IHG Ruby Hotels Promo: 10,000 Bonus Points Every 2 Nights Until November 4
Loading article…
Until November 4, 2026, IHG One Rewards pays you 10,000 bonus points for every block of 2 qualifying nights at Ruby Hotels in Europe, as long as you register for the offer before your stay ends. The stay window opened on July 24, 2026, and registration on IHG's site stays open until the last day of the promotion.
Ruby, an urban hotel brand that is now part of IHG, has 24 properties in 18 European cities, from London to Rome. If you already have a European trip planned before November, we see it as one of the easiest hotel promotions to cash in: 2 nights are enough to trigger the bonus. And since you'll pay for the room in foreign currency, the Scotiabank Passport Visa Infinite Card spares you the foreign transaction fees.
What the Ruby Hotels offer pays
The math is simple: you earn 10,000 points for every complete block of 2 qualifying nights, on top of your base IHG points and your usual elite bonuses. A single night earns no bonus, so plan an even number of nights where you can.
| Qualifying nights | Bonus points | Estimated value (0.7 cents CAD per point) |
|---|---|---|
| 1 night | 0 | $0 CAD |
| 2 nights | 10,000 | about $70 CAD |
| 3 nights | 10,000 | about $70 CAD |
| 4 nights | 20,000 | about $140 CAD |
| 6 nights | 30,000 | about $210 CAD |
The rules you need to follow
You earn the bonus by meeting 6 conditions, and the most important one is registering for the IHG offer: nights from a stay that ended before you registered don't count.
- Active account: a valid IHG One Rewards account, free to join.
- Registration: once only, no later than November 4, 2026.
- Stay dates: nights between July 24 and November 4, 2026.
- Hotel: a participating Ruby Hotel, no other IHG brand.
- Rate: a qualifying rate of at least US$30 per night, or the local-currency equivalent.
- Timing: up to 6 weeks for the bonus points to post.
Several types of bookings are excluded outright.
- Reward Nights and Points & Cash: stays paid fully or partly with points don't count.
- Online travel agencies: bookings made through Booking.com, Expedia or any other third-party site are excluded.
- Multiple rooms: if you book several rooms on the same night, only one counts toward the bonus.
- Shared room: if two registered members stay in the same room, only one earns the bonus points.
Where Ruby Hotels are located
You'll find the 24 Ruby Hotels in 18 European cities across 9 countries, according to the list published by Ruby Hotels. The brand has no hotels in Canada or the United States, so the offer is aimed at Canadians travelling to Europe before November 4.
| Country | Cities |
|---|---|
| Germany | Cologne, Düsseldorf, Frankfurt, Hamburg, Munich, Stuttgart |
| Austria | Vienna |
| United Kingdom | London |
| Ireland | Dublin |
| Netherlands | Amsterdam, Rotterdam |
| Switzerland | Geneva, Zurich |
| Sweden | Stockholm |
| France | Marseille |
| Italy | Florence, Rome |
IHG's terms refer to "participating" Ruby Hotels: before you book, check that your hotel shows up on ihg.com or in the IHG One Rewards app.
How much 10,000 IHG points are worth
We value IHG One Rewards points at about 0.7 cents CAD each. At that rate, 10,000 IHG points are worth about $70 CAD toward reward nights, and a 4-night stay earns you a bonus worth about $140 CAD.
The minimum rate is low: US$30 per night, or the local-currency equivalent. Nearly every Ruby room costs well above that, so the price rule won't hold you back.
These points don't count toward elite status. You can use them for reward nights, merchandise and the program's other redemptions. If you're eyeing an expensive reward night instead, our article on buying IHG points shows what a point costs when IHG puts them on sale.
How to take advantage from Canada
- Log in to your IHG One Rewards account, or create one: membership is free.
- Register for the "10,000 Points Every 2 Nights" offer before you arrive. One registration per member covers the whole period.
- Book directly with IHG, on the website or in the app, at a rate paid in cash.
- Schedule your nights between now and November 4, 2026.
- Allow up to 6 weeks after your stay for the bonus points to post.
Once there, you'll pay for the room in euros, pounds, Swiss francs or kronor. The Scotiabank Passport Visa Infinite Card charges no foreign transaction fees on those purchases, where most Canadian cards add 2.5%. If you mainly want to earn travel points, the RBC Avion Visa Infinite Card is an alternative, with a 2.5% foreign transaction fee.
For IHG stays elsewhere in the world this fall, the IHG One Rewards fall promotion is also worth a look. And if you're torn between hotel chains, our hotel loyalty program comparison ranks each one by point value.
Bottom Line
If you have a trip to Europe before November 4, 2026, register first, then group your Ruby nights in blocks of 2: each pair earns you 10,000 IHG points. Book directly with IHG and pay cash, or the bonus won't apply.

How many points does the IHG Ruby Hotels offer pay?
The offer pays 10,000 bonus points for each block of 2 qualifying nights at a participating Ruby Hotel. A 4-night stay therefore earns 20,000 bonus points, on top of your base points.
How long does the offer last?
Nights must fall between July 24 and November 4, 2026. You can register until November 4, 2026, but you need to register before your stay ends for those nights to count.
Do I need to register to get the 10,000 points?
Yes. Registration is mandatory and each member registers only once. Nights from a stay that ended before you registered earn no bonus points.
Does a booking made on Expedia or Booking.com qualify?
No. Bookings made through online travel agencies or other third-party sites are excluded. Book directly on IHG's website or in the IHG app.
Do reward nights count toward the offer?
No. Stays paid with points, including Points & Cash, are excluded. Only a qualifying paid rate of at least US$30 per night, or the local-currency equivalent, counts.
Are there Ruby Hotels in Canada?
No. All 24 participating Ruby Hotels are in Europe, from London to Rome, so the offer is aimed at Canadians travelling to Europe before November 4, 2026.
When do the bonus points show up in my account?
IHG allows up to 6 weeks after your stay. These bonus points don't count toward elite status.
Does a 3-night stay earn more than a 2-night stay?
No. The bonus is paid per complete block of 2 nights: a 3-night stay earns 10,000 points, and a 4-night stay earns 20,000. Adding a fourth night is what unlocks the next block.
