All fare types qualify, including Basic, and you can book with cash, points, or Cash+Points. After travel, you'll earn a promotional Companion Pass valid January 5 through March 3, 2027, allowing a companion to fly for just taxes and fees starting at $5.60 each way.

IHG Points & Cash: 15% off cash portion equals 0.51c/point, book by Aug 24.

IHG's targeted Points & Cash sale knocks 15% off the cash portion, effectively pricing purchased points at 0.51 US cents each — among the lowest we've seen. Remember, IHG doesn't offer true Points & Cash; they sell you points at booking that you then redeem as a full award. Cancel the stay and those purchased points return to your account, but the cash is gone. This is a decent way to top off your IHG balance if you've hit the annual purchase limit, with bookings due by August 24 for stays through September 7, 2026.

the play

Book a Points & Cash stay by August 24 if you need IHG points at 0.51¢ each or have a specific redemption in mind, but only if you're certain of the dates since the cash portion is non-refundable.
