I've seen many posts, here & blogs, about being able to have both the old Chase IHG Rewards Club MC and the new (relatively) Chase IHG Rewards Club Premier MC. I'm sold on the 2nd free night/year and combining the 10% points rebate with 4th-night free when using IHG points.
I've had the legacy card since June 2015 (when I earned a bonus on it) and want to apply for the Premier card now, but saw this language on the application:
If you currently have an IHG Rewards Club Credit Card from Chase, or you earned a new cardmember bonus on that credit card within the last 24 months, you are not eligible to receive another of the same credit card.
I could parse that multiple ways but I'm wondering if anybody here has attempted to add the Premier card (without closing the legacy card) since this language appeared.... how did it work out?
I'm hoping I didn't miss the boat on this opportunity to double-up.
