IHG One Rewards is gaining in popularity with its recent update to membership rewards. With 17 brands and 6,000 destinations worldwide, there's a good chance you'll find a way to redeem IHG One Rewards points on your next trip. Here's what to know to make the best use of IHG points.

As with any award redemption, the most valuable use is the one that makes sense for your travel style and needs. Some hotels offer high-value redemption opportunities regarding paid rates versus points cost. At NerdWallet, we value IHG points at 0.8 cent apiece. Ideally, you get at least that value whenever you book a stay.
