In January, I stayed one night at Holiday Inn Krakow, Poland for $103. In February, I stayed 2 nights at Holiday Inn London Kensington for $214.

These two international hotel stays completed 5 of 6 tasks in my IHG Rewards Club Accelerate 2017 promotion tasks to earn 39,700 bonus points with IHG Accelerate and 4,623 points for the two hotel stays.

$317 hotel spend for 3 hotel nights earned 44,323 total points. That is a points earning rate on hotel stays equivalent to paying $7.15 per 1,000 IHG Rewards Club points, which is not unreasonable to spend for IHG points alone.

Even better, I earned 44,323 IHG Rewards Club points at $7.15 per 1,000 points while staying 3 nights in hotels I needed on trips in Krakow, Poland and central London.
