IHG One Pass pricing cannot be separated from eligibility. IHG's official terms limit the programme to colleagues and validly connected Plus Ones and Friends.
Official structure
Plus Ones share 30 nights per year, Friends share 50, reservations are limited to two rooms per night, and stays cannot exceed seven nights. The reserving Pass Holder must identify themselves, check in and remain.
Seller prices are not IHG fees
This article has described third-party options at about $499 for a Friends package, $999 for a 30-night employee-rate package and up to about $1,199. Preserve them only as seller prices. IHG does not publish them as fees for buying eligibility and prohibits sale/trade of One Pass rates.
No fixed savings guarantee
Eligible users should compare the exact official One Pass rate with the same public room, occupancy, taxes, cancellation terms and dates. A fixed ladder or “up to 70%” headline cannot predict a trip.
IHG says compliant programme-rate stays earn points and count toward status and Milestone Rewards. That depends on a compliant reservation; it does not validate resold credentials.
Decision
If you have valid eligibility, use the official portal. If a seller cannot document a permitted colleague nomination and asks you to buy credentials or employee-equivalent access, do not proceed.
