Question on earning very small amount of points
I have 29,973 points in my acct and want to redeem for a 30k/night room. As most of my stays are not IHG, I won't be accruing any more points from actual stays. I know I could transfer in 1k from my Chase UR acct, but would rather not "waste" the extra 973 UR pts I would then have left over in my IHG acct after redeeming for a 30k award night.
If I were to walk into a IHG property and buy some food from the little store near the check-in desk AND give the IHG employee my IHG number would the purchase be eligible for earning IHG points?
If I stop in my local Holiday Inn (10 IHG pts/$), I'd only have to buy ~$3 worth of stuff to earn the 27 points I need (and then not have to transfer in 1k Chase UR pts which is at least worth $10).

Reason: replaced "miles" to "points"
