The IHG One Rewards program does not let you pool points with family or friends. Instead, you can transfer points from your account to another account at a cost of $5.00 per 1,000 points. You can transfer IHG points in increments of 1,000, up to 500,000 points per calendar year.
Is It Worth It to Transfer IHG Points?
IHG points are worth about 0.68 cents each when redeemed for IHG hotel stays, meaning 1,000 points are worth roughly $6.80. However, transferring 1,000 points costs $5, which effectively reduces their value to just $1.80 - a loss of nearly three-quarters of their potential worth. Because of this, transferring miles frequently or in large denominations is not recommended.
