Good afternoon everyone, I have a quick update to my recent post: Get Matched to the New Chase IHG Rewards Premier 100,000 Point Sign Up Bonus. In that post, I sent Chase a Secure Message (SM) and got matched from the 80,000 IHG Points sign up bonus to the 100,000 IHG Points sign up bonus. In the comments section of that post, readers wanted to know if I would still get the $50 statement credit after my first purchase if I accepted the higher sign up bonus offer. I’m happy to report that the $50 statement credit posted a few days ago. My first purchase posted on August 7 and the $50 statement credit posted on August 13, roughly 1 week later. My $89 annual fee posted on August 1, which is roughly 2 weeks before the $50 statement credit posted.

Hilton, Hyatt, IHG and AAdvantage Points Sale–Expiring Starting Tomorrow!
Seems to me hotel and airline loyalty program points fall into a few different categories. Some points you know you’ll put to great use, and some points you’ll likely use and even have a general travel plan for. And some hotel and airline points you scratch your head and wonder how the heck you’ll use them! Whether or not to buy hotel and airline points when promotions are running depends on which of these three categories the loyalty program falls into. When it comes to Hyatt points, Hilton points, and IHG points, I always have a plan for them!
We have a few hotel points sales going on right now with Hyatt, Hilton, and IHG. The sales expire soon, so take a look if you’re planning some hotel stays and can use these points at a discount. We also have an American Airlines AAdvantage sale going on right now, as well. It’s not the best offer ever. But if you’re tapped out of AA miles like I am after using a huge stash of my miles for my trip to Spain, and need some AA miles for trips you’re planning, a discount, even a small one, is better than paying full price when you need to top off your account.

Keep, Cancel or Convert? Old Chase IHG Rewards Select & Hyatt Credit Cards
Good morning everyone. A few readers have asked me if they should keep their old Chase IHG Rewards Select Credit Card ($49 annual fee) and old Chase Hyatt Credit Card ($75 annual fee) in exchange for the annual free night certificate. As a reminder, the free night certificates are not really free, since you pay the annual fee before getting the free night certificate – they are more like prepaid free night certificates with a strict expiration date. Both of these credit cards are no longer available to new applicants, so if you do not have these credit cards right now, there is no way for you to get them now. That also means that if you ever cancel or upgrade to the new Chase IHG Rewards Premier Credit Card or the new Chase World of Hyatt Credit Card, you will never be able to get the old Chase IHG Rewards Select Credit Card and old Chase Hyatt Credit Card again.
Unboxing my Chase IHG Rewards Premier Credit Card: Card Art, Brochure & Welcome Letter
Good morning everyone, I hope your weekend is going well. During my Mini July App-O-Rama, I was approved for the Chase IHG Rewards Premier Credit Card (my referral link). Then a few days later, I was matched to the 100,000 IHG Points sign up bonus offer. Before the credit card arrived, I receive an email from Chase on August 1 that a new credit card was mailed to me. The email did not specify which credit card, but I figured it was my new Chase IHG Rewards Premier Credit Card.
A few days later, I received a letter in the mail, dated July 27, that I was approved for the Chase IHG Rewards Premier Credit Card, but Chase called it the INTERCONTINENTAL HOTELS GRP World Elite card. Even though I was only approved for a $2,000 credit limit and needed to spend $3,000 on the credit card to complete the minimum spend requirement, I wasn’t worried. I knew I could call Chase and have them move some of my credit limit from another Chase credit card to my new Chase IHG Rewards Premier Credit Card.
Get Matched to the New Chase IHG Rewards Premier 100,000 Point Sign Up Bonus
Good afternoon everyone. Doctor of Credit wrote an article this morning about a great sign up bonus on the Chase IHG Rewards Premier Credit Card. By using this link, you can get 100,000 IHG points after spending $3,000 in 3 months + $50 statement credit after first purchase. Last week, I signed up for the Chase IHG Rewards Premier Credit Card during my Mini July App-O-Rama, but the sign up bonus was only 80,000 IHG points after spending $2,000 in 3 months + $50 statement credit after first purchase. The only difference between these 2 offers is the extra $1,000 in minimum spending to get an extra 20,000 IHG points, that is basically 20x IHG points / $ on the last $1,000 in spending. I like that earning rate.
