About

Each night gets a value grade from Poor to Exceptional, with a fair baseline of about €45 per 10,000 points. Flexible-date and destination search surfaces unusually valuable reward nights, and a daily points drops list highlights nights that became cheaper in points. Hotels and dates can be tracked with value history, and booked points stays are monitored so you can see whether a lower points price has appeared.

From the founder

Who it's for

“Travellers who book IHG One Rewards hotels and want to know whether spending points or paying cash gets them more value, without checking rates by hand.”

Why I built it

“I am an indie founder in Dublin. I kept wondering if my IHG points were worth using on a given night, so I built a tool that compares points prices with cash rates across hotels and dates. Not affiliated with IHG.”

— Leo Z, Dublin, founder of IHG Points Finder

FAQ

How much are IHG points worth?

In our live check on October 31, 2026, across 3,953 priced nights at 1,101 hotels in 59 of our 62 featured cities, the middle value was about 0.58 US cents per point, or $58.00 per 10,000 points. The value changes by hotel and by night, which is why checking your own dates matters.

How many IHG points do you need for a free night?

A typical IHG reward night cost 25,000 points in the same check. Half of nights were between 20,000 and 36,000 points, and the cheapest was 6,000.

Should you buy IHG points?

Only for a specific stay where the cash price is clearly higher than what the points cost you to buy. In our Oct 31, 2026 check, about 1 in 18 reward nights (216 of 3,953) were better paid in cash, so check the night before you buy.
