    IHG (InterContinental Hotels Group) All-Inclusive Resorts

    If you have one of the following eligible Chase IHG credit cards, you will receive aย 4th IHG Reward Night Freeย on points stays of 4 consecutive nights or more.ย 

    • Chase IHG Traveler Credit Card โ€“ Welcome Offer.
    • Chase IHG Premier Credit Card โ€“ Welcome Offer.
    • Chase IHG Premier Business Credit Card โ€“ Welcome Offer.
    But thatโ€™s not all. If you have the discontinued oldย Chase IHG Select Credit Card ($49 annual fee), you also receive aย 10% rebate on points stays. Unfortunately, Chase has now changed the application rule that you will not be approved for theย IHG Premier Credit Card or IHG Traveler Credit Card if you are a current card member of the IHG Select Credit Card.
    Chase IHG Premier Credit Card member also receives anย IHG Anniversary Free Night,ย which is capped at 40,000 IHG points properties, but you can top up the free night reward certificate with IHG points for properties that require more than 40,000 points per night. On the other hand, the IHG anniversary free night reward certificate issued by the Chase IHG Select Credit Card does not have the points top-off feature.ย 

    Furthermore, from time to time, IHG has a promotionย that offersย 50% off reward nights in Mexico, Latin America & the Caribbean, allowing you to use only half of the required points per night. So be on the lookout for that promotion, or subscribe to our blog posts below, and weโ€™ll let you know when that promotion returns.
