How to Convert IHG to Avios Points

Learn the process and considerations for converting IHG One Rewards points to Avios.

Did you know you can convert your IHG One Reward points into Avios points, for use with British Airways, Iberia, Aer Lingus, and other airlines within the IAG and Oneworld networks?

IHG One Reward is IHG's loyalty scheme. IHG owns such hotel brands as Holiday Inn, Crowne Plaza, InterContinental and Hotel Indigo. So you could convert your hotel stays into reward flights, upgrades and more.

What’s the conversion rate?

10,000 IHG One Reward points convert to 2,000 Avios points.

What are the steps?

Converting IHG One Reward points into Avios is pretty straightforward. You’ll just need to contact the IHG One Rewards Customer Care department. In the UK, you call +44 (0) 2033 499 033. For contact numbers in other countries, head to the IHG website.

You can also change your preferences so you automatically collect Avios points – rather than IHG One Rewards points – whenever you stay at an eligible hotel. To do so, just join IHG One Rewards and select British Airways Executive Club when you’re asked for your preferred earning preference. Then following your next stay at an IHG hotel, your Avios will arrive in your British Airways Executive Club account within six weeks.

Are there minimum transfers?

You’ll need at least 10,000 IHG One Reward points in order to convert them into Avios.
