How long is this 140,000-point offer available?

The 140,000-point offer doesn't have a published end date; however, welcome offers tend to change multiple times each year. Given this, make sure to apply sooner rather than later then if you're interested in taking advantage of this lucrative bonus.

Can I upgrade from the IHG Traveler Card to the Premier Card?

Yes, existing IHG Traveler cardholders may be eligible for an upgrade to the Premier Card, but upgrade offers typically don't include the full welcome bonus. If you're eligible for a new account, applying directly for the Premier Card would be more beneficial to receive the 140,000-point bonus.

How does the free night certificate work?

The annual free night certificate is automatically deposited into your IHG account after your card anniversary each year. It can be used at any IHG property costing up to 40,000 points per night. If you want to book a property that costs more than 40,000 points, you can now supplement the certificate with points from your account to cover the difference.

Can I have both the personal and business IHG Premier cards?

Yes, you can hold both the personal IHG Premier Card and the IHG Premier Business Card simultaneously, and earn the welcome bonus on each if you meet the eligibility requirements.

Do the points from this welcome bonus count toward IHG elite status?

No, points earned from credit card welcome bonuses do not count toward elite status qualification in the IHG One Rewards program. However, the card automatically provides Platinum Elite status regardless of your stay activity.

How long do IHG points last before expiring?

IHG One Rewards points expire after 12 months of inactivity. However, having the IHG Premier Card keeps your account active through your card spending, effectively preventing point expiration as long as you use the card occasionally.
