So with the debut soon of Chase Freedom Unlimited and my CSP app next year, I will have the ultimate trifecta. Freedom 5% cats, FU 1.5% and CSP. My question is do I really need IHG as well since I can transfer thru CSP to IHG? Is it redundant to have both? Or is it worth keeping IHG for the free night stay at any property in the world?. Just trying to trim fat where I can.

I guess I'll be the lone cowboy here then....

Don't have the IHG but I do have the Hyatt and since I'll get the free room each year and have the CSP/INK combo.

I can take UR points and top off my account for extra days instead of using say 3 days of UR points I'll only be using 2

Not to mention the perks of status if obtained from spending on the hotel card....upgrades.more bonus points, early checkin and out etc etc 

So my thinking is to double down making my card more valuable in my case

---

So would I lose my Platinum Elite status if I closed IHG card?

---

  Yes.

+1 you sure would meaning no free perks and now you would have to pay for those

I personally would keep it for the platinum elite status and the free night. Those two benefits alone justify the annual fee of $49.
