IHG Reward Club has released new Australia, New Zealand & Oceania bonus points package offers for stays between July 1 to September 30, 2014.
You must book the special Bonus Points-package rate to be eligible for extra points. The rate plan is usually more expensive than the lowest discounted rates.
You can access this offer in IHG’s website here.

Conclusion
You have to calculate if the extra points in lieu of lower price makes sense. Most of the time the answer is definite no, but may work for those that want to quickly qualify for Gold/Platinum status (or someone else is paying for your hotel bill).
