What happened
IHG One Rewards has extended its ninth 2026 mystery buy-points sale through November 10, with a personalized bonus of up to 100% on purchases of at least 5,000 points.
The exact bonus appears only after logging in. At a 100% bonus, points typically cost 0.5 US cents each. Purchases usually post within 72 hours and are not refundable. Neither purchased points nor the bonus count toward elite status. The offer cannot be combined with other promotions and is limited to intended recipients.
Most members can buy up to 200,000 points in a calendar year, though some accounts display a higher cap of 250,000 points or more. Remaining room depends on earlier 2026 purchases. US co-branded cardholders who receive a fourth night free on awards may get more value from buying points.
Sign in to confirm the bonus and remaining annual cap, then buy only against a stay that beats paying cash.
