IHG One Rewards is continuing its offer of a 15% discount on redemptions at selected new and refurbished hotels. The Elite card comes with a 30,000 points sign-up bonus, Platinum Elite status and 15 Elite Night Credits. The Essential card comes with a 10,000 points bonus, Silver Elite status and 5 Elite Night Credits. Some hotels above – especially the low budget Garner ones – have switched brands to join IHG, which means you won’t necessarily get a shiny fresh property. The Ruby properties are also not new – IHG recently bought the Ruby brand and is slowly integrating the hotels.
