With nearly 6,000 properties worldwide and a continuously expanding portfolio of luxury properties, you’re likely to come across IHG hotels whenever you’re planning out a trip.
If you’re a cardholder of an eligible IHG co-branded credit card, you’ll want to familiarize yourself with IHG Anniversary Free Nights, which are the chain’s version of similar free night certificates issued by Marriott, Hilton, and Hyatt.
How to Earn IHG Anniversary Free Nights
For Canadians, it’s worth noting that IHG Anniversary Free Nights are only accessible to those who have gotten started with US credit cards; however, it’s a relatively simple strategy to set up as a one-time task before reaping the rewards year after year.
