My employer uses IHG almost exclusively and we are allowed to use a very generous discount as a leisure rate too or I would be searching for another card.
You can definitely hold both cards as many of us are already doing that. You should get the bonus as it is a different product. However, it would be a few weeks before any of us can tell you for sure that we got it. I can confirm that I received the $50 statement credit a few days after my first purchase.
