I signed up for the Priority Club Visa via the link in this thread over a year ago, before it changed to the IHG Visa. However, I've never gotten a replacement card with the "IHG" logo, even though my Chase log in shows an IHG card. Anybody else in the same boat? Maybe it got lost in the mail, I don't know, but I guess I never really cared until now, because my IHG Big Win requires me to use my "Chase IHG Visa" to book a stay. And now that I think about it, maybe my card is in someone else's hands!

As for the Big Win, your priority card should work just fine.
But if it reassures you, call the phone number on the back of your cc and ask the CSR.

With "getting $1000 in 3 months" is that in the first 3 billing periods? Or actually 90 days? My january bill is on Jan 6th. But i won't hit my spending requirement for another few days here...

Consider pre-paying your bills to meet the spending limit... I find that I can do this for my electric, water, phone, cable/internet.

Does the 80k offer count for both the Visa Signature AND the Visa Platinum? My last Chase approval was for a $5k limit at the beginning of November so I'm not sure if I will get approved for another Visa Signature.

Call or write Chase to confirm your exact date. For my new Chase Sapphire, I was given 103 days from the date of approval. I don't know if it is the same for the IHG rewards card.

With the 10% rebate on redemptions, I assume it's after you actually complete the stay? Not after you book them? Is it an unlimited amount of points (i.e. if use 1mm points do you get 100k back?)

You get the rebate after you complete the stay. In my experience the rebates have usually come about 3-4 weeks after my stay. I have no idea if there is a limit on the rebates.

So has there been any confirmation that the new IHG card is different from the old PC card? Can I get the 80k signup bonus if I already have a PC card?

I got approved for the card and for the 80k pts (confirmed) late in December. My first statement just closed and I had $900 or so in spend. Just met the $1000 spend requirement today. I am assuming I will have to wait until the close of my 2nd statement to receive the bonus points? If so, that stinks and I should have done a better job of meeting the spend sooner.....

The wiki at the top of this page (and every page in this thread) answers this question & various other FAQs. In general, the wiki for any given FT thread (or the first post, if there's no wiki) is a good source of collective wisdom.

Data point: Just applied through link above. Instant approval. Cancelled old Chase Priority Club Visa February 2012. Hope I get the 80K. I have 5 chase cards, this is my sixth. Will let you know when it comes. Already showing on line with 4.5K credit line.
