IHG Rewards Club has just released the bonus points packages for Europe for stays between December 1, 2013, and March 31, 2014.
Note that this requires you to usually purchase a higher rate than the lowest one available and it rarely makes sense from financial point of of view. If someone else is picking up the tap, then maybe.
You can access IHG’s web page for this offer here.

Conclusion
You have to calculate, if the extra points in lieu lower price, makes sense. Most of the time the answer is definite no.
