1) Any prior success in retention offers/waiving annual fee before? If so, how much on average was the retention offer?
2) Re the 4th night free stay. Does a trick of splitting your stay work? Like if you plan to stay 8 nights so you make two 4 night reservations back to back ?
3) Someone mentioned before that the 140K bonus is not great compared to the prior 120K with more add bonus on first year. So you recommend waiting until the old offer comes back?
1. trying to rip off chase before you even get the card?
2. I like to know this too
3. No, the 125k offer was not better in my opinion. I did not intend to use the IHG as my primary card so the added bonus on other categories is moot point. I only plan to use the IHG card at IHG Hotels.
