The IHG® Rewards Club Premier Credit Card (review) is a fantastic hotel credit card that just about everyone should have. For those of you who don’t yet have the card — for whatever reason — you’re in luck, because Chase and IHG have just launched what’s arguably the best offer we’ve ever seen on the card.

IHG Premier Card 140K Welcome Bonus

The IHG Premier Card has an incredible new sign-up bonus of 140,000 IHG Rewards Club points after spending $3,000 within the first three months. That’s a reasonable spending requirement for an exceptional bonus.

For some context, in the past, the standard welcome bonus has typically been 80,000 points, and we’ve seen offers as high as 125,000 points. So this 140,000 point bonus really is the best we’ve seen.

Are You Eligible For The IHG Premier Card?

The welcome bonus on this card isn’t available to those who currently have this specific card, or those who have received a new cardmember bonus on this card in the past 24 months.

However, you are eligible for this card if you have any other version of the IHG credit card, and there can be lots of value in having multiple IHG credit cards.

On top of that the card is subjected to the usual Chase credit card restrictions, including the 5/24 rule.

Why You Should Get The IHG Premier Card

In addition to this great increased bonus, there are so many other reasons to get the IHG Premier Card:

  • The card offers an anniversary free night certificate on your account anniversary every year (capped at 40,000 points per night), which in and of itself more than justifies the $89 annual fee on the card, in my opinion
  • You get IHG Rewards Club Platinum status for as long as you have the card, which offers bonus points, room upgrades, and more
  • You get a fourth night free on award bookings, which can be a great way to stretch your points even further
  • You get a TSA Pre-Check or Global Entry fee credit once every four years

This card is an absolute no brainer. It’s not necessarily a card you should be putting all of your spending on, but it’s totally worth the $89 annual fee to get all those benefits.

IHG Premier Card Summary

We’re now seeing what I’d consider to be the best-ever bonus on the IHG Premier Card, as you can earn 140,000 bonus points with a reasonable spending requirement.

This is a really excellent card that’s worth having long term for the anniversary free night certificate if nothing else, in my opinion. I picked up this card during the last promotion, when there was a 125K bonus, and am really happy with the card — if you don’t yet have it, this is a card you should get.
