Using Pointy on IHG
Search with points
Go to ihg.com, turn on the points, miles or award option and search as usual. Pointy reads the points price and the cash price already on the page. There’s nothing to type.
Read the badge
Each result with both a cash and a points price gets a badge with its value in cents per point: the cash price ÷ the points price × 100. Higher is better. The label compares each value with your own IHG searches once you have 30 saved results there.
Handles all the special fees
Hover over a badge to see how it was worked out.
- Currency: other currencies are converted to US dollars at a daily rate.
- Taxes: Pointy uses the price with taxes included wherever the site shows one.
- Resort and destination fees: taken off the cash price, because you pay them either way.
- Multi-night stays: values compare the whole stay’s cash price with its points.
