Your Dine & Earn points will be added to other IHG points you get from other activities, such as staying at a participating hotel, using a credit card that earns IHG points, or scoring points with another credit card and transferring them to IHG Rewards. Dining at IHG Rewards Dine & Earn participating restaurants helps you earn IHG points, but you can also rack up significantly more rewards by opening a credit card that offers IHG points for spending.
