Just curious to see if anyone has tried this strategy to keep points from expiring. My points are expiring in March and I can't seem to make any redemptions through the IHG digital rewards site.
- Redeem points for a hotel stay in the future (say Dec 31, 2020)
- Make an actual hotel stay in April or May 2020 (ie. after my current points expiry date of March 2020)
- Cancel the redemption booking from item 1 in May 2020.
I've noticed that the "points expiring" message does go away immediately after booking a room redemption.
