Air India and IHG Launch New Partnership with Special Offer

Air India and IHG Hotels & Resorts have launched a new partnership, enabling Air India’s Maharaja Club members to earn reward points during stays at IHG Hotels & Resorts, while giving IHG One Rewards members the flexibility to exchange their points for Maharaja Points.

The partnership brings together IHG’s global portfolio of more than 7,100 hotels in over 100 countries with Air India’s network across India and five continents to offer members greater value, choice and flexibility across their travel journey.

Earn Maharaja Points through stays at IHG Hotels & Resorts worldwide

Through the partnership, Air India’s Maharaja Club members can earn Maharaja Points when staying at IHG Hotels & Resorts worldwide.

Members will earn 2 Maharaja Points for every US$1 spent at most IHG Hotels and Resorts, while stays at Candlewood Suites, Staybridge Suites, IHG Residences and IHG Army Hotels will earn 1 Maharaja Point for every US$1 spent.

Members will also have the flexibility to convert their IHG One Rewards Points into Maharaja Points, with 1,000 IHG One Rewards Points exchangeable for 200 Maharaja Points. The minimum exchange threshold is 1,000 IHG One Rewards Points, giving members flexibility in how they use their loyalty rewards towards future travel.

The partnership builds on IHG One Rewards’ focus on offering greater flexibility to its growing membership base, while further expanding Maharaja Club’s partner ecosystem and opportunities for members to earn Maharaja Points beyond their airline spend.

Award-winning IHG One Rewards is one of the world's largest hotel loyalty programmes with a growing base of over 160 million members, globally.
