IHG Credit Card Master Thread

[clear thinker]

As long as 75k was earned, you should get Spire Elite.

Cool, tnx for the info.

[Marco Polo]

It is not much better than Platinum Elite, but the extra 25k is a nice bonus.

I just got denied a match to the 80k offer. Reason being is that it's an expired offer, and they can't match it. Is there any reason to sm again ?

I actually got Matched on my second try, to the 80k and $50 statement credit.

thanks would never have known to check
extra 25 for free

If I have an active IHG card that I got more than 2 years ago, will I get the sign up bonus if I apply for another one?

[Aron27]

My free night just posted, if I cancel my card will I lose it?

2 months ago. Still have card open. Would like to close and reopen and get the sign up bonus, otherwise known as churning.

Just got the 80k match on my 60k offer. Sent them a SM:

Dear mr x,

Thank you for contacting Chase about the enrollment bonus
on your IHG® Rewards Club Select credit card account.

We have added 20,000 additional points to match the
difference between the offer you applied with and the new
offer for a total of 80,000 points. This adjustment will
appear on your next billing statement. Although IHG®
Rewards generally posts the points within a few days they
do request you allow up to thirty days after the billing
statement has closed to post the points to your account at
IHG® Rewards.

For questions regarding IHG® Rewards Club program or
rewards balance, please call IHG® Rewards Club Service
Center at 1-888-211-9874 or visit www.ihgrewardsclub.com.

If you have any further questions, please reply using the

Thank you,

Hi,

I just signed up for the IHG card and already spent the
minimum needed to qualify for the signup bonus. I was
excited about this card because it very much matches my
needs as a frequent business traveler that likes the IHG
locations.

My signup bonus was 60,000 points however I see that
80,000 is an offer that comes up often. This made me a bit
upset feeling that I jumped the gun on this and should
have waited for the better offer.

Would it be possible to match that offer for the 80,000
bonus miles?

If yes then you will have a very happy and excited
customer! :-

Thanks so much,
mr x

Was matched two weeks ago too, didn't know the bonus no longer qualifies for status   the extra 20k adjustment does count though

really? so the 20k does not count towards the spire status?

When did this happen (that it doesn't count) for status?

The 20k DOES count, the 60k doesn't.
