Redeeming for travel transfer partners yields maximum value.
Portal redemptions generally provide a fixed 1.0¢ to 1.5¢ floor value.
Why PointsMax Values IHG One Rewards® Points at 0.5¢
IHG One Rewards points are valued at 0.5¢. Similar to Hilton, IHG uses dynamic pricing which values points at roughly half a cent, though card benefits (like a 4th night free on award bookings) help cardholders beat this baseline.
Our valuations represent the estimated cash yield you can expect when booking typical award tickets or hotel nights using optimal redemption strategies, rather than baseline cash-back conversions.
