IHG Rewards Premier Credit Card and IHG Rewards Premier Business Credit Card UA TravelBank Benefit
Per Chase personal and biz application pages: “Receive up to $50 United® TravelBank Cash to use when you book United® or United Express® flights*”
Announced February 2022, first post on this thread (#446, Feb 27, 22, 6:27 am).
Post on this thread specifying link to (try to) receive UA TB credits (#454, Mar 24, 22, 3:47 pm).
Consensus here as of Spring 2022 shortly after the commencement of this benefit was 1 (one) UA TB deposit per name and IHG account, not per credit card. Cardholders of both IHG personal and IHG biz cards received 1 UA TB deposit, some authors wrote that they had contacted IHG and were told the same thing.
As of mid-July 2022, when some people should have received their July 1 $25 TB credit, multiple people reported NOT receiving the July 1 credit and that communications with IHG and/or Chase and/or UA were unproductive and unsuccessful.

Does anyone know - if you're a holder of the current/sunsetting card, are you still eligible for the sign-up bonus for the new $89 card? Since I've already burned my free night this year and have a fair amount of IHG spend left, I'd probably just get the new card and cancel the old one.

do you get 20% discount on points purchased with points+cash?
That's not really clear in the terms to me, but I'll assume YES
...
"Save at least 20% on points purchases when you pay for those points with your IHG® Rewards Club Premier or Traveler Credit Cards. Point purchase amounts are subject to change by IHG® Rewards Club. These points are Non-Qualifying points and do not count towards Elite qualification. Upon completion of the points purchase, you agree that the total dollar amount will be immediately charged to your credit card. The cost for the points purchased is non-refundable."
does 4th night free include points+cash stays?
Per terms listed, NO.
"For each standard room Reward Night stay of 4 or more nights, every 4th night is free. Applies only to 4 or more consecutive nights within the same Reward Night point redemption room stay at the same property. With this benefit, eligible members will be charged the Reward Night point redemption rate for the first 3 nights, and 0 points for the 4th night of the stay, as applicable. If 4th Reward Night Free reservation is cancelled, or check-out occurs before the 4th night, the 4th Reward Night is forfeited and has no cash or point value. Members can utilize the 4th Reward Night Free benefit on an unlimited number of stays annually. IHG® Rewards Club Reward Night terms and conditions apply. Offer does not apply to paid stays or Points & Cash bookings. Chase is not responsible for offer fulfillment."

Looks like a total of 4, including a new business card https://www.chase.com/personal/credi...s/other-ihg-cc - poor response to Hilton's new AMEX offerings, which have for the most part been very well received.

As a data point, I went ahead and applied for the new Premier card. Existing IHG Select cardholder here, and also over 5/24, and was instantly approved.
For a better offer, start a dummy reservation on IHG.com and you'll be offered the standard 80k offer (+ the 5k for adding an authorized user), PLUS a $50 statement credit.

Yes that is the most likely outcome
as far as chase and IHG is concerned they are separate products, contracts etc
similarly, new card promo points should accrue for select holders who apply for the premier independently
And folks with AMB $200 renewal, Select, and Premier should see 30% points rebate on award nights. That one remains to be seen but it should work.

Unfortunately the 10% rebate is not part of the Premier offering, which depending on the person makes the old Select card worth holding onto.

For some reason, when I tried to following the link during the reservation process, I got a "page not found" error with both Safari and Firefox, but it worked with Chrome.
