IHG Rewards has launched a buy points Flash Sale at a 100% bonus with an increased limit valid for purchases made through June 10, 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 100% bonus:
The price at the 65% bonus is 0.5 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.
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 remain low after introducing 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).
