Conclusion

It is a good idea for hotels to offer discounts for their loyalty program members to get them to wine and dine at hotels (prices are usually inflated compared to non-hotel outlets).

There are many paid dining plans in Asia-Pacific that offer 50% discounts for members, but you need to fork some cash first to buy a Club membership.

I like the idea of IHG offering discounts for F&B while earning points in the process, even when you are not staying.

Here are the terms and conditions of this dining discount:

The IHG® Rewards Member food and beverage discount is applicable at participating restaurants and bars at IHG® hotels and is available from 2 January 2020 to 30 December 2021 to all IHG® Rewards members dining at IHG® hotels located in India, Middle East, and Africa with or without a stay at the participating hotel.
