IHG® Rewards Club And The Coca-Cola Company Bring Back Share Forever For 2016

ICHGF | April 12, 2016

The only hotel promotion that lets travelers earn bonus points of their own and earn free nights to share with others begins May 1

ATLANTA, April 12, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Sharing, it's what memories are made of—from an ice-cold Coke^® to the vacation-of-a-lifetime at any of IHG's 5,000 hotels worldwide. Today, IHG (InterContinental Hotels Group), one of the world's leading hotel companies, and The Coca-Cola Company, announce they are bringing back sharable rewards with their second annual Share Forever promotion.

Americas-based IHG^® Rewards Club members who register for Share Forever, and stay at an IHG property from May 1 through Sept. 5, 2016, can earn at least 65,000 bonus rewards points -- that's more than enough for a free night at an IHG hotel anywhere around the globe - or for brand merchandise and retail gift cards from the IHG Rewards Club Catalog at some of the top stores in the world. Plus, they may earn an additional free night to share with someone else, redeemable at any IHG hotel in the Americas.

Liz Crisafi, Head of Loyalty and Partnerships, The Americas at IHG said: "Human instinct is to share extraordinary moments with the people we love. That's why in 2015, we were the first in the industry to introduce sharable rewards, and today remain the only hotel loyalty program that offers them. This year, we enhanced the promotion even further to include new and exclusive offers for our most loyal Spire Elite members, such as instant earn simply for registering in the promotion."

Whether it's for a relaxing beach getaway, a family trip or a visit to a city known for its foodie scene, members earn more points and rewards for every additional night stayed, and at 15 nights, IHG Rewards Club members earn something that can't be beat - a free night to share with someone else. Members can begin registering for Share Forever at this link beginning April 12, 2016.

The Share Forever promotion is open to IHG Rewards Club members who are residents of the U.S., Canada, Mexico, the Caribbean and Latin America. For more information, full terms and conditions, or to register for the Share Forever promotion, visit this link.
