IHG is running a promotion in conjunction with a number of its New York properties in which it’s discounting the price of an award night by 25%.

There’s nothing particularly complicated about the promotion:

• Book and stay through 30 April 2019
• Participating Hotels:
  • EVEN Hotels Brooklyn – 40,000 30,000 points
  • EVEN Hotels Midtown East – 45,000 35,000 points
  • EVEN Hotels Times Square South – 50,000 40,000 points
  • Hotel Indigo Brooklyn – 40,000 30,000 points
  • Hotel Indigo Lower East Side – 55,000 45,000 points

These may not be the most upscale hotels IHG has to offer in New York but that doesn’t mean that there aren’t some good deals to be had here – New York can be an expensive place to stay.

A random weeknight in March sees the EVEN Times Square offering $193.03 + taxes as its cheapest rate while the same room can be booked for 40,000 points.

The full cost of the room comes out to over $250 for the night…

…which means that an award booking on this night would see a guest getting 0.63 cents of value out of each point used….which isn’t bad for a currency I value at just 0.4 cents/point and that is regularly on sale at 0.5 cents/point.

On a randomly selected April weekend nigh the cheapest IHG property in Manhattan is the EVEN Hotels Midtown East which can be booked for 35,000 points…..

…or $179.55 + taxes and fees:

$234.53 isn’t a terrible rate for a centrally located property on Manhattan but the 35,000 points that an award night would cost would still see a guest getting 0.67 cents of value out each IHG Rewards point used…and that’s not bad.

Note: I could have used the EVEN Hotels Brooklyn as an example of a great redemption for the same April night as it’s currently charging $306.80 + taxes for a night where 30,000 points will book the same room (well over 1.0 cent/point of value)…..but this wouldn’t have been a valid comparison – how may visitors to New York will be paying $306.80 + taxes to stay in Brooklyn when they can pay $193.03 and stay on Manhattan? 🙂

Bottom Line

If you need to book a stay in New York between now and the end of April this promotion is well worth considering – the properties on offer aren’t InterContinentals or Kimptons but the deals can be pretty good nonetheless.
