IHG Rewards Club offers many different ways to earn bonus points.
You could join their dining program, they offer welcome back bonuses and you could’ve participated in various offers like IHG Accelerate or Priceless Surprises.
Now I’m wondering if IHG wants to give me a gift.
I recently received an e-mail from IHG Rewards Club with my October eStatement. I usually just delete these e-mail but this time I gave it a look.
While look over the e-mail I noticed something strange. The message stated that “Your birthday’s important to us.”
Below that headline, the message stated “Add your birthday to your profile and let us celebrate your big day along with you. It’ll just take a minute“.
I figured that I had nothing to lose so I added my birthday. Now I’m wondering, how will IHG Rewards Club celebrate with me??? Some bonus points? A free award night? 🙂
Have any of you received some sort of birthday gift from IHG? If so, let us know what you received?
Oh and by the way, my birthday is in December if any of you would like to send me a gift!
TJ- Good point. It’s also 20% of a points break!
Now if they gave everyone 1000 points on there birthday that would defeat the one year expiry , I’ll do it anyways.
Clare N- That’s awesome and happy belated B-Day!
My Birthday was back in June. I e-mailed them that I had not received the 1000 points and nicely asked if I was eligible. They sent the points to my account.
Nancy- Not bad but I’d rather have the free 1,000 points.
Matt B- Happy BDay! Let us know if you get some sort of bonus.
My birthday was 9 days ago and is in my IHG profile. Nothing has posted for me.
Below is the offer which comes in an email and you have to register for:
Travel’s a great way to celebrate your birthday. And being a member of IHG® Rewards Club can take you to all the places you’d like to explore. Now when you stay a weekend in the next 90 days, you’ll earn 5,000 bonus points. It’s an early birthday gift from us to you.
Gene- Could be but how would that be a way for IHG to celebrate my b-day!
Diane- Thanks, good to know!
Mike- Happy Bday! Hopefully (if true) your points will show up soon.
Carl P- Thanks for the link! I’ll check out the post.
Doctor of Credit had a post a few weeks ago about 1,000 points on your birthday.

There are data points on other blogs about 1,000 bonus points but my birthday was yesterday and no email from IHG 🙁
I read a couple of weeks ago if you add your birthday to your profile, you’ll get 1,000 points on your birthday.
For fraud prevention, no doubt…
