IHG Rewards has launched a buy points Mystery Bonus Sale at up to a 90% bonus valid for purchases made through May 3, 2021.
IHG frequently sells its points (the maximum bonus is 100%), and members can now buy up to 150,000 (sometimes with an increased limit of 250,000) every calendar year before any targeted offers.

Price at the 65% bonus:
The price at the 65% bonus is 0.61 cents each when the maximum number is purchased.
Does it make sense to purchase points?
Purchasing points merely because they are on sale doesn’t make sense. If you have a good use for them, buying can lower the price of the stays considerably.
Usually, using points makes sense at the most expensive properties, during or when the paid rates are through the roof due to some events.
IHG recently moved to variably priced awards, and there have been some excellent deals lately by using points, although some of the best ones have already been “corrected.”
Conclusion
IHG awards are now more sensible, as long as the prices stay low, once they introduced the dynamically priced awards based on the cash price and demand.
It doesn’t make much sense to buy at any other bonus level than 100% (or 50% off), at which IHG sells its points somewhat fewer times nowadays (these used to be very frequent).

Interesting that you post this offer a few post after the one with the title “IHG Rewards Devalues Dynamic Award Pricing By 30%”
IHG is a crappy programme unless you live in Greater China region
Cancelling my IHG cards — complete BS with 30% devaluation overnight… Complete garbage.
