I just got the new Chase IHG Premier card and was planning to put the Ambassador fee on the IHG card since I thought it would get some nice pts bonus since I'm buying a product from IHG itself...but guess I'll have to use another CC that gets better value. Guess they really want you to spend on hard products to get those bonus pts. Such a shame.
I hear you. I actually was going to do the same thing with my new Premier card also, then found this thread from last time around that I'd completely forgotten about posting.

I assume if I use other CC, does this count as "travel" ? aka will get 3x back if I use my CSR
I actually doubt it will code as travel. Without more intel I'll consider it non-bonused spend.
