My IHG Free Night Strategy. – With the introduction of the new IHG One Rewards program, many frequent travelers are re-evaluating how they handle their IHG points and credit cards. I think Greg has the right idea favoring the flexibility of buying points on sale vs. having to “find” reasons to use the “free” nights that come with the credit cards. If you like IHG at all, having one of its cards is a good idea. You’ll get benefits like 4th night free, automatic elite status, and an annual free night.

And when you renew a passport, don’t forget to update Global Entry with your new information.
