IHG Hotels released several programs that help its IHG Rewards Club members maintain their loyalty tier in 2021 or reach a higher one.
IHG is bringing back the lower qualification requirements for 2021 and will roll over all consumed nights from 2020 to 2021.

Double Elite Qualifying Points
IHG Rewards Club 2,000 Bonus Points For Every Two Nights January 20 – March 31, 2021
You earn 2,000 bonus points for every two nights that are also elite qualifying during the promotion that allows you to qualify under POINTS instead of NIGHTS. The offer is valid for stays between January 20 – March 31, 2021.
Conclusion
IHG uses a hybrid approach by rolling over all 2020 nights into 2021 while lowering the elite qualifying nights or points requirements by roughly 25%
Also, offering 1,000 bonus elite qualifying points for every stay consumed between January 20 – March 31, 2021, helps members qualify on points (read cash) over nights.
I’m spire elite and have not seen any rollover from 2020 as yet….roll over all consumed nights from 2020 to 2021…. I dont think this correct in your post. Hilton did but IHG was not about rolling over your 2020 consumed nights.
“Rollover Nights: All qualifying nights stayed in 2020 for Elite members will be rolled over into 2021 and count towards status earned in 2021. 2020 rollover nights will be automatically reflected in member accounts.”
Announcement that IHG sent us.
Thanks so much for the follow up. IHG is just so awful at posting points. Are we talking about the same thing though? Like what HIlton did will taking ALL my nights stayed in 2021 and roll them over to 2021 Qualification ? or is IHG only referring to the excess amount of nights you stayed over & above the amount required to maintain status to ‘roll over’ to 2021?
Didn’t get the rollover nights as well, guess I have to email them and ask why.
I saw this post yesterday and just received the IHG email with these announcements. Sounds like I’m in the same boat. I had about forty 2020 nights that should have carried over, but my tracker is at zero. You would think they’d have had all their ducks in a row when sending an email titled “Your 2021 IHG Rewards status & benefits are here,” but it is IHG. Wonder how long it will take to sort it all out.
I am Spire RA and currently my 2021 “Track to Elite Status” shows 0 points and 0 nights, which means that any rollover has not posted either.
