Got IHG One Rewards points sitting unused in your account? Whether you earned them through hotel stays, an IHG co-branded credit card, or transfers from Chase Ultimate Rewards, your IHG points have real cash value. At The Miles Market, we buy them directly: fast, secure, and with same-day payment. With one of the shortest expiration windows in hotel loyalty, do not wait.
IHG One Rewards is the loyalty program for IHG Hotels and Resorts, one of the largest hotel groups in the world with over 6,600 properties across 18 brands in more than 100 countries. From budget-friendly Holiday Inn Express and Staybridge Suites to upscale Crowne Plaza, Hotel Indigo, and Kimpton, all the way to ultra-luxury InterContinental, Regent, and Six Senses, every qualifying stay earns points in the same account.
Members earn points through hotel stays at any IHG property, spending on IHG co-branded credit cards including the IHG One Rewards Premier, spending through IHG dining partners, purchasing IHG points directly, and transferring points from Chase Ultimate Rewards at a 1:1 ratio.
IHG One Rewards has five membership tiers. Club is the base level for standard members. Silver Elite requires 10 qualifying nights per year. Gold Elite requires 20 qualifying nights. Platinum Elite requires 40 qualifying nights and includes complimentary suite upgrades and fourth-night-free on award stays. Diamond Elite requires 70 qualifying nights and includes the highest tier of benefits.
Important: IHG One Rewards points expire after just 12 months of account inactivity for standard Club members. This is one of the shortest expiration windows in hotel loyalty, shorter than Marriott Bonvoy (24 months), Hilton Honors (24 months), and World of Hyatt (24 months). Elite members at Silver tier and above are exempt from expiration. If you are a standard Club member and your account has had no qualifying activity in the past year, your entire balance is at risk.
IHG's 12-month inactivity window catches more members off guard than any other major hotel program. Most competitors give you 24 months. IHG gives you 12. If you have not earned or redeemed a single IHG point in the last year, your balance may already be within weeks of disappearing permanently. IHG does offer a reinstatement service but it comes with a fee, is not guaranteed, and the policy can change at any time. Selling before expiration converts an at-risk balance into guaranteed cash with no dependency on IHG's reinstatement process.
IHG One Rewards points are worth approximately 0.5 to 0.6 cents per point for hotel redemptions according to TPG's March 2026 valuations and NerdWallet's May 2026 analysis. This is among the lowest valuations of any major hotel loyalty program. Even cherry-picking the best available IHG awards, Frequent Miler's May 2026 data confirms that most members cannot reliably exceed 0.65 cents per point. Selling your points for cash often returns comparable or better value without requiring you to find the right property, dates, and availability.
IHG does not have blackout dates but does apply capacity controls on award nights. Not every standard room is available for award redemption on every date. Popular properties and dates regularly sell out of award availability before cash rooms. If the property you want is not available on points when you need it, holding your balance and hoping availability opens carries real expiration risk.
Many IHG members accumulated points during heavier hotel travel years that no longer reflect their current lifestyle. If you are staying at different chains, traveling less, or simply have no upcoming IHG stays planned before your expiration date, your points have no realistic redemption path. Cash gives you complete flexibility.
IHG uses fully dynamic award pricing. There is no published award chart. Point costs for the same property can change significantly from one search to the next based on demand. Selling now locks in today's cash rate before the next pricing adjustment.
IHG One Rewards points are worth approximately 0.5 to 0.6 cents per point for hotel redemptions according to NerdWallet's May 2026 analysis and TPG's current valuations. The cash value you receive when selling through The Miles Market reflects real market demand for your balance, not a fixed conversion rate.
Here are estimated cash values at current market rates: 50,000 points are worth approximately $200 to $300; 100,000 points are worth approximately $400 to $600; 200,000 points are worth approximately $800 to $1,200; and 500,000 points are worth approximately $2,000 to $3,000.

Most sellers fall into one of these categories: occasional IHG guests approaching the 12-month expiration deadline with no upcoming IHG stay planned; credit card holders who transferred Chase Ultimate Rewards to IHG and have no specific redemption in mind; business travelers whose companies have moved to a preferred hotel chain; members who accumulated points during heavier travel years and now stay elsewhere; anyone frustrated by award availability limitations or the unpredictability of dynamic pricing; and points optimizers consolidating multiple hotel loyalty balances into cash. If you also hold Marriott Bonvoy points, Hilton Honors points, or Hyatt points, we buy all of those too.

Not ready to sell? Here is an honest look at your options. You can redeem for hotel stays, which is the intended use of IHG points and delivers the best redemption value at 0.5 to 0.65 cents per point on average, though dynamic pricing and capacity controls mean the property and dates you want may not always be available on points. If you hold the IHG One Rewards Premier, Premier Business, or Traveler credit card, you can use the fourth-night-free benefit on four-night award stays, which effectively reduces your per-night point cost by 25 percent and is one of the strongest use cases in the program. You can transfer to airline miles through IHG's 30+ airline partners, though the standard ratio of 10,000 IHG points to 2,000 airline miles is generally poor value compared to a cash sale. You can also transfer points to another IHG One Rewards member, though IHG charges a fee of $5 per 1,000 points transferred, which reduces the value further. Or you can let them expire, which is the worst outcome: 12 months passes faster than any other major hotel program, and IHG does not guarantee reinstatement. For members who will not realistically redeem before expiration, selling delivers stronger and more certain value.
