No, IHG One Rewards points do not expire for Platinum Elite members, nor for those with Silver, Gold, or Diamond Elite status. In 2026, the policy remains that as long as you maintain an elite status level, your points balance is protected regardless of account activity. For "Club" (entry-level) members, however, points will expire if there is no "earn or redeem" activity on the account for a period of 12 months. If you were to lose your Platinum status and revert to a Club member, the 12-month expiration clock would begin on the day your status changed. To prevent this, you simply need to make one qualifying transaction—such as a paid stay, a point redemption, or a purchase through the IHG shopping portal—to reset the clock for another year. For Platinum members, the peace of mind of "non-expiring" points is a key benefit of the program, allowing them to save for high-value redemptions at luxury brands like InterContinental or Six Senses over several years without the pressure of a looming deadline.
