Automated IHG Points Expiry Reminders
Every Monday, WebRun opens IHG, checks the current points balance and expiry date, logs the balance on the loyalty tracker in Google Drive, and texts the traveler over Twilio once expiry is inside 30 days, so a balance built up over dozens of stays never quietly disappears.
How do I stop my IHG points from expiring before I use them?
WebRun checks IHG every Monday for the current points balance and expiry date, logs it on a loyalty tracker in Google Drive, and texts the traveler over Twilio once expiry is inside 30 days. Travel managers protect a points balance built up over many stays instead of losing it to inactivity.
- A near term expiry always reaches the traveler by text
- The loyalty tracker keeps a running record of the balance
- No accumulated points balance disappears from inactivity

Every action is checked against this policy before it runs.
Questions, answered
Will it book a stay or redeem points to save them?
No. WebRun only reads the balance and expiry date. Booking a stay or redeeming points to reset the expiry clock is always the traveler's own decision.
How is the expiry date calculated?
It reads the account's own expiry policy and last qualifying activity directly from IHG, so the countdown always matches what the loyalty program actually tracks.
Why wait until 30 days out to text?
An early reminder tends to get ignored. Texting once there's a real, near term deadline makes the alert worth acting on immediately.
