Key facts (checked October 13, 2026)
Before you sell: know the risk
Selling IHG One Rewards points is against the IHG One Rewards terms and conditions, which say “Points may not be purchased or sold, and are not transferable”. IHG can cancel a membership and revoke all the points in it, and the terms name the sale of points as grounds. We cannot promise how IHG will respond to a sale.

Price guarantee: the price per point we agree with you in writing by email is the price we pay once your points transfer is complete.
Maximum Liquidity: While IHG points are great for booking stays at a Six Senses or InterContinental, cash gives you ultimate flexibility. Convert your hotel points into liquid cash to pay off credit card debt, invest, or handle everyday expenses.
Avoid Dynamic Devaluations: IHG One Rewards uses dynamic pricing for its award nights. This means the cost of a free night fluctuates with cash prices, often resulting in silent devaluations during peak travel seasons. Cashing out turns them into cash now.
Total Booking Freedom: Don’t let blackout dates or limited award availability dictate your vacation. By selling your points for cash, you can book any hotel, anywhere in the world, even non-IHG boutique properties or vacation rentals.
Request Your Quote: Fill out our online form with your current IHG point balance. We reply with a quote by email.
Confirmation: We confirm your balance and the transfer steps by email. We never ask for your password.
Payment: You transfer the points, and we pay by PayPal once we confirm the transfer. Most customers are paid within 15 minutes of completing the transfer.
Why Sell IHG Points to The Points King
How Much Do You Pay for IHG Points?
Note: Hotel points generally have a different valuation scale compared to airline miles.
We do not publish a rate, because it moves with demand and with the size of the balance. Tell us how many points you have and we email you a price in writing; the price we agree is the price we pay. For context, The Points Guy values IHG One Rewards points at 0.6 cents each for travel (October 2026), and a cash offer from any broker will be lower than that.
IHG One Rewards is a 1:1 Chase transfer partner, as our Chase transfer partners guide shows. We also buy Hilton Honors and Marriott Bonvoy points.
1. How much are IHG points really worth?
Hotel Value: The Points Guy values IHG points at 0.6 cents each for hotel stays (October 2026).
Cash value: a cash offer from any broker will be lower than the travel value. We do not publish a rate; we email you a price in writing, and the price we agree is the price we pay. Larger balances can receive a better price.
2. Is it legal to sell my IHG points? Selling IHG One Rewards points is against IHG’s rules. Whether a sale creates legal exposure beyond that depends on the facts and where you live. This page is not legal advice.
3. Will selling my points affect my Elite Status? It can. IHG can close an account it links to a sale, and status goes with the account. See the risk box above.
