Q. Once I meet the $1000 spending requirement, how soon will I receive my bonus points?
A. Bonus points typically accrue at the close of the billing period in which you incur the corresponding charges. Points should appear in your IHG RC account within a day or two thereafter.
NOTE: If you complete your $1000 required spending within 7-10 days of your statement close, the bonus may not post until the following month's statement, even if the regular per-dollar points post on the first statement. This is normal behavior for Chase and is not worth a phone call.

Question regarding authorized users and paid stays
I apologize if this is in the wrong place.
My wife and I both have the IHG credit card. I will be traveling solo for work and will be staying at an IHG-branded hotel. I could use my CC and get points, but would rather use her card where I am an authorized user on to earn IHG bonus points.
Is this possible? I assume when checking in they would take my IHG #, so which CC I use is almost moot. Am I correct in thinking this? Thanks.

The points for the STAY will post to your account, the points for the CHARGES will post to her account.

Oh well, I don't think I had a chance to fullfill all the offers anyway.

If I canceled my IHG Visa in Oct 2013 and were to apply for the IHG MC now, do you think I'll get the 80k bonus again?

The deciding factor is not when you canceled the card. It's how long it's been since you got the sign up bonus for that card. If it's been more than 2 years since the bonus posted to your IHG account, you are good to go.

But isn't the IHG Visa a different product than the IHG MC?

The 80K links on the wiki gives error pages now. One says "Site not configured yet"
Any offers for 80K out there still?
