In 2019 IHG confirmed that variable point pricing (normally called dynamic pricing) was coming, but didn’t provide any additional details. It looks like IHG is now experimenting with dynamic award pricing on some Asian properties. For example the Regent Taipei is showing prices from 30,000 to 60,000 points per night depending on the dates. Due to COVID-19 I imagine it’s going to be difficult to get any meaningful testing data, but I suspect this is more about making sure the likely automated system works than booking numbers.
