A current promotional offer for the Chase issued IHG One Rewards Premier Credit Card lets new cardholders earn a large welcome bonus tied to spending requirements. This offer is aimed at travelers who frequently stay at IHG Hotels & Resorts properties.
Welcome Bonus Offer
- Earn 175,000 bonus points
- Requirement: Spend $5,000 in the first 3 months from account opening.
According to the issuer, this bonus can potentially cover multiple free nights at thousands of IHG properties worldwide, depending on the redemption rate and hotel category.
Key Card Features
High Earning at IHG Hotels
Cardholders can earn up to 26X total points per $1 spent at IHG hotels, combining:
- 10X points from using the credit card
- Up to 10X points from IHG membership
- Up to 6X points from Platinum Elite status included with the card.
Everyday Spending Rewards
- 5X points on travel, dining, and gas station purchases
- 3X points on other purchases.
Automatic Elite Status
Cardholders receive automatic Platinum Elite status in the IHG One Rewards loyalty program, which may include benefits like bonus points on stays and possible room upgrades when available.
Anniversary Free Night
Each year after the card anniversary, users receive a free night award redeemable at eligible IHG hotels (with a typical redemption cap of 40,000 points).
Additional Spending Bonus
- Spend $20,000 in a calendar year
- Receive 10,000 bonus points + $100 statement credit.
Why This Offer Stands Out
This card is popular among hotel loyalty enthusiasts because the annual free night and strong welcome bonus can easily offset the $99 annual fee, especially for travelers who stay at IHG properties multiple times per year.
