For a standard stay at any IHG property (such as Holiday Inn or InterContinental) in 2026, points typically take five to seven business days after check-out to post to your IHG One Rewards account. While points often appear much faster—sometimes within 24 to 48 hours for domestic stays—the official policy allows for a full week to account for international processing and auditing. If you earned points through a promotional offer (like "3X Points" or a "Welcome Bonus"), these can take significantly longer, sometimes appearing up to six weeks after the qualifying activity. Points earned via the IHG co-branded credit cards usually post once a month, shortly after your credit card billing cycle closes. If your points have not appeared after 10 days, IHG recommends filing a "Missing Points" claim through their website, though you will need your folio or receipt as proof of the stay. Stays booked through third-party sites like Expedia or Booking.com generally do not earn points and will not appear in your activity.
