IHG Hotels: Senior Rate (62+)

IHG publishes two senior rates for its IHG One Rewards members: a Member Senior Discount rate and a Member Senior Advance Purchase rate. Both are open to members aged 62 and over, and to travellers who hold a valid membership card from a retired persons organization. Joining IHG One Rewards costs nothing, so the membership condition is a small hurdle rather than a real cost. Participating hotels include Holiday Inn, Crowne Plaza and the other IHG brands found across Canada.

How to claim it

1. Join IHG One Rewards on the IHG site if you are not already a member, since the senior rates are member rates.
2. Search your hotel and dates at ihg.com and choose the senior rate for the room, or ask for the senior rate when you book by phone.
3. For the Advance Purchase rate, book at least 3 days before your stay to earn the larger saving.

IHG does not publish a percentage for these rates, and that is the point readers should hold onto. The saving changes with the hotel, the length of the stay and how early you book, so no single figure applies across the chain. Numbers quoted on other sites for an IHG senior discount have no source in the terms IHG itself publishes and should not be trusted. The honest test is to price the same room at the senior rate and at the standard member rate, then compare the two totals.

The fine print is standard for a discounted rate. Blackout dates can apply, the senior rate cannot be combined with other discounted rates, and it is not offered for group bookings. Bring identification that shows your age, or your retired persons organization membership card, in case the hotel asks to see it at check in.

Practical tip: if your dates are firm, price the Advance Purchase rate first, since booking ahead is where this offer does its best work.
