IHG point transfers to partners
IHG points can be transferred to the following travel partners:
Transferring points to IHG One Rewards
IHG is a direct transfer partner of Chase, Bilt, and Virgin Atlantic Flying Club. Here's the full list of programs that allows you to transfer points to IHG:
Chase points to IHG
Chase Ultimate Rewards points can be converted to IHG points at a 1:1 rate from Chase’s travel Ultimate Rewards cards, meaning 1,000 Chase points equals 1,000 IHG points.
When redeemed for travel through Chase Travel, Chase points are typically worth 1.25–1.5 cents each, and potentially 2 cents or more with other transfer partners, making Chase to IHG transfers a lower-value option.
However, having the Chase to IHG transfer option is still useful as a backup way to top off your IHG One Rewards account when needed.
AMEX points to IHG
American Express Membership Rewards does not offer direct Amex points to IHG transfers, but you can transfer points indirectly via Virgin Atlantic Flying Club. Membership Rewards points convert to Virgin Atlantic at a 1:1 rate, and then Virgin points can be transferred to IHG at a 1:1 rate, resulting in an effective 1:1 conversion from Amex points to IHG.
Membership Rewards points typically hold an average value of 1 cent each but can be worth significantly more when transferred to AMEX's airline partners. Be sure to confirm that transferring to IHG provides enough value for your needs before proceeding.
