What is a Verified Guest?
To best serve our guest community, we only display reviews from verified guests. Our verification process involves requesting a few pieces of information, including last name, hotel confirmation number and check-out date, which we use to confirm instantly that a reviewer has been a guest of the hotel he or she wishes to review.
I am trying to use the confirmation number I received while booking my stay on a non-IHG website (example: Orbitz, Expedia, Travelocity), but am unable to log in.
Third-party websites often provide you with confirmation numbers associated with their websites rather than confirmation numbers associated with the IHG reservation system.
If you have a copy of the bill given to you when you checked out of the hotel, you can find your IHG-specific confirmation number there. Otherwise, you will need to contact the hotel at which you stayed to obtain your IHG-specific confirmation number.

A "stay" or "night" is qualifying when paying qualifying room rates. See the IHG One Rewards Membership Terms & Conditions for more details on qualifying stays.

Occasionally, there are IHG One Rewards promotions that offer points only, so if you are a miles earner you will earn points on these offers. This information will be clearly displayed in the promotion details.

What are the benefits of being an IHG One Rewards member?
To view the benefits of being an IHG One Rewards member, please view our Member Benefits page.
Diamond Elite members can choose Free Breakfast as their Welcome Amenity at Check-in. What does this include? How does it work?
As part of the Welcome Amenity choice at Check-In, Diamond Elite members can have the additional choice of a free daily hot breakfast for the member and one registered guest staying in the same room. For example, at a participating property that has a full-service restaurant, a Diamond Elite member and their registered guest would each receive a choice of one main menu item with unlimited non-alcoholic beverages OR full buffet with unlimited non-alcoholic beverages. Hotels reserve the right to exclude certain menu items, such as alcoholic beverages or specialty coffee, from the free breakfast benefit.
This benefit is available at full-service and select-service brands (REGENT, InterContinental, Vignette, Hualuxe, Hotel Indigo, voco, Crowne Plaza, Even, Holiday Inn, and Kimpton).

Platinum Elite and Diamond Elite members can stretch their points further with access to exclusive and limited time discount promotions on Reward Nights, or nights they book with IHG One Rewards points, subject to eligibility.
What are Elite Rollover Nights?
Gold Elite, Platinum Elite and Diamond Elite members can earn status faster by rolling extra Qualifying Nights over to the next year.
For example, if a Gold Elite member stayed 25 Qualifying Nights in 2022, they would earn Gold Elite status for the 2023 calendar year. However, Gold Elite status only requires 20 Qualified Nights, so the additional 5 nights that the member stayed over and above the Gold Elite qualification, will be rolled over in their account and count towards their progress to the next Elite tier in 2024. Please note that rollover nights can only be carried over one-time into the following year.
How does a hotel determine if Late Check-Out is available?
Our hotels do their best to accommodate requests for Late Check-Outs, however Late Check-Out availability does depend on available rooms and housekeeping resources, so extending Check-Out may not always be possible.
Can members gift their IHG One Rewards benefits to someone else?
No, all benefits are non-transferrable. Find full Reward Nights Terms and Conditions in here.
What are Milestone Rewards?
Milestone Rewards offer a new way for members to choose rewards that matter most to them. Members can make a Milestone Reward benefit choice every 10 Qualifying Nights, starting at 20 Qualifying Nights, according to the chart on the Member Benefits page.

Members can earn towards Milestone Rewards benefit choices on Qualifying Nights, including Reward Nights and Free Nights, within the calendar year (note that Rollover Nights do not count towards Milestone Rewards benefits). The Milestone Rewards benefits choices tracker will reset every year on January 1. Members are able to track their Qualifying Nights activity for Milestone Rewards benefit choices in their IHG One Rewards account in either the IHG One Rewards app or website. Once a milestone is reached, members have 90 days to select a Milestone Rewards benefit choice on the IHG website or IHG One Rewards mobile app. If a Milestone Rewards benefit is not selected within 90 days, the Milestone Rewards benefit choice for that milestone expires and will no longer be available.

This benefit is available at all IHG brands except avid hotels, Atwell Suites, IHG Army Hotels, Holiday Inn Club Vacations, and Six Senses properties.

How does the Confirmable Suite Upgrade work?
Members can book a stay for up to 5 nights through IHG's website or mobile app on a qualifying base rate. In order to use their Confirmable Suite Upgrade, members must then call IHG Customer Care at most 14 days and at minimum 24 hours prior to check-in to request their Confirmable Suite Upgrade. The IHG Customer Care representative will confirm if there is suite availability for the member's requested stay dates and upgrade their stay to a suite. Once the upgrade is confirmed, the member will receive an updated reservation confirmation email. If there is not suite availability for the member's requested stay dates, the IHG Customer Care representative will offer a premium room alternative, which the member can accept or choose to decline. If they decline, their Confirmable Suite Upgrade will remain valid and they can choose to apply it to a different stay. Confirmable Suite Upgrades are available for use on Reward Nights.
Can members use a Confirmable Suite Upgrade and an Ambassador Guaranteed Upgrade for the same stay?
No, Ambassador, Royal Ambassador and Kimpton Inner Circle members will need to choose which type of suite upgrade they want to use for their stay. For example, if an Ambassador member has redeemed their Confirmable Suite Upgrade for an upcoming stay, they cannot request their Guaranteed Ambassador Upgrade upon check in for that stay.
Why can’t members redeem Confirmable Suite Upgrades via the app?
We know suite upgrades are one of the most important benefits for our members and we continue to work on ways to improve the benefit availability. At this time, Confirmable Suite Upgrades must be redeemed by calling IHG One Rewards Customer Care.
What is the difference between a Complimentary Upgrade (subject to availability) and a Confirmable Suite Upgrade?
Complimentary Upgrades are offered to Platinum Elite and Diamond Elite members, subject to availability, and are assigned by the hotel team at check-in, also they provide an upgrade to the next best available room, which is not always a suite.

Can members gift their Milestone Rewards to someone else?
No, Milestone Rewards are non-transferable.
How are hotels’ point amounts determined?
The amount of points that IHG® One Rewards members must redeem for a Reward Night at a given hotel flexes up and down just like cash rates. These fluctuations are based on a variety of factors including, but not limited to, Best Flexible Rate, demand, brand, location and day of the week.
How often can a hotel's point amount change?
Point amounts by hotel can vary daily just like cash rates. For a multi-night stay, you will see an average point amount and daily point amounts just like cash bookings.
Once a member books a Reward Night could the point requirement ever change?
Once a booking is made, that member will lock in the required point amount. While the hotel's point requirement could go up or down post booking, this will not affect the member's original booking.
How far in advance can you see the point pricing for hotels?
You can search and book all hotel rates up to 50 weeks in advance, including rates for Reward Nights. Note that participating Iberostar Beachfront Resorts can be searched and booked up to 2 years in advance.
If a guest books a Reward Night and then the point amount decreases, can the guest recoup the difference?
The only way to get a lower point rate that appears after you have already booked a Reward Night is to cancel your existing booking and try to rebook it at the new point amount. Reward Nights are subject to availability, though, so a Reward Night rate could become unavailable before you are able to rebook a canceled reservation.
How do variable Reward Night point amounts impact the IHG One Rewards Credit Card “Redeem 3 Nights, Get the 4th Night Free” benefit?
Premier, Traveler and Business Premier U.S. Chase Credit Cardmembers can redeem the 4th night free for any stay of 4 or more consecutive nights regardless of the 4th night’s point amount.
Which hotels can IHG One Rewards Credit Cardmembers book using their Anniversary Free Night benefit?
Because the Reward Night point prices are variable, the hotels at which a member can use an Anniversary Free Night, which is valid for Reward Nights priced at 40,000 points or less, will likely depend on the member’s desired booking dates. For a list of hotels that may not be available please visit our Anniversary Night page.
IHG One Rewards Premier and Business Premier Credit Cardmembers also have the option of adding points from their IHG One Rewards account to redeem at hotels whose redemption value is higher than 40,000 points.
Will I earn points or miles on Reward Nights?
When staying on a Reward Night, you will not earn points or miles on the room rate or room rate equivalent; however, you may earn points or miles for all other Eligible Charges. “Eligible Charges” can include food and beverage, telephone, laundry, and in-room movies charged to a member's room. Eligible Charges can vary by hotel brand and location.
Who is eligible for Reward Night discounts?
Eligible Platinum Elite, Diamond Elite and IHG One Rewards credit cardholders may receive exclusive access to select discounts on Reward Nights at participating hotels. Eligible cardmembers will have early access to Reward Night discounts.
Can I use a combination of points and cash on a Reward Night reservation?
The IHG One Rewards Points & Cash function enables you to redeem a combination of your existing points and points purchased at the time of booking, to book a Reward Night.
Points & Cash Reward Nights may be redeemed on the IHG One Rewards website, the IHG One Rewards App, or by calling IHG Reservations.
If I cancel a Reward Night reservation that was made through the Points & Cash program, can I get a refund?
If a Reward Night booked using the Points & Cash function is cancelled in accordance with Reward Night terms and conditions and within the hotel's cancellation policy, all points, including the points purchased at the time of booking, will be redeposited into your IHG One Rewards account.
