I just got mine last week with a credit limit of $19,000 which I thought was odd but $14,900 is even more odd. They have their secret formulas.

I will be applying for this card and building up my points for the next 12 months with the x4 rewards. Planning on a trip to Disney with the family and need 3 rooms. (Still need to look into the possibility if getting a suite for us all, if possible.)

Got mine on Friday. I was pleasantly surprised to see that it was a metal card with the same feel as the CSR. I stay at a Crowne Plaza when I visit my company's headquarters (I pay the hotel and airfare up front, they reimburse, it's a great system), so I figured why not take advantage of this sign up offer. Honestly, the complimentary room per year after the anniversary makes it worth it anyway.

So if you had a choice to get only one card ..this card or the preferred card which you will get

shifu, you did the same strategy as I did. We both got ink cards at the same time. Also asked wife to get the ihg card at the same day. You read my mind? Haha

Im waiting for my card. How come nobody is mentioning the $50 statement credit?

What’s weird is that my CC spending limit was low( $2k) so I had transferred some from my other CC to increase the limit.

HELP PLEASE! so i applied for the IHG premier card with intentions of using 3k in 3months but my spending limit is $2,600 which only leaves me enough room to spend $780/month to stay on 30% usage, if i spend more then 30% each month on this card my credit will go down. i Just applied and got accepted last night, i was thinking maybe doing a credit increase but its a hard pull, but thats a low impact and Usage is high impact, please lmk what youd recommend, thank you !

I love Kimpton hotels…great boutique line. They have free premium coffee and tea in the mornings, wine hour, and usually nice restaurants. I just opened FU and CSP in last 2 months. Bummed I can’t get this card. Kimpton just opened here in Sacramento I could’ve done staycation weekend😂. Happy for your wife…

Did your wife have to request a metal version of that card? I got it almost a year and a half ago, and it sure wasn't metal. Either way, good on her for grabbing that card with that new bonus! 🙂

This card is great for status matches:

Hilton Diamond Status Challenge 90 days

Radisson Gold Elite

Best Western Diamond

Wyndam Diamond

La Quinta Elite

Best move is match your Wyndam Diamond to Ceasars Total Rewards Diamond

Hertz Presidents Circle Gold

National Executive Elite

I have that card as well and I’m looking to book a the intercontinental in Tokyo as well. My family and I are planning to go in summer 2020.

Any tips on booking that stay?

I just received my card in the mail and it was plastic. I called up Chase and they said they discontinued the metal card for IHG 🙁

Just got this card with the 125k bonus… This card sucks. Can’t even add it to Apple Pay! And they stopped making metal. I ended up with a lousy cheap material plastic!

I'm just received this card in the mail today and Chase sent me a piece of plastic!!! NO metal card!!! Another big disappointment from Chase. This is the 2nd time this happens for me!!! First time was the Marriott Bonvoy. They don't keep promises. One thing is what they advertise and other you'll receive. I'm not applying for their cards anymore!!!

I applied for the card and it’s plastic why is that?

Tragically, these are made of plastic now. I just got one. I called Chase, and they said they haven't been metal for almost a year. BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

Gotta love the 140,000 point bonus, though.

18.24% APR is considered good? My 9.65% NFCU Cash Rewards just laughed out loud. Joke aside, IHG is offering crazy good points rates in Thailand and Singapore for December 2021 and January 2022. The IC Singapore is pricing out at 36k/night and the Hotel Indigo Bangkok at 12.5k/night.

Stay away from this card rarely can you use your points and only at very ugly hotels and some places like Cancun they have only one choice.
