chase IHG is not a bad card!

[slap_happy]

didnt really know about this card until my wife mentioned it to me and then I started looking into it and im surprised that Its not talked about more then it is. I understand IHG are not top flight hotels but there is a 80k point offer which is good for at least 4 free nights in decent holiday inn express type hotels or about 2 free nights in the better IC brand hotels, then you get a free night in any IHG hotel worldwide annually with no catagory restrictions unlike other "hotel" cards. and the AF is waived first year then $49 which is really worth it since the free night is worth so much more then that. its not a top flight hotel card but an excellent mid level hotel card IMHO.

It's a great card! I will never give it up unless they make a lot of changes in the future.

I just got it and I'm excited to start using the hell out if it.

They also start you off with crazy limits. I have 20000+ plus limit on mine. It's my largest none CU credit limit.

Yeah, this card is definitely under-talked.  80k sign-up bonus, free stay certificate every year, relatively low AF, and Platinum Elite status as long as you're a card holder.  It was definitely worthwhile just for the sign-up bonus and perks even though I don't even stay at IHGs regularly.

I like mine

I got the 60k signup bonus + $50 statement credit offer instead of the 80k.

Crowne Plazas tend to be fairly nice, and HIX in Europe tends to be a very good value. A free night each year, if planned right, can get you a very nice property. I'm partial to the Crowne plaza Amsterdam centre. Amazing location and difficult to get for under $200/night.

I was thinking about getting this card. I stayed at the Holiday Inn in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan and it was nice. I traveled all around Canada and liked the Holiday inn the best. The one in Edmonton was Holiday Inn express and nice room and staff. I will get this card and use it...  a lot.
