Quick Thoughts
I initially thought this might only be targeted at Chase IHG credit cards as it was seemingly only on our IHG Premier cards, but then I noticed it was on my wife’s Chase Sapphire Reserve card as well.
If you’ll be staying at a Crowne Plaza, you’d do better paying with an American Express card with the new Crowne Plaza Amex Offer loaded to it provided you’re targeted for that offer.
What’s great about this offer though is that it’s valid at all of IHG’s brands provided you spend at least $100. There’s no specification that it’s only valid in the US, so it’s presumably good on IHG stays worldwide.
With a limit of $43 back as a statement credit for the 10% offer, you’ll max this out when spending $430. The 15% offer has a limit of $66 back which means that’s good on up to $440 of spend.
If you’ll be staying at an IHG brand more than once before this offer expires and your first stay isn’t the most expensive, you’d be better off paying for that first stay with a different card as this Chase Offer is only good on one transaction. Having said that, you can load this offer to multiple cards if you’re targeted, unlike with Amex Offers where you can only load a statement credit Amex Offer to one of your cards.

Can you buy a gift card at HI Express to push your bill over $100?
If they sell them then that should work. I’m not aware of any IHG brands other than Kimpton selling gift cards though.
Premier: “Earn 15% back on your IHG® Hotels & Resorts stay when you spend $100 or more, with a $66.00 back maximum.” “Earn 15% back on your IHG® Hotels & Resorts stay when you spend $100 or more, with a $54.00 back maximum” on the legacy card.
If anyone wants another DP, I got 10% back up to $43 on both the old and new IHG Mastercards, and 15% back up to $60 on my CSR.
A little update: my stay works out to $99.56 after tax. How can I painlessly push this to $100? Can’t cancel it — too late. Thanks for any suggestions!
Give the hotel a call to find out if they won’t charge your card until the end of your stay. If so, charge something to your room during your stay – even if it’s just a candy bar – and that should push you over.
That was my thought too. I also thought about tipping the clerk 44 cents… but maybe not.
I have both a 10000 offer and a 5000 offer in my email to use my IHG Premier card for one night, plus now 10% off on the same card. We’ll see if both of those points-back offers stack — have a stay coming up on the 11th.
My offer was 5% back up to $21.00 ($420) on both my old Freedom card and old IHG Rewards Club card.
I got 10% on my old legacy card and 5% on the newer one. More data points for you.
Thanks all – I’ve updated the post with information about the 5% and 15% offers.
I got 5% back on my legacy IHG MasterCard.
My old IHG had 15% back with max of $66
The IHG premier had the 10% max $44
My IHG card offered 5% and my Sapphire Reserve offered 10%.
I also got a 10% back up to $44 ($440 spend) on the legacy IHG Select Card
I wonder if this will work on the payment part of a points and cash booking that is later cancelled.
My thought as well…..
I got 10% on my old legacy IHG card and 15% on the newer IHG card, both with a maximum of $440 of spend.
