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?

Q. Will the signup bonus count toward Spire Elite status?
A. No.

40x IHG Spend Promotion from Fall 2019
Anybody else sign up for this card last fall when they were including an extra 15x bonus points on IHG spend in the first year (advertising it as a total of 40x points)?
Given Covid-19 I’m wondering if anyone has inquired about getting this period extended since it’s not possible to travel?

Chase card points not posting in full?
Just a data point but maybe something for others to look out for. My April Chase IHG statement showed 4 categories of points - all correct. However the one that was for 'IHG Rewards Premier Card nonIHG Spend 3X Bns' did not post to my IHG account. The other 3 were just fine. I looked back at my previous months' postings and everything looked in order. After a call to IHG and then a transfer to Chase (thought they were not available but call went through) Chase has created a ticket and they said to expect it to take 14 business days for any resolution.

I have the old IHG card ($49 fee) and have for years. I read somewhere that you can apply for the 140,000 bonus card ($89 fee) and get the bonus and hold both cards. Anyone else have any experience with this? I am looking at getting this to build up some points for a trip next year (or whenever it is safe to travel)
Thanks,

4th night free benefit
Approved for the IHG Traveller card 10 days ago. Recd card today. Looking forward to 4th night free benny foremost. When does this take effect on the website upon log in? I tried a dummy booking today and still shows 4 std reward nights as 4 times xx,xxx. Do I have to call to trigger this?
Also, any ideas on when the 140k signup bonus offer might return?

140K bonus is gone but if you have a spouse/travel partner with the old $49 IHG card they can get a 10k referral so the total bonus is 135K

Thanks for the DP. Based on searching this thread and google, it appears the 4th night free benefit activates about a week after card approval.
