Last week I wrote about a sale on awards that IHG is doing on some of its all inclusive resorts and other properties. The nice part about this sale is that it’s a sale on AWARD stays. I thought I’d write a reminder as you need to book by May 2nd (Monday) and stay by June 12th.

Using points at an all-inclusive resort can be a pretty good way to maximize your points. If you look at something like the Holiday Inn Resort® Montego Bay, a 1 night stay for 4 people costs $202, or 17,500 points
That’s 1.15 cents per point, which is a pretty good redemption for an IHG point. If you look back at the Daily Getaways from two weeks ago, you could buy 75,000 points (enough for 4 nights) for $443, compared to paying $808! You can actually get it a bit cheaper as you can manufacture IHG points as low as 0.6 cents per point, which would count those 75,000 points for as low as $420.
Good luck out there and happy booking!

Thanks for the heads up. Never knew the promo. Just saved 75K points by rebooking my 5 award nights at IC Cancun.
That is AWESOME! I’m so glad this hooked you up. My referral fee is only 10%….. 🙂
Thanks Dan for the reminder! (still deciding between Los Cabos, Cancun, & Montego Bay — so many great choices — would have been a shame to miss out for forgetting a deadline)
ps, I’m really ticked at John O at loyaltylobby for his sneering put down of all of us who do ms…. (relating to that bloomberg hatchet job)
