I don’t recommend buying points just to fatten your account balance. However, with a specific use in mind this promotion can be very handy. For example, the overwater bungalows of IC Bora Bora Thalasso (French Polynesia, retails at ~$1000 USD/night), can be redeemed only for 60K points – $345 USD under this promo.

OR, my favourite IC Danang (Vietnam), can be redeemed for 50000 points (retail price ~$500 USD/nt) which cost ~$299 USD under this promotion.

Also, don’t forget the ongoing IHG Accelerate 2017 – 100% bonus promotion can be leveraged to meet the points purchase requirement.

Do purchased points count towards elite status for ihg?

Purchased points dont count towards elite status but award stays do – When you redeem points for stays, they count as qualifying stay towards elite status.

Transaction is processed by points.com so does not qualify as hotel/travel expense. No bonus with ihg cc. But 10% refund on award redemption with that card 🙂 Cheers!
