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.

Use the Chase IHG Sign-Up Bonus to Splurge on a Stay at the Luxury InterContinental Bangkok

I’ll show you how to find the better offer for the Chase IHG card.

Better Offer for the Chase IHG Card

Link:   Chase IHG Card

Link:   IHG Hotels

To see the better offer for the Chase IHG card, navigate to the IHG website (do NOT log-in) and search for any hotel in the US.  This trick doesn’t seem to work if you search for international locations.

Proceed to the final booking screen and scroll down to find the ad for the better offer.  You’ll earn 80,000 IHG points after spending $1,000 on purchases in the first 3 months of account opening.  And a $50 statement credit after your first purchase!

Normally, the Chase IHG card’s sign-up bonus is 60,000 IHG points after meeting the minimum spending.  And even the previous improved offer for 80,000 IHG points did NOT include the $50 statement credit.  So this is an excellent deal!

You’ll also get:

The $49 annual fee is waived the first year.  But most folks (including me!) keep the Chase IHG card year after year, even with the annual fee.  Because you get a free night at ANY IHG hotel each cardmember anniversary.  Even at fancy resorts or luxury hotels like the InterContinental New York Times Square!

IHG hotels include Candlewood SuitesCrowne PlazaEVEN HotelsHoliday InnHoliday Inn Club VacationsHoliday Inn ExpressHoliday Inn ResortsHotel IndigoInterContinental Hotels & Resorts, and Staybridge Suites brand hotels.
Save Big Bucks in the Big Apple by Using Your Chase IHG Anniversary Free Night at Hotels Like the InterContinental Times Square

Chase’s tighter application rules do NOT apply to the Chase IHG card.  So even if you’ve opened 5+ cards in the past 24 months (not including Chase business cards and these other business cards), you’re still eligible to sign-up!

Bottom Line

The improved offer for the Chase IHG card is back (and even better!).  To find the offer, make a test booking at a US hotel on the IHG website.

You’ll earn 80,000 IHG points after spending $1,000 on purchases in the first 3 months of account opening.  And a $50 statement credit after your first purchase.

I keep the Chase IHG card in my wallet year after year, even with the $49 annual fee.  Because the annual free night at ANY IHG hotel can be worth many times more than that!

We don’t earn a commission for this offer, but we’ll always share the best deals with you!
