There are no IHG hotel benefits for Amex Platinum cardholders. They can book prepaid IHG hotel stays with a Platinum card and earn 5 reward points for every $1 spent, but that’s about it. Rooms must be booked through the American Express Travel portal in order to receive the bonus points, too.
Bear in mind that Amex Platinum points are worth only 0.7 cents each if you redeem them toward an IHG hotel stay. Also, Amex Platinum does not offer automatic upgrades to IHG Gold Elite or Platinum Elite status as it does with the Hilton Honors and Marriott Bonvoy loyalty programs. You’ll need to book the required minimum number of nights before you’re able to take advantage of any benefits IHG elite status offers.
