Chase and IHG One Rewards<\/a><\/span> just expanded their cobranded card offerings with a new premium IHG credit card<\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n

This card, the new IHG One Rewards Premier Select Credit Card<\/a><\/span> (see rates and fees<\/a><\/span>), is a premium card designed for frequent IHG guests.<\/p>\n

It’s now open to new applicants, so here’s what you should know.<\/p>\n

Welcome offer<\/h2>\n

New IHG One Rewards Premier Select<\/a><\/span> members can earn 200,000 bonus points after spending $5,000 on purchases in the first three months from account opening. This limited-time offer is available through Nov. 18.<\/p>\n

TPG’s October 2026 valuations<\/a><\/span> put IHG points at 0.6 cents each, meaning 200,000 points are worth $1,200.<\/p>\n

Plus, new cardmembers can earn another 10,000 bonus points after adding an authorized user to their account within the first three months from account opening.<\/p>\n

The offer terms state that the card isn’t available to current or previous cardmembers of this credit card who received a new cardmember bonus within the last 24 months.<\/p>\n

Since the Premier Select is brand-new, holding another IHG One Rewards card shouldn’t make you ineligible for this offer. Of course, keep in mind Chase’s 5\/24 rule<\/a><\/span> and other application restrictions<\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n

Annual fee<\/h2>\n

The annual fee on the new IHG One Rewards Premier Select<\/a><\/span> is $350.<\/p>\n

In terms of how this annual fee compares to other popular hotel credit cards<\/a><\/span>, it’s most similar to that of the Wyndham Rewards Earner\u00ae Premier Card<\/a><\/span>, which charges $395.<\/p>\n

But, the IHG Premier Select’s $350 annual fee is also lower than that of several other premium hotel credit cards, such as the Marriott Bonvoy Brilliant\u00ae American Express\u00ae Card<\/a><\/span> ($650 annual fee; see rates and fees<\/a><\/span>) and the Hilton Honors American Express Aspire Card<\/a><\/span> ($550 annual fee; see rates and fees<\/a><\/span>).<\/p>\n

And for many frequent IHG guests, the ongoing perks on the new IHG Premier Select can provide more value than the card’s annual fee.<\/p>\n

IHG perks<\/h2>\n

The primary reason to get the IHG Premier Select card is the perks it offers for IHG stays. Here’s a look at these perks:<\/p>\n

Cardmembers will receive 20 elite night credits within six to eight weeks of opening their card and 20 elite night credits by Feb. 1 each calendar year thereafter. These 20 elite nights are enough to unlock the first IHG Milestone Reward, which lets you choose 5,000 bonus points, two $20 food-and-beverage rewards or one confirmable suite upgrade.<\/p>\n

The annual food and beverage rewards and the anniversary free night certificate can offer enough value on their own to justify the IHG Premier Select’s $350 annual fee. But you’ll only get the full $300 in annual value if you can fully use the $75 in food and beverage rewards available each quarter. Each $75 voucher expires at the end of the quarter in which it’s issued and can only be used during one stay (any unused value is forfeited).<\/p>\n

Earning rates<\/h2>\n

The IHG One Rewards Premier Select<\/a><\/span>‘s earning rates are solid, though its IHG-specific benefits are likely to be a bigger reason to get it. Here’s a look at its earning rates:<\/p>\n
