Guru’s Wrap-up
Two good offers if you are looking to add more IHG points to your accounts. Both offers provide the highest bonuses that we have seen on these two Chase IHG credit cards. Just keep in mind that the 5/25 rule applies to both products.
For some reason I thought the Premier card gave back a 20% rebate on cash room purchases.
Maybe the 20% off Points Purchases?
I just looked up an old blog post, maybe I was thinking about how maximize and stack the IHG cards. With both cards linked to your account the old card gives you the 4th night free but booking with the premium card gives 10x points.
