You can access this offer on IHG’s website here.

Note that the terms state (Google Translate) that the booking must have been made using “Member Exclusive Price” that is not prepaid and that the promotion is only open for IHG Rewards members in Greater China (based on the account address).

Conclusion

Let’s hope that IHG Hotels brings back this same offer for Europe and Asia-Pacific once the peak of the pandemic is over.

You have to do the math whether it makes sense to pay the non-prepaid rate, if discounted prepaid one is available, to earn the double points.
