<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How to Use the Calculator</h2>



<p><strong>Total Cost (excl. Tax) </strong>– Enter the total cost of your stay <strong>excluding</strong> tax, in USD.</p>



<p><strong>Status</strong> – Select your status level in Radisson Rewards. When joining the program, you are at &#8220;Club&#8221; level initially. The points earning rates for each status level are:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Club – 8 points/$1</li>



<li>Premium – 27 points/$1</li>



<li>VIP – 36 points/$1</li>
</ul>



<p><strong>Discount</strong> &nbsp;– If you reach Premium or VIP status, you can choose to activate &#8220;Discount Booster&#8221; &#8211; which gives you a discount on room prices, but also results in a lower points earning rate:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Premium with Discount Booster – 9 points/$1</li>



<li>VIP with Discount Booster – 12 points/$1</li>
</ul>



<p><strong>Offers</strong> – Select any offers you are eligible for. Check the links to the Radisson web site to register and read any terms and conditions for the promotions.</p>



<p><strong>Extra Points</strong>&nbsp;– Add any additional points you will earn here.</p>



<p><strong>Point Value</strong> – The default value is set to 2 cents per point. Due to dynamic pricing, the actual value of your points could range from 0.15 &#8211; 2.5 cents each.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How To Use The Calculator</h2>



<p><strong>Total Cost (excl. Tax)</strong> – Enter the total cost of your stay <strong>excluding</strong> taxes and fees, in USD. Example: &#8220;1000&#8221;.</p>



<p><strong>Total Cost (incl. Tax)</strong> – Enter the total cost of your stay <strong>including</strong> taxes and fees, in USD. Example: &#8220;1200&#8221;. IHG points are not earned on taxes and service charges, but this figure is used to calculate points earned on your credit card spend. The total points figure will only update after you select a credit card.</p>



<p><strong>Status</strong> &#8211; IHG members earn bonus points depending on <a href="https://www.ihg.com/onerewards/content/us/en/tier-benefits" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">status level</a> in the program. The status levels are:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Club Member: no bonus points</li>



<li>Silver Elite: 20% bonus points</li>



<li>Gold Elite: 40% bonus points</li>



<li>Platinum Elite: 60% bonus points</li>



<li>Diamond Elite: 100% bonus points</li>
</ul>



<p><strong>Offers</strong> &#8211; Select any offers your stay will qualify for. Check the <a href="https://www.ihg.com/rewardsclub/us/en/account-mgmt/offers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Offers page</a> in your IHG account for details of promotions you have registered for.</p>



<p><strong>Brand</strong> &#8211; Almost all IHG hotel brands earn 10 points per $1. The exceptions are Staybridge Suites and Candlewood Suites, which earn a reduced rate of 5 points per $1.</p>



<p><strong>Credit Card</strong> &#8211; Select a credit card if you will be paying for your stay with a card earning IHG points. We have included the following Chase credit cards:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>IHG Premier Card &#8211; 10 points/$1</li>



<li>IHG Premier Business Card &#8211; 10 points/$1</li>



<li>IHG Traveler Card &#8211; 5 points/$1</li>



<li>IHG Select Card &#8211; 5 points/$1</li>
</ul>



<p>Other credit cards earn points which can be transferred to IHG, however the conversion rate is poor value so we have not included them.</p>



<p><strong>Extra Points</strong> &#8211; Add any additional points you expect to earn here. These could be from a targeted offer, Milestone Rewards or Welcome Amenity (for Platinum and Diamond members).</p>



<p><strong>Point Value</strong> – The default value is set to 0.6 cents per point, but if you value IHG points differently, adjust the figure here. Read more about <a href="https://luxurytravelnotes.com/ihg-points-value/" data-type="post" data-id="353">how we value IHG points</a>.</p>
