Just read this:
Matching Prices. For multi-night stays, the average nightly room price found on a non-IHG website will be compared to the average nightly room price for your multi-night reservation on the IHG website. The room price on the non-IHG website must be available in the currency of the hotel. The average nightly rate must be least US $1 (or the equivalent in the hotel’s currency) lower than that found on the IHG website.
Any taxes, tariffs or fees imposed by a governmental authority (e.g., federal, state or local) will not be considered as part of the Best Price Guarantee claim. The room price must be quoted, booked, and paid for in the currency of the hotel. The Guarantee does not include extra fees such as extra person charges, except in Japan and on the ANA website where the room price does include extra person fees. Regardless of the number of lower prices found, only one free night will be awarded per stay. For valid claims, each additional night’s room price during the stay will be lowered to match the average nightly price for the entire stay found on the non-IHG website.
