As the summer temperatures rise, so do the exciting introductory offers on select IHG Hotels credit cards.
Between July 11 and Sept. 4, 2024, new applicants for the IHG One Rewards Premier Credit Card and the IHG One Rewards Traveler Credit Card can take advantage of the following limited-time offers:
The new sign-up bonus for the IHG One Rewards Traveler Credit Card is a significant increase from the previous offer of 80,000 points after spending $2,000 in three months. With BW valuing IHG points at 0.8 cents each, this new offer is worth approximately $800. This is a generous offer for a card with a $0 annual fee.
The shift from a points-based sign-up bonus to free-night certificates on the $99 annual fee IHG One Rewards Premier Credit Card is a trend seen more often among hotel credit cards. Each certificate can be used for a room valued at up to 60,000 points per night, making the new offer worth up to 300,000 points at the highest level — a substantial increase from the card’s previous bonus of 140,000 bonus points after spending $3,000 on purchases in the first 3 months. Keep in mind that certificates expire 12 months from the date of issue, so it’s important to have a plan in place to use them before applying for the card.
Apart from the changes to the sign-up bonuses mentioned above, the benefits on IHG consumer credit cards remain constant. Both new and existing cardholders will continue to enjoy the following ongoing advantages:

🤓Nerdy Tip
Points earned through the sign-up bonus on the IHG One Rewards Traveler Credit Card can be combined with the fourth-night-free benefit when redeeming points for four or more nights. However, the free-night certificates earned with the IHG One Rewards Premier Credit Card cannot be used for a free fourth night.
