IHG One Rewards Milestone Rewards give you a reward choice at 20 qualified nights in a calendar year and again every 10 nights through 100. You choose the reward yourself, and you have 90 days after reaching a milestone to pick it.
How Milestones Work
- Milestones: 20 nights, then every 10 nights through 100.
- Which nights count: qualifying nights, which include nights paid for with cash, with Points + Cash and with points.
- The calendar year: IHG's member terms say Milestone Rewards are earned on Elite Qualifying Nights for the calendar year of your check-out date. Rollover Nights count toward elite status only, not toward Milestone Rewards.
- Bonus nights: Bonus Elite Night Credits may count toward Milestone Rewards in some cases, depending on the partner offer's terms.
- Choosing: you have 90 days to select a reward after reaching a milestone, and selections are final.
- Transfers: IHG says benefits and Milestone Rewards aren't transferable.
