Lowes has distribution centers and vendor meetings scattered across Southern California, and San Diego is a regular destination for regional managers, supply chain teams, and store leadership attending conferences at the Convention Center. Corporate code 924806 drops your nightly rate at the InterContinental San Diego, one of the nicest IHG properties on the West Coast, to a price that is actually competitive with the mid-tier Holidays Inns nearby. You get a waterfront luxury hotel for what your per diem likely already covers.
The Property
The InterContinental San Diego sits at 901 Bayfront Court, directly on San Diego Bay in the heart of the Embarcadero district, with the Convention Center a short walk south and the Gaslamp Quarter two blocks east. The hotel opened in 2018, so the building and finishes still feel current, and most rooms face the marina or Coronado Bridge. San Diego International Airport is only a 9 minute drive, roughly 4.3 km, making it one of the easiest airport-to-hotel commutes in any major U.S. city.
Standard rooms start around 325 square feet with floor-to-ceiling windows, and the higher floors on the bay side have unobstructed water views that justify asking for an upgrade. Every room has a large work desk with accessible power outlets and USB ports, plus reliable high-speed Wi-Fi that IHG One Rewards members get for free. Suites and club-level rooms are available, though the corporate code typically applies to the base room categories.
The rooftop pool on the 22nd floor overlooks the bay and is heated year-round, which is a legitimate perk for unwinding after a long day of meetings. There is a full fitness center, a ground-floor restaurant called Vistal, and a lobby lounge bar that is popular for casual business dinners. The hotel does not offer complimentary breakfast at this tier, but IHG One Rewards Platinum and Diamond Elite members receive club lounge access where a continental spread is included.
The San Diego Convention Center is a 10 minute walk along the waterfront, and the Gaslamp Quarter's restaurants and bars start two blocks from the hotel entrance. For a quick lunch between meetings, Puesto and The Crack Shack are both within a five minute walk. The trolley's Convention Center station is right outside for easy trips to Old Town or the Santa Fe Depot, where Amtrak and Coaster trains connect to Los Angeles and North County.
Your Savings Breakdown
| Rate Tier | Rack Rate | Corporate Rate | Points Earned | Point Value | Net Cost | Savings |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Standard | $130 | $111 | 1,110 pts | $5.55 | $105.45 | $24.55 |
| Superior | $210 | $179 | 1,790 pts | $8.95 | $170.05 | $39.95 |
| Premium | $340 | $289 | 2,890 pts | $14.45 | $274.55 | $65.45 |
On a typical midweek night, the standard rack rate runs about $210, but entering Lowes corporate code 924806 drops that to around $179, saving you $31 before you even factor in points. You will earn roughly 1,790 IHG One Rewards points on that stay, worth about $8.95 at the standard 0.5 cents per point valuation, which brings your effective net cost down to $170.05. That is nearly $40 in total value back on a single night at a waterfront InterContinental, which is hard to beat.

Stack Your Savings
If you hold IHG One Rewards Gold Elite status or above, the corporate code stacks with your elite perks including room upgrades when available, late checkout, and bonus point earning. Platinum and Diamond members earn 60% and 100% bonus points respectively on top of the base 10 points per dollar, meaning that $179 night could earn you 2,864 or even 3,580 points instead of the base 1,790. That nearly doubles the points value and pushes your effective savings well past $40.
The IHG One Rewards Premier Credit Card from Chase earns 10x bonus points on IHG purchases, which effectively doubles your earning rate to 20 points per dollar at this property. On a $179 corporate rate night, that is 3,580 points from the card alone, on top of the 1,790 base earning from your stay. Even the no-fee IHG One Rewards Traveler Card earns 5x at IHG hotels, and both cards come with automatic Platinum Elite status or a path to it.
IHG frequently runs quarterly promotions like bonus points after two or three stays, and registering before you travel is essential since they will not retroactively apply unregistered promos. Booking midweek, especially Tuesday through Thursday, tends to yield the lowest corporate rate availability, while weekend leisure demand in San Diego can sometimes push the corporate rate higher or restrict it entirely. Check the IHG app a week or two before travel since rates occasionally drop further as the date approaches.
Bottom Line: Depending on the season and day of week, Lowes employees using code 924806 can expect to save between $25 and $65 per night at the InterContinental San Diego, with IHG points stacking additional value on top. This is a legitimate luxury waterfront hotel steps from the Convention Center and Gaslamp Quarter, at a price point that fits most corporate travel budgets. For any Lowes trip to San Diego, it is the best combination of location, quality, and value in the IHG portfolio here.
