Terms & Conditions

To participate in the "Iberostar Beachfront Resorts up to 80K points offer" Promotion (the “Promotion”), an individual must have an active, valid IHG One Rewards member account and must register for the Promotion. Members can pre-register for this Promotion starting February 1, 2024 through February 19, 2024 (the “Pre-Registration Period”). Members will be able to stay at participating Iberostar Beachfront Resorts and earn IHG One Rewards bonus points under this Promotion beginning February 20, 2024 and ending on May 20, 2024 (the “Promotion Period”). Members who did not register during the Pre-Registration Period may register for the Promotion during the Promotion Period. A member can only register once. By registering for the Promotion, a member is accepting these Terms & Conditions.  

 

After registering for the Promotion, a member can earn 40K points after staying 4 qualifying room nights at participating Iberostar Beachfront Resorts, and they can earn  up to two times during the Promotion Period. To be a qualifying room night under the Promotion, the room night must fall within the Promotion Period and must be part of a Promotion Eligible Qualifying Stay.  As stated, the “Promotion Period” is from February 20, 2024 through May 20, 2024. Room nights outside of the Promotion Period are not included, and room nights that are part of a stay that was completed prior to registration for the Promotion also are not included. For purposes of this Promotion, a “Promotion Eligible Qualifying Stay” is defined as a minimum one (1) night stay at a participating Iberostar Beachfront Resort booked under a Qualifying Rate, with total spend exceeding US $30 (or local currency equivalent) for each night. Stays booked using Rewards Nights or Points & Cash are not Promotion Eligible Qualifying Stays for purposes of this Promotion. Bookings made through on-line travel agencies or other reservation sites such as booking.com or expedia.com also do not qualify under this Promotion.  (For additional details on Qualifying Rates, please see the full IHG One Rewards Membership Terms and Conditions.) If more than one member who registered for the Promotion checks into the same room, only one member is eligible to earn points under the Promotion for those nights that qualify.  If a member books more than one room on the same night, the member will receive credit towards this Promotion for only one of the rooms that also meets the requirements of a qualifying room night under the Promotion.  

 

For the Iberostar Beachfront Resorts up to 80k points offer, earning “up to 80k bonus points” on stays through May 20, 2024 means the member could earn the total of their “base points” they would normally receive just for being an IHG One Rewards member plus an additional 40K points every 4 nights – which they can earn up to two (2) times. For example, under the Iberostar Beachfront Resorts up to 80k points promotion, for a four-night Qualifying Stay with a room rate of $100.00 at an IHG hotel with a 10 points per USD earn rate for base points, the member would earn 4,000 base points (10 points x $400 = 4,000 points) and an additional 40,000 promotional bonus points, for a total of 44,000 points. Any Elite status bonus points or any other bonus or promotional points the member may be eligible to receive for the same stay are not included in this calculation.

 

A member’s participation in the IHG One Rewards program and this Promotion is subject to the standard IHG One Rewards Membership Terms and Conditions, which can be obtained here or by visiting ihgonerewards.com. The bonus points awarded through this Promotion are not Elite status qualifying under the IHG One Rewards program. IHG One Rewards benefits are generally available at all IHG® Hotels & Resorts and other partner hotels participating in the program, with exceptions for the following brands:  

  • Six Senses® Hotels Resorts Spas: IHG One Rewards points may be earned or redeemed for stays but other benefits may not be available. (Note some hotels do not participate in IHG One Rewards.)

IHG may withdraw points from a member’s account if they were deposited into the member’s account in error and may revoke all points in a member’s account if the member abuses the IHG One Rewards program, including but not limited to abuse of the point redemption process. IHG expressly reserves the right to remove a member's points, downgrade their status, or cancel their account if fraudulent activity in connection with the Promotion is detected, and any fraudulent or other prohibited activity relating to a member’s account, this Promotion, restricted rate offerings, or the IHG One Rewards program is subject to the IHG One Rewards Membership Terms and Conditions, including any of the identified actions that may be taken in response to such activity.
