IHG Rewards Premier Card - Watch Me Apply, Unboxing, and Review

[@malukojoexvi9957]

are these point Chase Ultimate Reward points or IHG points only for hotel chains?

[@johnmckinstry6057]

Congrats on the card approval. I have had the IHG Rewards Premier card for almost a year now and it’s definitely a great card. It is definitely a keeper card with the free night certificate that you get after the anniversary of having the card. One of my favorite brands in the IHG portfolio is the Staybridge Suites brand. I stayed at one for two weeks while I was away on business and I was very satisfied with my stay. I would like to stay at Crowne Plaza, InterContinental, and Kimpton properties in the future.

[@thebrandonboydshow]

Love the free night certificate. We have primarily used Hyatt and Hilton over the years, but I’m ready to stretch my legs a little and really give another brand a try.

[@jabberwolf7348]

I like IHG because it gives me a variety of cheap and expensive places. Also in Asia , the miles seem to go a long way ( and interesting that there are some better results when mixing with points+ money). You can add points to your free anniversary day, so you're not pigeon holed into places ( I wish Hyatt would do that).

[@thebrandonboydshow]

Love this. Thanks for sharing. You’re right on. Lots of variety in the IHG brand.

[@jimmyjames6492]

Congrats on the new CC! Can't wait to see what you think of the IHG program. Thanks for the info + video!

[@thebrandonboydshow]

We’ve had our eye on it for a while. Glad to finally snag it.

[@Ricocase]

Ugly card, make it pretty.

[@thebrandonboydshow]

It looks clean overall. Nothing outlandish of course. Just clean.

[@Ricocase]

@@thebrandonboydshow why IHG vs. Hyatt? Recall, hyatt just incentivized their card with BILT for the next 3 m. Globalist status with 70k possible. Rocket mortgage also released their BILT card. Would you replace a no AF sapphire for an AF sapphire, reserve, or biz ink product change?

[@MannyCovington]

Didn’t guess this one but congrats!

[@thebrandonboydshow]

We are excited!

[@Rob-ew4bl]

Chase went cheap on us. The card use to be metal. It’s a crappy plastic now

[@thebrandonboydshow]

That’s correct. 100% crappy plastic.

[@Rob-ew4bl]

@@thebrandonboydshow and all while raising the annual fee 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@JacobsPointsAndProfit]

I just applied for this card. Had to jump on the 175,000 point sign up bonus. I’m new to IHG but I travel a lot so I’m excited to start looking at their hotels

[@thebrandonboydshow]

That’s awesome. Congrats on picking up the card. It’s a winner in my book. Great bonus!!!!

[@OKZK_Bros]

I just got the CSP and I am working towards my 80k bonus. Will I be able to get the IHG bonus too? I heard you say that I can’t get a bonus In 24 months. Is that on this card? Or all chase cards ?

[@PhilMo78]

Nice pickup, still in 5/24 prison here, but did grab the Wyndham business card this week. Thanks for the vid sir! Iceland def on my bucket list!!!!

[@thebrandonboydshow]

5/24 jail isn’t fun. Stay the course. You’ll get out eventually!

[@raulbustamante3871]

You can still apply even if you’re 5/24. This is a co-branded credit card. There’s some exceptions from chase. Just try!

[@PhilMo78]

@@raulbustamante3871 tried with the inks. Instant denial, 2 recon calls also. I will just wait, no rush here, plenty of awesome business cards available.

[@paulfelkner6749]

I have 2 Marriotts, one Hilton and I just got the IHG card, but that Wyndham Business cards looks extremely tempting.

[@DJV2000]

@@raulbustamante3871 what are the exceptions

[@jordan23ww]

Great review! Also congratulations on the approval! Talk about coincidences, I just checked into an IHG hotel yesterday for the first time in over 20 years. Really enjoying my stay so far. Hadn’t ever considered getting their card but now after seeing your video I will consider it! This morning I hopped on KZbin and saw this video on my recommended videos timeline! 😂

[@thebrandonboydshow]

KZbin knows who you are and what you’re doing more than you. I’m convinced. Funny coincidence.

[@MattClausen]

Great stuff. That Welcome offer is enticing, but decided to job on the Hyatt/Bilt offer…because I’m crazy

[@thebrandonboydshow]

Nothing wrong with that. This offer ends April 5th so you still have time!

[@MattClausen]

@@thebrandonboydshow sadly I don’t fall below 5/24 until August/Sept, but I did just use my 5th slot on a Chase card though for entry into Travel

Mattress run time 😈🛏️🏨 #IYKYK

[@frederickjonesel1942]

Wow, a Credit Limit of more than $15,000.00 starting out....That's a whole lot. I have the Chase IHG Rewards Traveler World Mastercard Credit Card....Which is the lower tier no annual fee card & they started me out with a limit of only $3500.00

[@rmknicks]

I got this when Chase first announced the new SUB. Can't wait to stay at an IHG property - I love Kimpton hotels. I've been to Iceland, you'll have a great time.

[@jamesyu613]

Congratulations I have that card too, I can’t wait to get free hotel stays

[@thebrandonboydshow]

Couldn’t agree more. Excited to have it.

[@jamesyu613]

Chase said im 8/24 (im really 14/24) And they denied me for to many accounts opened

I can confirm. Yes.

​@The Brandon Boyd Show - Credit Cards-Travel-Money have a good day, thanks for the guidance and content. Have a great day!!!

[@theoriginalrubio4125]

Can I redeem the points for cash? If yes, what is the equivalent?

[@maritestaylor8458]

Fabulous 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@thebrandonboydshow]

You’re fabulous👍

[@Faisal-ld7ni]

Sir can i get this card i am not American?

[@ny212kp]

Brandon, I just used your referral link to apply for this IHG rewards premier credit card and just got approved, hope it helps you out!

[@jrrodz77]

I just checked and Chase lowered the offer to 140,000 points for the signup bonus. 😞 - Another question since I'm a Chase CC holder can I transfer points from this card to my Saphire for example?

[@ivanali1732]

Someone answer this please

[@pytube777]

Not transferable but you can convert the points to miles of their partner airlines.

[@911eVoX]

Brandon, don't bullshit people. This is not the best sign up offer. I signed up for the 140k offer and a free night cert. I went ahead to redeem it for a stay at the Los Angeles Intercontinental where I was able to secure an executive suite. $400+/night. This was barnone the best sign up offer thus far. The additional 35k points equates to about $170 in valuation.

[@thebrandonboydshow]

That’s a fair argument. Maybe a clarification to say “highest points offer ever.” Either way, both deals are great if the IHG card has been on your wish list. Excited to snag this one.
