Get Free Kindle Books Through the IHG App

Stumbled across this a few months ago when I was staying at the new Holiday Inn in Sonoma — via the IHG app, all Rewards Club members can get free Kindle books. It wasn’t quite as great as I first hoped since it turns out the free Kindle books are limited to select titles, but not going to complain about free books. 🙂

No stay is required, just an IHG account and their app. You can sign up right now for a (free) new account and be able to download a free book twice a year. And the higher your status, the more books you can download. Note: it appears to be limited to customers in the US.

• Club members will receive 1 free download bi-annually
• Gold Elite members will receive 1 free download per quarter
• Platinum Elite members will receive 2 free downloads per quarter
• Spire Elite members will receive 3 free downloads per quarter
