4 Miles per USD (2 Base + 2 Bonus) at the following brands:
- InterContinental Hotels, Kimpton Hotels, Regent, Hualuxe, Crowne Plaza, Hotel Indigo, EVEN, voco, Holiday Inn, Holiday Inn Express, Holiday Inn Club Vacations, avid, Atwell Suites, and Vignette Collection hotels

Conclusion
IHG has had variable bonus miles offers with many airline partners this fall. I like these offers that are valid on ALL qualifying rates.
Then there is a question of whether it makes sense or not to credit IHG stays to partners.
I would say that, in general, you get the most value when collecting hotel loyalty program points for stays and then using them towards free nights. However, there are occasions when crediting to airlines can make sense, such as specific promotions or if you have absolutely no use for free hotel nights.
Here are the terms and conditions of this offer:
