IHG One Rewards has opened pre-registration for its final global promotion of the year, offering up to triple points on qualifying stays completed between 1 October and 31 December 2026. Pre-registration runs from 17 September to 30 September 2026, though members who miss that window can still register at any point during the promotion period itself. The important detail, and the one most people will skim past, is that the bonus does not start until your second qualifying stay. Your first stay earns nothing extra.

The earning tier is determined on a stay-by-stay basis, depending on which channel you used to make that particular booking.

Booking Channel	Earning	Applies From
IHG website and other IHG-owned direct channels	2X points	Second qualifying stay onwards
IHG One Rewards app (iOS, Android, HarmonyOS)	3X points	Second qualifying stay onwards
LINE (Japan, Taiwan, Thailand) and WeChat (mainland China)	3X points	Second qualifying stay onwards
Booking.com, Expedia and other third-party sites	No bonus, does not count as a qualifying stay	Not applicable

The multiplier is applied to base points only. For a one-night stay at S$100 with a 10 points per US dollar earn rate, you would collect 1,000 base points plus 2,000 bonus points at the 3X tier, for a total of 3,000 points. Elite status bonus points and any other promotional points you receive on the same stay are excluded from the calculation. There is no cap on how much you can earn, which is the genuinely good part of this promotion.

For a Singapore-based member, this is a reasonable but not spectacular offer. The structure quietly punishes the occasional traveller, because a single year-end trip to Bangkok or Tokyo earns you precisely nothing extra. You need at least two separate stays in the quarter before the promotion does any work for you, and the value compounds only if you are already putting a decent number of paid nights through IHG - just make sure you lock-in a cheap stay before going for the more expensive stays in order to fully benefit from this offer. The elephant in the room is that IHG's base earn rate is modest to begin with, so tripling it still does not put you in the same conversation as a strong Marriott Bonvoy or World of Hyatt promotion. That said, the earning is uncapped and registration costs nothing, so there is no argument for skipping it.

Two practical points. First, book through the IHG One Rewards app rather than the website, since the difference between 2X and 3X is decided purely by the channel and costs you nothing. If you are travelling to Japan, Taiwan or Thailand, LINE bookings earn the same triple. Second, if you have a stay planned in late September, consider whether pushing it into October makes sense so that it counts as your throwaway first stay and gets the bonus running earlier in the quarter. Register now, because pre-registration closes on 30 September 2026 and there is no downside to having it sitting on your account.
