I'm just applying where I have an excellent chance of being approved, which is Citi and B of A, and avoiding where I have a very high chance of being denied, which is Chase.
And my point is not to just go on and on about this, but that when someone posts their out of date data points, which right now with Chase is anything over a week ago, I'm pointing that out. Someone who hasn't been following the generic Chase thread and comes here for advice on applying for an IHG card, deserves to be made aware of the brand new Chase policy.

I got an email saying my free night is on it's way on Jun 3. I still have received it yet. Should I be concerned?

Else, call IHG member service and inquire the status of the cert which normally shows up in the Week of your anniversary date.

The free night was in my account on 6/15 and my anniversary is 6/17.
I'm not sure if it was possible in the past ( as some suggested) but this year but I could not add a second persons name to the reservation ( that can check in to the room) like you can with a points reservation.
Maybe you could call and add a second name but it was not an option online.

Yea, I was surprised as well after getting the replies back. Maybe they figured they can be a little bit more generous now that they are denying applicants left and right?

First SM:
That one was denied.
Second SM:
This request was approved....just today, actually.
Hello,
I recently signed up for the IHG Card with an offer of 70,000 points for spending $1,000 within 3 months. Recently I was looking at booking hotels on the IHG website and was shown an offer for this card, but for 80,000 points for spending $1,000 in the first 3 months plus a $50 statement credit after the first purchase. I'm wondering if it's possible to be matched to this better offer, since I obviously can't sign up for the card again.
Thank You.

Hello,
I recently applied for and was approved for the IHG Card with a bonus offer of 70,000 points. Shortly after applying I saw an advertisement on the IHG website for 80,000 points on this card. I was hoping that you could match me to this higher offer.
Thanks,

I'm going to be staying at an IHG hotel soon so I'm going to get this card tomorrow (60k miles +$50 offer).
I have exactly new credit cards the past 2 years. Is this going to be a problem? High credit score, Chase checking/savings user, great credit (high 700s).
I hope it's really just the Sapphire and Freedom and Chase brands catching churners. Any experience lately?
