InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG®) has announced the launch of its newest IHG® Business Rewards promotion, Double Play Double Points, offering members the opportunity to double the points they can earn on bookings made through participating IHG hotels worldwide.

To thank IHG® Rewards Club members for their loyalty, the new Double Play Double Points promotion means double rewards points can be earned on accommodation, meetings and events bookings (capped at US20,000) made throughout the promotional period of 1 January 2017 to 15 April 2017, for events and stays up until 31 August 2017.

That means for every US$1 a member spends on bookings up to a capped US$20,000, they earn six points (instead of three) and for members spending over this capped dollar amount, six points will be earned for every US$1 on the first US$20,000 spent, before reverting back to earning three points for every US$1 thereafter.

Double points can be accumulated on any spend. Examples of the double points to be earned are as follows:

• Spend US$2,000 and receive 12,000 Double Points
• Spend US5,000 and receive 30,000 Double Points
• Spend US20,000 and receive 120,000 Double Points

In addition to double points earned, members have the opportunity to reap richer rewards for high value bookings by earning an additional 35,000 supplementary points, with a minimum spending of US$20,000, on a single event or individual booking. There is no restriction on the number of high value bookings that can be made, and supplementary points will be received for each individual high value booking.

Samantha Llewellyn, Vice President, Customer Loyalty Marketing, Asia, Middle East and Africa, IHG said: “Starting from January 2017, we're introducing a new Double Play Promotion designed to provide even more value to our corporate bookers. We're always looking for opportunities to show our appreciation to our loyal corporate members, who we know will enjoy the benefits of being able to earn twice as many points when they book their meetings, events and stays with us.”

Members can look forward to enjoying greater benefits with their acquired promotional bonus points by redeeming them on a wide variety of options available in the IHG Rewards Club global catalogue.
