Guru’s Wrap-Up
The new Premier Select is clearly positioned above the regular IHG Premier card, with a much higher $350 annual fee but also offers more hotel and travel credits.
The 200,000-point launch bonus is the main attraction up front, while the 60K anniversary night, $300 in annual IHG dining credits and $200 airline credit can provide ongoing value for frequent IHG guests.
At the same time, IHG has also updated its current credit cards. Annual fees are going up, there are some new credits and some perks are going away.
