There's a targeted Amex Offer that gives you $50 back when you spend $250 or more on IHG hotel stays, and you have until December 31, 2026 to pay for the stay. You have to enroll first, and the booking has to go directly through IHG.
Deal Details
- The offer: $50 back after you spend at least $250 at select IHG properties, in one purchase or several.
- Deadline: the stay has to be paid for by December 31, 2026.
- Where it works: participating IHG Hotels & Resorts properties in the United States, Canada, Mexico, the Caribbean, the UK, Japan and Germany. Some properties are excluded, and Amex keeps the list in its offer terms.
- How to book: directly with IHG.
- What doesn't count: gift cards, reservations partially paid for with IHG One Rewards points, and purchases of IHG One Rewards points.
- Targeted: it only shows up on some cards, and enrollment is required.
How to Take Advantage
- Open the Amex Offers section on each of your Amex cards and look for the IHG offer. Add it to the card you plan to use. Our guide to how card-linked offers work at each issuer covers where to find them.
- Book your stay directly with IHG, and check that the hotel isn't on the excluded list.
- Pay at least $250 on the enrolled card by December 31, 2026. Several smaller charges can add up to the total.
Why This Deal Matters
The spend requirement adds up across transactions, so you don't need one big bill to hit $250.
Who Should Act
This one suits you if you have a paid stay at a participating IHG hotel in the listed countries, booked directly with IHG, and the offer appears on one of your cards. Skip it if you're booking through a third-party site, paying partly with points, or staying somewhere on the excluded list. Add the offer now and pay for the stay by December 31, 2026.
