Not sure that finding a CC with a CL of <$1K and which has no fee is that easy these days.

Note I said card, not credit card

, ie use a debit card to guarantee the booking.IHGs system treats debit card numbers (those issued by Visa and Mastercard) the same as Credit Cards in the context of bookings.
