Conclusion
The promotional period is shoulder season for the sunny destinations, so daily cash rates will be low. Make sure you compare before booking award stays. It is nice to see five interContinental resorts are included in this sale, and they generally represent good values.
If you are short on points, you can still buy IHG points through Daily Getaway at big discount. Using points purchased at 0.576 cent each, one-night at the InterContinental Cancun will cost just $86.40, a substantial saving compared to daily cash rates of about $200. The only problem is it will take some time before the points post, and there is no guarantee they would post prior to May 7. Alternatively, you can purchase IHG points directly at 0.7 cents per point, and those points usually post instantly.
