IHG One Rewards Members Can Now Earn PAYBACK °Points for Stays in Germany
PointsCrowd is a community-supported platform. When you apply for a credit card, make an order, or otherwise interact with the advertisers through the links on this page we may earn an affiliate commission. This helps us maintain and develop the platform further at no cost to you.
As part of the IHG and PAYBACK partnership program, you can now earn 1 PAYBACK °Point in Germany for every 2 euros spent at all IHG hotels participating in the IHG One Rewards program, IHG Army hotels, and IHG Residences.
You can redeem PAYBACK °Points for discounts, merchandise, gift certificates, gift cards, and much more.

How to Start Earning PAYBACK °Points
To start earning, you need to:
- Be an IHG One Rewards member and be registered with PAYBACK as well.
- In your IHG One Rewards account settings, change your earning preferences to PAYBACK °Points.
- Within 5 days of booking, participants who have set their PAYBACK earnings preferences will see the approximate number of reserved °Points displayed in their PAYBACK account
- Unlocked °Points will be added to the participant’s PAYBACK account within 5 days of the departure date
Check your PAYBACK Points balance on the “My Account” page. PAYBACK points expire 3 years after they are earned if they are not used.
If you don’t particularly value IHG points and don’t plan to use them for hotel stays, you can earn PAYBACK °Points in Germany. Important note: PAYBACK °Points cannot be redeemed for IHG points or used for stays at IHG hotels. Don’t forget to change your reward settings.
If you haven’t yet registered with IHG One Rewards, you can take advantage of the offer for new members.
