Are you looking for exclusive discounts on hotel stays through IHG as a travel agent? Then you need to know about IHG Travel Agent Rates!

In this article, we’ll take a closer look at IHG Travel Agent Rates and how you can benefit from them. We’ll dig into the IHG travel agent rate program, called “Travel Consultant Connection”, and see how much travel advisors can actually save by using these special rates at IHG properties.

So whether you’re planning a business trip or a leisurely vacation, read on to discover how you can save big on your next hotel booking through IHG.

The IHG Travel Agent Familiarization Program

Like most other major hotel chains, IHG offers discounted rates for travel agents to check out their hotels and resorts at a reduced rate so they can promote them to their clients. These rates are called “familiarization rates” and are only available to travel agents.

The following IHG benefits and terms apply to a Travel Agent’s personal travel only. These rates are not for clients:

  • 2 rooms allowed per stay, unlimited stays
  • Travel industry rates are available at IHG hotels globally
  • A minimum of 35% off the Best Flex Rate and many IHG hotels may offer even higher discounts.
  • Earn IHG One Rewards points for your stay. You can also register and qualify for IHG Rewards club promotions
  • Cancellations without penalty. House policies will apply if cancellation is not made by the time and day detailed during the booking process.
  • Your Travel Industry ID (IATAN/IATA card) is required at check-in.
  • The discount is non-commissionable.
  • The rate is only available via the IHG Travel Agent Portal, or by calling the Central Reservation Office (CRO) at 1- 800-810-4499. 

The program has a higher discount than some of the other travel agents programs like Marriott Fam-tastic, Hyatt, and Hilton. On top of that, travel agents can earn IHG One Rewards points when booking stays which is a big plus that the other hotel chains don’t provide.
