InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG) and Uber has collaborated offering IHG Rewards Club members 2,000 points when you travel within the U.S. and sign up as a new Uber rider. You would also get US$20 off your first ride with Uber.
You can request a ride from the IHG App through the Uber API. Early next year, you can set Uber “Ride Reminder” through the IHG app.
This is how it works:
- Download or update your IHG App
- Book a stay at any IHG Hotel in the U.S.
- Select the Uber button in the IHG App to request a ride to your destination.
- You would be directed to the Uber App that you have pre installed into your mobile device where the hotel’s address will be pre-populated.
- New Uber travellers will receive a US$20 of their first ride. A digital voucher code from Uber via email to deposit the 2,000 IHG Rewards Club Points into your account.
