A new reward option: Flights Anywhere

IHG’s (InterContinental Hotels Group) Priority Club ® Rewards has unveiled a new reward option: Flights Anywhere™. This new program lets members redeem Priority Club ® points, or combine points and cash, to book flights on more than 400 airline carriers worldwide without restrictions on availability.
It’s the first and only hotel loyalty program to offer the flexibility to redeem points and cash for flights, and there are no blackout dates or limits on available tickets whatsoever. It is available to consumers in nearly 20 countries, including the U.S., Canada and most countries in Europe.
Every little bit of incentive to travel helps.
It isn’t the first. SPG has been doing this for a while. (just points tho, not C+P).
Seems like IHG is really stealing alot of SPG’s ideas (C+P’s, Flights)
I don’t know..I’m with Maui Traveler. Any incentive to travel helps, even if the idea isn’t 100% original. It’s great to see hotels getting involved in making it easier for guests to get around.
SPG has always been the most flexible with rewards. The other hotel rewards programs have been playing catch-up – but that’s good for the consumer. Yay for IHG.
