  • Wondering if this will stack with the following:

    3x MR points via Rakuten
    875/1250 AA miles
    Double/Triple base point promo from IHG
    14x IHG Rewards Club CC offer via Chase
    Plus standard 50% base point boost from IHG status
    3K bonus for 2nd or 3rd stay using IHG CC as part of the IHG promo

    In total, a $100 (before taxes) stay at a Holiday Inn could net:
    300 MR points
    875 AA miles
    1500 IHG (base points w/ 50% status boost), 3000 (if hitting the Double offer), 4500 (if hitting the Triple offer)
    1400 IHG points from Chase Credit Card offer
    3000 IHG points using IHG Credit Card (part of the Double/Triple promo from IHG)

    Total:
    300 MR points
    875 AA miles
    2900 IHG points (1st stay on 2x/3x promo), or
    7400 IHG points (2nd stay on 2x/3x promo), or
    8900 IHG points (3rd stay on 2x/3x promo)

    Using TPG assigned point/mile values ( 2cpp = MR / 1.4cpp = AA / 0.5cpp = IHG)
    $6 in MR points
    $12.25 in AA miles
    $14.50 / $37 / $44.50 in IHG points
    Total ROS: $32.75 (32.75%) / $55.25 (55.25%) / $62.75 (62.75%)

    Missing taxes, which you actually would get points earning for on the IHG credit card, but for simplicity's sake, I'll exclude them.

  • Added Staybridge, Candlewood, HIX, HI, and Kimpton yesterday, today Crowne Plaza and IHG offers appeared (weren’t there before)

  • What’s the point of such low point offers? Nobody is going to book a $200 stay just to get 2k IHG points. If you were already going to book it makes sense, but what do these companies gain in that case? Why not offer a decent amount of point that could actually impact someone’s spending behavior?

    • The pitch isn't stay or not stay, it is to lure you to the Holiday Inn Express from the Hampton Inn.

    • To my understanding, simplymiles is earning AA miles. Spending $200 and earning 2150 AA miles is a nice deal.

      • @guest_1179355 is right. The points/miles earned are AA and, for us, this doesn't conflict with other bonus streams. It's additional sweetener and in a channel that Marriott, Hyatt, Hilton and Wyndham don't have offers right now. Just a little extra attention for IHG's brands?
