course you can go for the advance saver rate for a bigger discount but the cancellation rules are stricter and you are required to pay a deposit. If you know 100% that you’ll complete the stay then by all means book the advance saver rate!
