It’s that time year again, where Intercontinental Hotel Group is trying to drum up trade with a flash sale for the next five days (Until 1st February 2019).
The sale is restricted to IHG Rewards Club Members (and let’s face it – the majority of you should be members by now). It covers hotels in the UK and Ireland – however, you’ll need to dig into the
The offer is simple: it’s up to 30% off the Best Flexible Rate.
If you want to take advantage of offer requires advance booking made between 3-28 days depending on the participating hotel, for stays between 31 January 2019 to 30 April 2019.
You will also need to book via an IHG direct channel (e.g., their site) to take advantage of the rates (so you can’t use your normal consolidator to get these rates). I checked an example at the Holiday Inn Birmingham (Smallbrook Queensway), and the reductions are loaded there.
£56 on the sale rate, £68 on your rate advance, £77 on Best Flexible Rate. Your mileage will vary.
With this sort of promotion, there is value to be had if you’re planning a stay in the UK. If you’re taking part in the IHG Accelerate bonus programme too, this should be a qualifying night/nights in your objectives too.
Check before you book
This could be a rather profitable trip if you plan it right, and take advantage of the rates – but check the hotels in the area are taking part in the promotion.
If you’re using this to gain a few extra nights in your stay objectives – this promotion could pay for itself in gained points.
But please run the numbers first.
