The IHG(R) Rewards Premier Credit Card now has it’s highest ever pure points offer, at 175,000 bonus points after spending $3,000 on purchases within the first three months of account opening. Now, arguably the offer for 140,000 points and free night up to 40k was better, however this gives you full flexibility of points, especially considering you get the 4th night free on a reward stay of 4 or more nights.
The United Quest card is interesting only that, although the mileage offer dropped by 20,000 miles, it gained 500 PQPs on the offer – the first time I think I’ve seen United offer PQPs in a new card bonus offer.
Beyond that, I thought I’d just share the old and new offers below. You can click the card name for more info on that card and for how to apply.
