IHG Account hacked - Points redeemed for Amazon gift certs.
I just logged into my wife's IHG account to use her free night certificate and noticed that almost all of her 90k points had been redeemed 2 days ago. I called up IHG and they said they were used to redeem amazon gift certificates. I told them it wasn't her and they are investigating. My wife didn't receive any sort of email confirmation of the activity, I'm lucky I logged in and noticed the activity or else I wouldn't have known it was happening. I also checked her amazon and the points were not redeemed on her account so her amazon wasn't hacked. I read that IHG had been hacked at the end of last year and also their PIN system makes hacking somewhat easy. This is an FYI - you may want to check on your accounts to make sure they are good.
