Honestly, most of these hotel programs are turning into a joke as far as 'tier' status is concerned for upgrades and points bonuses. It's a crapshoot, depending on the hotel you're staying at and what program you're with, but generally upgrades are not guaranteed. So it's not really a perk unless it's something you can count on to get all the time.
I did a little more digging and 30,000-ish points gets you about a $100 room...so this card is not even worth the annual fee (unless the fee is waived). The 60K bonus could be worth the app and the fee, depending on what hotels you stay at. All in all, not a very good program. Which is a shame, since I generally like the IHG chain and there's a lot of HI's I frequent... |
Yeah, IHG are worth max 0.7 cents and even less, if you bought them during their sales or daily getaways.
|
IHG points are very lucrative if you can take advantage of the Pointsbreak promotion (5,000 points each reward night). 60,000 points can come out to 12 hotel rooms. If you manage to book rooms, conservatively at $100 each, you can get well over $1,200 in value.

Preferably I would like to earn miles in this preference:
1. United 2. SPG 3. Aeroplan I live in Canada and I book mostly United flights. I already get pts from my cc and from the airlines. I am looking to maximize the shopping portals. Thanks. |

Okay, so this is not a miles offer, it's a cash offer.
But I think this fits the mold of what MilesBuzz! readers seek... Tangerine.ca $150 signup bonus offer http://www.tangerine.ca/en/landing-p...150/index.html Tangerine.ca (formerly ING Direct) is offering a $150 bonus if you start a chequing account, and a savings account, and do one payroll deposit. "Open your first Tangerine Savings Account with at least $250 by July 31, 2014 and we’ll give you a $50 cash Bonus. Open your first Tangerine Chequing Account with at least $250 by July 31, 2014 and we’ll give you a $50 cash Bonus. Switch your pay to go directly to your Tangerine Chequing Account by August 31, 2014 and we’ll give you a $50 cash Bonus." |

and nope, $70/10k points (IHG cash + points rate), the 60k points has a maximum value of $420 - $120 annual fee = $300 / 2 (EQ and Transunion hit) = $150 per hit and < $200 per hit requirement :D |
Not the best deal, but 400 free air miles with The Winnipeg Humane Society master card: https://www.winnipeghumanesocietydon...bmo-mastercard

When the point break program was first introduced, there were a lot of hotel options in both the US and Canada. Over the years the list of available hotels keeps getting shorter and shorter and I can rarely find a hotel in a big city.
My last PB deal was a getaway extended weekend at IC Cleveland for 5000IHG points. Spring 14 For this summer's extended family get-together I scored two suite for one week at Staybridge in Oakville. Summer 14 |
