IHG credit card offers valuable annual benefit through anniversary night certificate

"For example," said an article from TPG dated Mar 14, 2025, "for a stay on Dec. 2 [at Kimpton De Witt in Amsterdam], I could redeem 40,000 points or pay $282.91 for a reservation that I can cancel for free up until a day before my stay. "

There are various ways to use an IHG anniversary night certificate. Regardless of how it is used, it typically provides at least $99 in value. For instance, staying at an airport hotel before an early-morning flight or after a late-

night arrival will likely cost more than $99 even if it requires fewer than

40,000 points. Additional points can also be added from your account to use the certificate at more expensive properties if needed.

The anniversary night certificate must be redeemed and completed within twelve months of issuance by IHG.
