Here's my situation: Current IHG select cardholder. Approved for premier card a few days ago, haven't received it yet.
Tried to book 4 night reservation, using my IHG select card as the payment card, since I don't have the new card number.
System is not offering me 4th night free.
Called IHG, they asked if I wanted to change my IHG card on file with them from select to premier.
I said no, because I still want the 10% rebate, I want them to have both cards on file.
Phone rep told me I would have to use the new Premier card number as the payment card when I booked online in order to get 4th night free.
Would that mean I don't get the 10% rebate as a select cardholder? Do you only get the benefits associated with the payment card used to book the reservation?
I haven't completed a stay since the new card. However, my Chase Saphire Preferred is my stored payment method. It never stopped me from getting the 10% rebate before and I still see the 4th night free now with the new card. I don't see why that would matter since these are rewards stays and many times no actual charges end up on the card anyway.
