No joy there!
* e-rewards' IHG payout level is poor, but 1/4 that is ridiculous.
* Within e-rewards, IHG is about the worst value there is. Redeem for something more valuable and the hourly rate for OCI becomes around 1/8 the e-rewards rate.
* IHG earnings from e-rewards count as elite qualifying. OCI doesn't.
Ihg is not a good value however it helped me earn Spire status and will help me requalify
