IHG Rewards has launched a buy point 48-hour long Flash Sale at a 100% bonus until June 30, 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.
You can check your personalized IHG Rewards buy points offer here.

Price at the 100% bonus:
The price at the 100% 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).

Is anyone else getting an error while trying to purchase the points? Once I put in the credit card information and click pay now, it says “There was a problem with your authentication information”. Have tried different cards, all get same message.
I got the same and then realized I had forgotten to put in the three digit code. Fixed that and then made my purchased.
IHG points are deflating faster than the US $ with this dynamic pricing… What used to be 50,000 points is now 80,000… Good luck with your points purchase if you are not using all the points immediately.
