IHG Rewards Club launched in May a point sale that is valid for purchases made through tomorrow (June 15, 2020).
IHG sells points throughout the year (the maximum bonus is 100%), and members can now buy up to 150,000 points every calendar year before any targeted offers.

Note that the purchase limit is raised from 150,000 to 250,000 for the duration of this sale. Members can buy a total of 500.000 points when the bonus is factored in.
Price at the 100% bonus:
The price at the 100% bonus is 0.5 cents each when the maximum number is purchased. My purchase limit was raised to 150,000 (before bonus).
Does it make sense to purchase points?
Purchasing points merely because they are on sale doesn’t make sense. If you have a good use for them, buying can lower the price of the stays considerably.
IHG has introduced variable point pricing that has made many previously expensive hotels far more affordable today.
Conclusion
This is the lowest price that IHG Rewards Club has sold its points, and the purchase limit has also been lifted for many.
The variable award pricing has, at least for now, worked for our favor, and you should have a look at the current point pricing for hotels that you wish to redeem at (you are likely for a positive surprise).
