IHG forum thread about the new cards (and grandfathered old card for those have it already):
https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/inte...d-options.html
For discussion prior to April 2018, see this archived thread.
Q. Where can I learn more about the annual free-night certificate associated with this card? How long are the certificates good for? Are the certificates revoked if you cancel your Chase card?
A. See Annual Free Night Cert from IHG (Rewards Club) Visa / Mastercard.
Q. Once I meet the 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 account within a few days thereafter.
NOTE: If you complete your required spending in the last 7-10 days of the statement period, 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.
Q. Can I apply for this card and earn the bonus after doing so previously?
A. For answers to these and other questions, see the wiki and related discussion in the master discussion thread https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/chase-ultimate-rewards/2016194-applying-chase-business-cards-april-2020-onward.html
Q. Will the signup bonus count toward Spire Elite status?
A. No.

I also checked mine, and also still have the Platinum status from the old card.
Meanwihle, the new Premier also gives Platinum status:
https://creditcards.chase.com/a1/ihg/premiernaep
so I don't see why that would be an explanation either.

Why upgrade when you can just apply for the new card, get the full sign up bonus, and keep the old one open? That way you get 2 certificates a year for an average cost of $69. Plenty of nice European Crowne Plazas and Intercontinentals that rent for 3 times that amount. Not "free" of course, but what is anymore?

On the Chase website (https://www.chase.com/personal/credi...r/earn-rewards)
I see only a description of the card, but no "Apply Now" option.
Do you have a direct application link?
Thanks.
