IHG Rewards Club has just launched its first major promotion of 2021. At first glance, the offer of 2,000 bonus points for every two nights stayed seems a bit lacklustre. However, in an interesting twist, those 2,000 points are also elite qualifying points.

Thoughts
This is the first global promotion from IHG Rewards for 2021. It’s an interesting promotion in that the points can be used for both rewards and to help maintain or build your status.
IHG Rewards has also announced its reduced status requirements for 2021. This sees the nights stayed in 2020 rolling into 2021, and the reduced requirement announced in 2020 continuing into 2021. Combining all those offers could allow a boost in status.
