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.

I currently have both the old IHG select card and the new IHG premier card.
I need some more IHG points and was wondering if it would be OK to apply for a third IHG card, which would be the new IHG travel card, for the 60K sign up bonus.
Is there any restriction that allows me to have only one of the two new IHG cards, or would it be possible to get both of the new IHG cards with their sign up bonus, which would result in me having all three IHG cards?

One small clarification is that your application has to be within the last 90 days. My bonus had posted in the last 90 days, but the application was just over 90 days, so I was denied. In the past, I have had a couple offers matched and it was painless. Send a SM explaining you opened your account in the last 90 days, the offer you got, and the offer you see available now, and ask if they would kindly match it for you. They have always responded within a day. On this one, I believe the initial offer required 2K spend and the new offer is 3K spend, just in case that is an issue.
I received the card is in the mail email yesterday, but of course haven't gotten it yet. Any idea what part of the process the system recognizes that my fourth night is free? I did a dummy booking and it's showing full point redemption level still.

Am I right that a hard pull is shown on a credit report under "Inquiries shared with others" and "Inquiries shared only with you" would list the soft pulls?
Are address errors (missing address or single family rather than multi-family) from over ten years ago anything to worry about?

Did I screw up? I applied for the 80,000 offer and had not yet been approved. Two days later I saw the 100,000 offer so I called to try to switch. When that was not possible, I withdrew my first application and submitted for the 100,000 offer. That was about 2-3 days ago and I have heard nothing. Usually I get instant approval. I have had the older IHG card for several years, certainly more than 24 months, a total 4 personal and 3 business Chase cards, and I'm putting over $100,000 spend on Chase cards a year.

I have no advice about the failure to get instant approval, but if you do get approved, others have suggested sending a Secure Message rather than calling.

Tizzette, I would guess that whatever caused your initial (80,000 point offer) application to be in work after two days is the same thing that is causing your new (100,000 point offer) application to be in work after 3-4 days. That probably doesn't help, except as an opinion that you didn't screw up by canceling the first application and submitting the second.
If you don't need the card in the near future, I would suggest letting Chase take its time getting back to you. If you do need the card in the near future, call or SM and ask if there is a problem.

To put things into perspective, I recently received an offer to upgrade my ordinary old card to the new Premier card.
5000 bonus points after the first purchase by 9/30/18.
No 1st year fee waver from what I can see.

Like others, I just messaged Chase for the extra 20k points (I had applied under 80k points) and they said OK if I meet the new minimum spend (Was 2k, now 3k). A few days later when I hit the 3k my extra 20k points posted with the next statement.
Given how little these points are worth (half a penny) it is hard to justify using the card to get 1 point per dollar long term when I have 2% cash back or other more valuable points/miles currency on my other cards. Guess will be looking for IHG promos that make them come in bunches.
