A few readers have sent in e-mails asking when a new IHG accelerate offer will be posted. The current offer runs from May 1st until July 31st, 2018. Separating IHG accelerate offers into quarters actually makes things confusing as the quarter dates are:
- First quarter, Q1: 1 January – 31 March (90 days or 91 days in leap years)
- Second quarter, Q2: 1 April – 30 June (91 days)
- Third quarter, Q3: 1 July – 30 September (92 days)
- Fourth quarter, Q4: 1 October – 31 December (92 days)
IHG accelerate offers seem to run on the following dates:
- First promo: January 1st and April 30th, 2018
- Second promo: May 1st until July 31st, 2018
- Third promo: September 1st and December 31st
Even the above isn’t super accurate, in 2016 the third promo ran from September 6 – December 15th. For whatever reason the month of August doesn’t seem to get any promotion. I suspect the next IHG accelerate offer will come out in the first half of August like it did last year.
Any update on q3 accelerate offer ? As we are now we’ll in to august ?
I hope they come up with something, I have 30+ nights coming up in September.
Likewise. I keep checking but nothing shows up as of 8/30.
Details were released 2 data ago. I’m annoyed by the low offer. I got over 100k points last q. Now, I’m gonna get less than half that.
Agreed. As a Platinum Ambassador, earned with my own money, I don’t like the lack of loyalty IHG is exhibiting toward customers.
I seem to recall that last summers’ accelerate ran until the end of August? I know because I hit all of my targets and one target was to visit 4 separate countries which I did in August! I could be wrong?
I spoke to a IHG rewards customer service member on the phone who told me the new program will be rolled out on August 1st, which I understood as registration will begin today. Not sure what the official start date for earning will be… Keep your eyes open, it should be available soon.
IHG doesn’t offer accelerate promotion during Aug and after 15 of Dec, the reason is quite obvious, summer holiday and Xmas, busy time of the year with hotels with high occupancy.

It appears the “easy like summer” offer is the IHG promotion for the summer months, ending on Sept 16. I would imagine the next accelerate offer will run Sept-Dec.
