==================

Don’t have any IHG reward points? No problem. You can either transfer them from the awesome Chase Sapphire Preferred Credit Card at a 1:1 ratio or you can buy points direct from IHG. Purchasing 5,000 points will be just $67.50.

Once you have 5,000 IHG points in your account. A “method” to get additional IHG points on the cheap, is to book any cancellable 15,000 point hotel stay at any location using “cash and points” which will be $70+5,000 points. Once booked, simply cancelthe reward stay. The $70 that you pay is nonrefundable so when you cancel the hotel you will get back 15,000 points instead, in your account. Just make sure that when booking the room it says that there will be no charge for cancelling. With this option the points will come out to just 0.7 cents per point or just $35 for 5,000 points!
