Shareholder discounts at various companies used to be quite prevalent in the past, but most have been discontinued.
IHG, however, continues to offer a 15% discount for shareholders that own at least one share of the company.
Rate Rules:
The rules of this rate are quite contradictory. They say both that the rate is fully flexible and no deposit is required and that the rate is prepaid and no changes are allowed.
Rate Searches:
Kimpton Bangkok
Here’s the discount is precisely 15%.
InterContinental London Park Lane
And the same 15% here too.
Crowne Plaza Times Square
And here too.
ANA InterContinental Tokyo
And the same 15% discount.
Conclusion
It shouldn’t be too difficul for most to own a share of IHG to be eligible for this rate plan.
Based on the few searches I executed, this is a flat 15% off discount and available at most hotels. It can make sense when no other discounted rates are available.
