IHG Premier Credit Card 140,000 Point Bonus Offer

‘The IHG Premier Rewards Club credit card is back to offering it’s Best Ever elevated bonus offer for 140,000 bonus IHG points when you spend $3,000 within 3 months.

The annual fee of $89 is now, for the first time, also waived the first year. 

You could also opt for the fee-free IHG Traveler Card where you’ll get 100,000 bonus points for $2,000 in spend, but, I think the Premier is easily the better deal because of the free night benefit. and higher bonus.

The IHG Premier Credit Card Comes With Some Great Benefits

This card comes with both an annual free night certificate and the ability to get the fourth night free (up to 40,000 points in value) on an award booking, so its $89 annual fee goes pretty far if you tend to stay at IHG properties (i.e. Intercontinental, Holiday Inn).

You also get IHG Platinum status which you can use to get on the Status Match Merry Go Round (whenever Wyndham brings status matches back).

And you get the 4th Night Free on Awards. With the new dynamic pricing being rolled out by IHG, some people are getting some really amazing deals. Consider a scenario where you have 4 nights and the first 3 are 35,000 a night and the 4th is 50,000. IHG is deducting the actual 4th night, meaning you’d get 4 nights for 105,000 points, saving 50,000 points – for about a 33% points discount. If you have a lot of IHG points, this one benefit easily makes the card a winner – even if you don’t actually spend much on the card.

They’ve also added the following to the first year with this offer:

  • An extra 15 points per dollar in your first year at IHG hotels.

And then you will always get:

  • 2X points at gas stations, grocery stores, and restaurants and 1 point/$1 on all other purchases.

The earn rate on anything besides IHG spend isn’t very good, but the bonus offer and 4th night free on award stays

Card Eligibility Considerations

If you already have the old version of the IHG card, you can get this one too, but you won’t be approved if you are over 5/24.

Also: This product is not available to either (i) current cardmembers of this credit card, or (ii) previous cardmembers of this credit card who received a new cardmember bonus for this credit card within the last 24 months.
