Conclusion

Let me repeat that the best that you can do with IHG Rewards Club points is to use them for free nights at IHG affiliated hotels. If you have more points that you have no idea what to do with, you can certainly redeem for some gift cards and/or merchandise.

Few years ago, IHG run a Any Hotel Anywhere promotion that allowed you to purchase Amex lodging cards at a discount. I spent more than a million point for more than $8,000 worth of these cards that I used to pay for stays. I have not seen anything even remotely as good way to use IHG points for non-hotel stays ever since.
