Annual fee:

  • The IHG Premier card’s $89 annual fee is waived for the first year with this offer. The previous limited time offer did not offer a fee waiver.
  • The IHG Traveler card has no annual fee.

Welcome bonus terms: 

You can receive the bonus on the IHG Premier card if you haven’t received a bonus on the IHG Premier card in the past 24 months and don’t currently have an IHG Premier card.

You can receive the bonus on the IHG Traveler card if you haven’t received a bonus on the IHG Traveler card in the past 24 months and don’t currently have an IHG Traveler card.

You can get the bonus even if you have the discontinued IHG Select card or received the bonus on that card in the past 24 months. Having the Premier and Select cards means you’ll get 2 annual anniversary nights and you’ll be able to stack unique award discounts that both cards offer as explained below.


5/24:

All Chase cards appear to be subject to 5/24 restrictions, meaning that you are not likely to be approved if you have been approved for 5 or more consumer credit cards in the past 24 months. Note that the Chase system automatically counts cards like authorized user cards and store cards as cards that count towards 5/24, but if you explain to Chase that those cards are merely authorized user cards or store cards they can manually approve you for a new card.

You can check your credit report for free at the federally authorized annualcreditreport.com to check how many accounts are shows as being open in the past 24 months.

Pay your monthly bill on the IHG Premier card and you can get up to $800 per claim and $1,000 per year in cell phone protection against covered theft or damage for all phones on your plan.

Pay your monthly bill on the IHG Traveler card and you can get up to $600 per claim and $1,000 per year in cell phone protection against covered theft or damage for all phones on your plan.

Having the IHG Premier card gives you Platinum elite status, which gives free internet, 50% bonus points, upgrades, welcome amenity, late checkout, and more.

Having the IHG Traveler card gives you Gold elite status, which gives free internet, 10% bonus points, upgrades, welcome amenity, late checkout, and more.


Non-expiring points:

IHG Premier and Traveler Cardmembers’ IHG points will not expire for as long as they remain a cardholder.


4th award night free:

When IHG Premier or IHG Traveler cardholders book an award stay, every 4th night will be free!

If you have both the discontinued IHG Select card and the IHG Premier or IHG Traveler card you’ll get every 4th award night free AND a 10% rebate on award nights! 


Global Entry/TSA Pre-Check:

IHG One Rewards Premier Credit Cardholders will get reimbursed for Global Entry/TSA Pre-Check charges every 4 years. Those programs make flying so much easier!

IHG One Rewards Premier Credit Cardholders will earn 25 points per dollar, which consists of 10 points per dollar on the card, 10 points per dollar from IHG for the stay, and 5 bonus points per dollar from IHG for being a Platinum elite member, which is automatic for cardholders. Bookings must be made directly on IHG.com.

IHG One Rewards Traveler Credit Cardholders will earn 17 points per dollar, which consists of 5 points per dollar on the card, 10 points per dollar from IHG for the stay, and 2 bonus points per dollar from IHG for being a Gold elite member, which is automatic for cardholders.

Spend Threshold:

You’ll need to spend $2,000 or $3,000 within 3 months to receive the bonus.

You can pay your federal taxes for a 1.87% fee. If you overpay your taxes you can request a refund or apply it to your next year’s taxes.

My local natural gas company allows me to prepay up to $1,000 on a credit card for a $1.65 flat fee. That’s a great way to earn miles and help meet a spend threshold. My electricity supplier allows me to pay with a credit card for free as long as I am enrolled in autopay.

How long will this offer be available for?

Lcm

Can you downgrade to the traveler after the first year?

David

Yes you can. I just did it.

Berl

I closed my premier few weeks ago after the annual fee posted. I got the annual fee refunded. However I still see the free night certificate in my account. Is that a glitch or if I didn’t pay the annual fee they should of disable the certificate?

Akron Amigo

You are good, I’ve done that many times. You get the certificate for completing the year of holding the card, not for paying the fee for the “next” year. There will be no issues. They will not claw it back.

Yochai

Can I apply for both?

Jew

Does it always work like this? As soon as one limited offer ends, another begins?

EB

Interesting observation, as although was marriot and united that ended today, all are chase cards.
Only issue is the CSP should have only offered 80K starting today if your theroy is correct

Jew

Hehe true

Recon for CPC?

How’s Recon going for CPC folks these days?

CF

How much do I have to declare income a year to qualify for this credit card?

D

Data Point: I opened this card in August with the other offer, and just had chase match it and refund me the annual fee

kachnik

For the many people who are losing their annual free night because of the expiration on December 31,2020, I have some good news. I had booked a free night stay at the 30K Tel Aviv Crowne Plaza Beach with my annual certificate, but they reclosed and just informed me they were cancelling the reservation. I called IHG and they gave me 40K points for turning in my expiring certificate! Hurry, thus is a limited time offer.():-)

Harry

There is no more Intercontinental Prague

DoB

I misread “Prague” as “Plague” – very 2020.

Mordy13

So to clarify , If I currently own the IHG Premier Card but have never signed up for the IHG Traveler Card I would be eligible for the Traveler’s 100K sign up bonus after 2K spend ?

Shalom

Which ihg card covers for cell phone insurance

josh

what about intercontinental Tel Aviv? @dan, do you recommend this card? Where does it stand vs Sapphire?

haim

I got approved for the premier about 2 weeks ago and i see they already charged me the annual fee…
