Sometimes IHG offers various 10% cash back via certain portals. I forgot I went through mr-rebates when they had recently had a 10% rebate, got back from a trip, and realized I had earned $100 bonus ! It was a nice surprise-
Keep an eye out on cashbackmonitor.com - you earn full IHG benefits (points etc) when booking at IHG through these portals. Get yourself a $380 rebate.
That's still ripping off OP's employer and people get fired for that sort of thing. Just claiming the points (and status) is generally allowed. Using the employer's money to buy extra points (status) generally isn't, unless it actually saves the employer money. (E.g. "You paid $30 to get me status. Having status saved you $15 on my breakfast five mornings.")
