In my experience with Chase ( IHG) and requesting bonuses be matched I got a SM CLEARLY stating I would get the matched offer (which I did) , in this case IHG 80K when I applied for 70K.

I would SM Chase and get a response in writing and not go on a conversation with a CSR.

Here is the SM I received I sent and the reply I received from Chase

I signed up under an offer that said I would get 70,000 IHG points for spending $1,000 in 3 months on my new card.

Three days after I applied I was searching for reservations and an offer for 80,000 points popped up for the same type card.

Is there any chance I could get the bonus offer of 80,000 points ?

Thank You


"Dear xxxxxxxxxxxxx,

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

The enrollment bonus you enrolled with allows you to earn
70,000 points after the first $1,000 in spending within
the first three months the account is open. After the
qualifying spending threshold is met, please allow six to
eight weeks for the 70,000 enrollment bonus points.
Purchases do not include balance transfers, cash advances,
cash-like charges such as travelers checks, foreign
currency, and money orders, any checks that access your
account, overdraft advances, interest, unauthorized or
fraudulent charges, or fees of any kind, including an
annual fee, if applicable.

As a gesture of our commitment to you, once your $1,000
spend threshold is met within the three months time frame
requested, we will honor the 80,000 bonus points offer and
issue an additional 10,000 enrollment points to the
account to match the new offer.
