The short version

IHG One Rewards has the shortest expiry window of the major hotel programs: points lapse after 12 months with no account activity, half the window Marriott and Hilton allow. Any earning or redemption resets it, and IHG Elite members and One Rewards Premier cardholders are exempt from the rule entirely.

IHG One Rewards has the shortest expiry window of the big hotel programs, 12 months without activity, so it is the balance most likely to lapse quietly. These guides cover the rule, who is exempt from it, and what an IHG point is typically worth.

Elite members and IHG Premier cardholders keep their points regardless of activity. Everyone else needs one earn or redemption a year. Points are worth around half a cent each, so the value calculator is the best check before booking. Chase Ultimate Rewards and Bilt both transfer in at 1:1, though moving points into IHG rarely beats the other partners on those lists.
