We are an independent publisher. Our reporters create honest, accurate, and objective content to help you make decisions. To support our work, we are paid for providing advertising services. Many, but not all, of the offers and clickable hyperlinks (such as a “Next” button) that appear on this site are from companies that compensate us. The compensation we receive and other factors, such as your location, may impact what ads and links appear on our site, and how, where, and in what order ads and links appear. While we strive to provide a wide range of offers, our site does not include information about every product or service that may be available to you. We strive to keep our information accurate and up-to-date, but some information may not be current. So, your actual offer terms from an advertiser may be different than the offer terms on this site. And the advertised offers may be subject to additional terms and conditions of the advertiser. All information is presented without any warranty or guarantee to you.

This page may include: credit card ads that we may be paid for (“advertiser listing”); and general information about credit card products (“editorial content”). Many, but not all, of the offers and clickable hyperlinks (such as a “Apply Now” button or “Learn More” button) that appear on this site are from companies that compensate us. When you click on that hyperlink or button, you may be directed to the credit card issuer’s website where you can review the terms and conditions for your selected offer. Each advertiser is responsible for the accuracy and availability of its ad offer details, but we attempt to verify those offer details. We have partnerships with advertisers such as Brex, Capital One, Chase, Citi, Wells Fargo and Discover. We also include editorial content to educate consumers about financial products and services. Some of that content may also contain ads, including links to advertisers’ sites, and we may be paid on those ads or links.

    I was in Miami for work last week and stayed at the Kimpton Surfcomber Hotel in South Beach, which is an IHG hotel.  It was perfect for a quick 3-day business trip.  Here’s the hotel’s official marketing video, which gives you a great overview of the hotel!

    Although this was a paid stay for business, you can book a free stay here for 55,000 IHG points per night.  Remember, IHG is a Chase Ultimate Rewards hotel transfer partner.  So you can earn points with cards like the Chase Sapphire Preferred® Card.  Then, transfer them directly to your IHG loyalty account.

    And don’t forget, IHG offers a Points + Cash booking option.  So if you’re short on points, you can use a mix of points & cash to get a discounted stay!

    Highlights of My Stay at the Kimpton Surfcomber Hotel

    I’m a HUGE fan of Kimpton branded hotels.  Because they are all beautifully built in amazing destinations around the world.  The Kimpton hotels I’ve stayed in have comfortable rooms, delicious food, great service and amenities, and of course, my favorite part – the complimentary wine in the evenings and fresh coffee in the mornings.  It’s the little things in life that make all the difference.  And wine and coffee make my world go round!

    Here are a few of my favorite things about the Kimpton Surfcomber hotel:

    Pool or Beach? Always One of the Toughest Decisions When Visiting South Beach!

    The Social Club is the hotel’s restaurant, which is located on the ground floor of the hotel.  It’s really good and the atmosphere is terrific with a fun crowd eating, drinking, and socializing.  I ordered room service twice and it was delivered in less than 20 minutes both times!

    The Food at The Social Club at the Kimpton Surfcomber Was Delicious!

    The room was nice, nothing spectacular, and definitely not 5-star.  But for a quick business trip, it was all I needed!

    If you want to earn IHG points for a free stay at the Kimpton Surfcomber Hotel in South Beach, consider applying for the IHG® Rewards Club Premier Credit Card.  It currently comes with an 140,000 IHG point bonus after spending $3,000 on purchases within the first 3 months of account opening.  Check out our full review of the IHG card!

    I love earning IHG points because I can redeem them for free stays at one of my favorite hotels – the Kimpton Hotel Born in Denver.  It’s an alpine-style, modern luxury hotel with furnishings inspired by alpine aesthetic.  It has an absolutely beautiful interior, the rooms are to die for, floor-to-ceiling windows in each room, and beautiful art curated around the hotel.
