Is Priority Club the same as IHG?

Last year IHG Rewards Club (née Priority Club, the loyalty program for Holiday Inn, Crowne Plaza, and related brands) introduced a new top tier elite level, Spire Elite.



Yes, Priority Club is the former name of what is now known as IHG One Rewards. The program was rebranded from Priority Club Rewards to IHG Rewards Club in 2013, and then underwent a more significant transformation into IHG One Rewards in 2022. As of 2026, the program is the unified loyalty platform for the InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG), covering 19 brands including Holiday Inn, Crowne Plaza, InterContinental, and Kimpton. While the "Priority Club" name is still etched in the memories of long-time travelers, it no longer exists as a separate entity. The modern IHG One Rewards program offers a tiered structure (Silver, Gold, Platinum, Diamond) and features like "Milestone Rewards," where members can choose perks like food and beverage credits or lounge memberships after staying a certain number of nights. If you have an old Priority Club account number, it can typically still be used to access your IHG One Rewards profile, as your history and points were migrated during the various rebranding phases over the last decade.
