IHG Hotels & Resorts

Booking IHG, the British hotel group behind InterContinental, Holiday Inn, Crowne Plaza and Kimpton? Pick your hotel and room, then book through ShopBack before you pay: ShopBack Cashback works like a discount, only easier than a promo code. For SG travellers, IHG has strong APAC coverage across InterContinental, Holiday Inn, and Crowne Plaza in Singapore, KL, Bangkok, Bali, and Tokyo. Book via ihg.com or the IHG One Rewards app and activate ShopBack through the ShopBack IHG merchant page to earn cashback on eligible bookings at the current published rate. For travellers in Singapore, going through ShopBack Singapore before you book with IHG is how part of what you spend comes back as Cashback.

IHG One Rewards has five tiers: Club (base signup), Silver Elite, Gold Elite, Platinum Elite, and Diamond Elite. Silver earns a 20% points bonus and 2 pm late checkout when available. Gold earns 40% bonus and non-expiring points. Platinum earns 60% bonus, guaranteed room availability 72 hours out, complimentary room upgrades subject to availability, and a welcome amenity at check-in. Diamond earns 100% bonus, daily breakfast for member plus one guest as a welcome amenity choice, Hertz Five Star elite status, and dedicated Diamond support. Tier qualification runs on nights or spend per calendar year.

IHG runs the semi-annual Bonus Points Package (typically 2,000 to 5,000 points per stay on select brands) and the annual Accelerate promo (personalised targeted offers running roughly January to April and May to August). Additional windows include Black Friday (November 27, 2026), Cyber Monday (November 30, 2026), and the year-end 30% off Points Advantage rate windows. Rewards Nights points requirements are dynamic and often cheaper mid-week. Verify current promo terms on ihg.com before booking.

IHG offers a Status Match to Match programme where existing elite members of Hilton Honors, Marriott Bonvoy, and Hyatt World of Hyatt can request a comparable IHG One Rewards status match by submitting proof of status via the IHG match portal. The match typically confers 90 to 120 days of trial status at the equivalent IHG tier. Retention requires completing a qualifying number of stays within the trial window. Verify current match programme eligibility and stay requirements on ihg.com before requesting.

Marriott Bonvoy has deeper luxury brand density in APAC (Ritz-Carlton, St Regis, W, JW Marriott, Westin, Le Meridien) and more properties in Singapore, Tokyo, and Bali. IHG has strong mid-market coverage through Holiday Inn Express and Crowne Plaza plus InterContinental luxury in key APAC cities. For luxury APAC stays Marriott typically wins; for business-travel and mid-market frequency IHG often wins. Fifth-night-free on award stays is a Marriott feature IHG does not match. Both are cashback-eligible via ShopBack where applicable.

Hilton Honors has fifth-night-free on award stays, points-and-cash flexibility, and strong US and Europe coverage. IHG has broader APAC mid-market density and more Holiday Inn brand penetration in secondary Asian cities. For SG travellers doing frequent mid-market APAC business travel IHG often wins on coverage; for US and Europe leisure trips Hilton typically wins. Elite match works both ways between IHG and Hilton via each brand's status match programme. Both are cashback-eligible via ShopBack where applicable.

Points Advantage is IHG's opt-in prepaid discount rate typically offering around 30% off standard rates on select stays when paid up front and non-refundable at booking. The rate stacks with member-only offers but usually excludes the semi-annual Bonus Points Package. Cancellation is not permitted after booking on standard Points Advantage rates. For confirmed travel plans where cancellation risk is low, Points Advantage often beats the flexible member rate. Verify rate rules on the ihg.com booking page before locking.

IHG has strong Singapore presence with InterContinental Singapore (Bugis), InterContinental Robertson Quay, Holiday Inn Singapore Orchard, Holiday Inn Express (Katong, Serangoon, Clarke Quay), and Crowne Plaza Changi Airport (attached to Terminal 3). For KrisFlyer members, IHG is a KrisFlyer hotel partner allowing miles-earning on eligible rates. For business travel to APAC secondary cities (KL, Bangkok, Manila, Jakarta), IHG's Holiday Inn Express density often beats other chains on nightly rate.

Go through ShopBack Singapore before you pay and the Cashback tracks to your ShopBack account: open ihg.com from the ShopBack IHG page, log in to your IHG One Rewards account, complete the booking and keep the reservation email. The ShopBack IHG page shows the live rate.

With ShopBack Singapore, That covers stays cancelled within the free-cancellation window, stays that do not check in, and non-refundable Points Advantage rates that are not travelled.

IHG publishes its own promotional offers on ihg.com and through IHG One Rewards newsletters. ShopBack Cashback works like a discount, only easier than a promo code: go through ShopBack Singapore before you pay.

For most Singapore travellers who book even one IHG hotel a year, yes, because IHG One Rewards is free to join and unlocks IHG's Member Rate, which IHG describes as its lowest rates for members who book direct. According to IHG, members earn 10 points per US$1 at most IHG hotels, can redeem Reward Nights from 10,000 points with no blackout dates, and get free Wi-Fi and late check-out up to 2pm when available. IHG does not publish a fixed Member Rate percentage, and points only stop expiring from Silver Elite upwards, so the bigger perks come with elite status. Sign in before you search, go through ShopBack before you book and check the live rate on this page. read more

It depends on the hotel and dates, so compare the final total with taxes and fees on all three. Booking direct on ihg.com while signed in gets you IHG's Member Rate, IHG One Rewards points and elite night credit, which a booking site stay usually does not earn. Agoda and Trip.com sometimes show a lower room price through their own member tiers, coupons or bank offers. If the price is the same or close, booking direct usually gives you more; if a booking site is clearly lower for your dates, it can be the cheaper route. Agoda and Trip.com are also on ShopBack Singapore, so whichever you pick, go through ShopBack before you pay and check the live rate on each store's page. read more

Booking on ihg.com or in the IHG One Rewards app puts your reservation directly with InterContinental Hotels Group, the British hotel company behind InterContinental, Crowne Plaza, Holiday Inn, Holiday Inn Express, Hotel Indigo, voco and Kimpton, which says you can book direct at more than 7,000 destinations. A direct booking sits in your IHG One Rewards account, so changes, cancellations and points are handled by IHG and the hotel rather than a third party. Read the cancellation terms of the rate before you pay, since prepaid rates cannot be cancelled. To have the stay count on ShopBack, go through ShopBack first and book on the IHG website rather than the IHG app, then check the live rate on this page.

Sign in to IHG One Rewards before you search so the Member Rate shows next to the public rate, then compare the same room and dates with taxes and fees included. If your plans are fixed, IHG's prepaid Points Advantage rate can come in below the flexible member rate, but it is non-refundable, so pick it only when cancellation risk is low. Register for any IHG member promotions before your stay, and check that your rate type qualifies on ShopBack, since Reward Nights paid with points and specialty negotiated rates do not. Then go through ShopBack before you pay so the effective price of the stay drops, and check the live rate on this page.

Yes, it is an essential step before you book: plan the trip first (dates, city and hotel), then open IHG from this page and book on the IHG website, signed in to your IHG One Rewards account. You pay IHG as normal, and after your stay is completed and confirmed, cash comes back to your ShopBack account, so you pay less for the same room. Book on the website rather than the IHG app, and check the live rate on this page before you book.

ShopBack works as a post-purchase discount: you go through ShopBack before you pay, book with IHG as usual, and once the stay is completed and confirmed, cash comes back to your ShopBack account. Your effective price is what you paid minus that cash, so it works like a discount on the room, not like points or miles, and you can still earn IHG points on an eligible direct booking. How much comes back depends on the live rate shown on this page and IHG's eligibility terms.
