Do you have the IHG CARD?
No Not personally since I usually don't go to that group of hotels but it is a cheaper AF which might be good to look at

Me neither haven't been to Hyatt nor IHG- heck haven't stayed on Marriott or hilton neither I just have them due to the bonus they pay out. I'm an SPG guy but I don't have an SPG card.. Yet.
I have Stayed in a Holiday inn a few weeks ago since I was in Bridgeport and the only hotel in the area and it was pretty nice. $165 for the night including taxes and fees. They do have some nice hotels in the group though it seems

I have a 5K purchase for airline tickets in the next month and looking at what is the best card out there to open in terms of points value and benefits?
I know the cards below would be the most suggested but I already have them.
Barclays Arrival
CSP
Chase Marriott
CITI Executive/ AAdvantage World Elite
CITI Hilton Honors
Thank you always!
How about the Ritz Carlton Card? Sign up bonus floating around right now are 70K fee waived or 140k with AF. Combined with your 70k Marriott sign up bonus, the 140k points added could be used for Marriott Reward vacation packages that start at 200k points. The packages include 7 nights and 50k or 55k airline miles.
The benefits of the Ritz card:
- stays at Ritz/Marriott's get 5X points / 2X dining, travel
- Primary CDW
- $300 airline incidental credit per calendar year on any airline
- Lounge Club - unlimited visits, #of guests
- Gold Status at Ritz/Marriott beginning at sign up and yearly thereafter w/ $10K spend
- Executive line CSR - no prompts and gets answered by person immediately, CSR's located in US and are very professional and accommodating
- chip & sig, no FTF
- unlimited no fee AU's allowed
- Concierge services
- and if it matters to you - heavy metal card (twice the weight of Marriott) and impressive welcome package.
This is one my favorite benefits card and with the $300 airline credit, it essentially only costs $95 for AF.
isn't the AF $395? Says so on the website or do they have another card other then Chases?
