IHG CC to Partners IHG Account
Hey,
Can my girlfriend get an IHG credit card (US) and assign it to my IHG account?
I am assuming no. I couldn't really find any information online.
But...have to ask!
Cheers folks.

I signed up few months ago for 60,000 points and $50 statement credit after $1,000 spend and I sent a secure message to get extra 20,000 points. I got a reply saying that they need my permission to re-bill the $50 statement credit in order to give me 20,000 points. Ehhhh this is kinda ......, but I'll take 20,000 points for $50.

I'm also in the US, so maybe Canada IHG works a little differently?

The only other thing I can think of that I did was check out the Ambassador program page.
Keep poking around if you're dead-set on getting that offer, but it seems like the offers come up randomly!

LOL I just tried again out of curiosity, and it still shows the 80K+50 credit offer.

I checked out the Ambassador program page, searched for reservations in Bangkok, Shanghai, and Seoul…no dice. Only the 60k offer appeared.
Cleared cookies, made sure the .......er was turned off… I think the website is just flipping me off.

From the login page, what EXACTLY are you doing? I'll try to duplicate it, but I'm losing faith.
