<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nYou can read more about the offer here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I saw a mention of my Diamond status when making a dummy booking, although from the terms and conditions the promotion doesn’t appear targeted.<\/p>\n\n\n Unlike the similar feature that other hotel groups offer (e.g. Marriott and Hilton), IHG’s Points & Cash works very differently. When making such bookings you are basically just paying cash on the spot to buy the points you need, therefore it’s a pure reward booking by nature and you don’t earn any points for the cash portion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n That said, the offer may bring along a good opportunity to bag some cheap IHG points. The Two InterContinental Alliance hotels at Macau – The Londoner<\/a> and The Venetian<\/a> – for example, are “selling” points for as low as 0.5c<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n If you cancel a Cash & Points booking, the cash portion won’t be refunded, however the full amount of points are deposited back to your account. Note that however, such bookings may be non-refundable on certain dates<\/strong>, so read carefully before proceeding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 0.5c (or $5 per 1,000 points) is as low as IHG goes when selling points via public promotions. Cash & Points can actually go even lower at times – in fact some hotels in China were doing 0.48c but it only survived a couple of hours. If you are dedicated enough, you can play around a bit and see if you can spot any better deals.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" IHG has brought back its Points & Cash sale, and if you’ve been thinking about topping up your IHG account, you are looking at the right place.
