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.

Am I imagining things, or is Chase burying the Traveler card? The only app links I can find are via blogger referrals; if you visit https://creditcards.chase.com or https://www.ihg.com/rewardsclub/cont...n/earn-rewards, the Traveler card doesnt exist.

I am now holding the old version Chase IHG cc.
If I apply for the new version cc using the same IHG account #, will I get combined benefits from both ccs, such as two free nights?

Re: IHG card expedited delivery post-approval
I called the number on the back of my Sapphire card. The Sapphire rep was able to expedite delivery of the IHG card to 2 days

FINALLY just applied and was approved for my IHG Premier Card (Offer: 80K Points after $2k Spend) with a $24K CR. I was at 4/24 with Chase so figured I should double down and combine the credit inquiry, so I got the Freedom Unlimited as well.
As a IHG Spire AMB and an existing IHG Select card holder, this new card should stretch my points and options a bit further.
So with both IHG cards combined here are the reward details listing:

So with both IHG cards combined here are the reward details listing:
- $138 Total Annual Fee
- Automatic Platinum Status
- 10 X Points per $1 Spend @ IHG
- 2 X Anniversary Free Nights (now capped at 40K points)
- 10% Reward Points Rebate (Select Card)
- 4th Reward Night Free (Premier Card)
- FREE Global Entry/TSA Pre Fee (Premier Card)
- 20% Off Reward Points Purchases (Premier Card)
I met the $2k spend during my 2nd account statement month and the bonus points just posted to my IHG account 2-days after my April 3rd closing date.
Time to build up the balance for the next vacation!

I just did the same thing but the rep told me that they couldn't expedite it because it involves a third party. It has to go through IHG...

I tend to personally stay in IHG and get to pay myself so can get the 10x. A night @ $49 fee sems a good deal.

The last few weeks Chase has been emailing me to UPGRADE to the new Premier card keep the same card number no bonus points. I have the old one which i like. But i have this strange feeling that they are going to pull the old card and have everyone go to the new premier card by the end of the year. Just a hunch..

Reading from the beginning of the thread, I saw that a dummy IHG booking would get you an extra $50 statement credit when applying for the Premier card. I tried one but I think I'm the only dummy here. Does that "trick" still work?
EDIT: I tried again, and during my "booking" saw the ad at the bottom of the page. Clicked it and sure enough, $50 statement credit after my first purchase in addition to the 80000+40000 point offer. Yay!
