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.

New to all of this? My “introduction to miles and points” book, MilesTalk: Live Your Wildest Travel Dreams Using Miles and Points is available on Amazon and at major booksellers.

I got "in the game" in 2003 and since then I've collected literally millions and millions of frequent flyer miles and hotel points. I've flown around the world in first class seats that would cost $29,000 using frequent flyer miles and a few bucks in tax. And I've stayed in some of the finest hotels - all for free! A few years ago I realized many of my friends actually thought I was paying for these!! So I started sharing my tips. It's long been a passion, but when I hosted a session on Miles and Points at the South by Southwest festival, my love of the game intensified and this blog was born.
