The following are the terms and Conditions to note for this offer:

Bonus points will be awarded to the recipient of the points purchase. Offer is subject to change. Offer cannot be combined with any other offer. Only purchases made online are eligible for bonus.

Price includes all applicable fees. Purchased Points are not refundable and are applicable toward all IHG® Rewards Club awards. Members may purchase a maximum of 120,000 points per calendar year and receive as a gift a maximum of 120,000 points per calendar year. Please allow 24-48 hours for points to post and appear in the recipient’s account. All other IHG® Rewards Club Terms and Conditions apply.”

IHG points come in handy for their high-end Intercontinental properties where many times it makes sense to use points instead of paying the real rate and that are where I end up using most of my points or also the PointsBreak lists whereby you can redeem for just 5,000 points. IHG usually runs 100% bonus promotion multiple times during the year hence I would be giving this one a pass and wait for that one. If anyone of you wants to top up some points to redeem now, this maybe a good way to use for now.

Update: There is a better deal as part of US Travel Daily Getaways offering 100,000 for USD $565. You can check it out here here
