IHG offers two personal cobranded Chase cards to help customers rack up points and maximize their stays. One of these cards is the no-annual-fee IHG One Rewards Traveler Credit Card<\/a>. The IHG One Traveler Card certainly has more to offer to IHG loyalists than most no-annual-fee hotel cards, but it may not be your best choice.<\/p>\n

In particular, if you’re going to use one of your Chase 5\/24 slots<\/a> on an IHG One Rewards<\/a> credit card, the IHG One Rewards Premier Credit Card<\/a> is a better option for most people. However, if you already have the IHG Premier Card and want to earn another sign-up bonus, or you refuse to pay any annual fees<\/a>, you might want to snag the IHG Traveler Card.<\/p>\n

So, let’s take a closer look at the IHG One Traveler Card so you can decide whether it is right for you.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Who is this card for?<\/h2>\n

The IHG One Rewards Traveler Credit Card is for travelers who want a way to earn IHG points<\/a> on their purchases without incurring an annual fee<\/a>. Specifically, this card is best if you stay with IHG frequently<\/a> and will use the card’s fourth reward night benefit<\/a>.<\/p>\n

But, if you want automatic elite status with IHG<\/a>, you may be better off with the IHG One Rewards Premier Credit Card. The IHG Premier Card comes with Platinum Elite status and a slew of other perks. Plus, the IHG Premier Card’s anniversary night<\/a> can easily justify the card’s $99 annual fee.<\/p>\n

Like most Chase credit cards<\/a>, the IHG Traveler Card is restricted by Chase’s 5\/24 rule<\/a>. So, Chase will reject your application if you’ve opened five or more new cards across all issuers in the last two years. Plus, if you get this card, it will take up one of your 5\/24 slots<\/a>. So, if you have other Chase cards<\/a> you want to add to your wallet, you may not want to apply for the IHG Traveler Card now.<\/p>\n
