At the start of April Chase announced negative changes to the free night certificate on the IHG Select card, especially all free night certificates issued after May 1st, 2018 would be restricted to properties that costed 40,000 points or less per night. They then stated that if you signed up between 1/1/18 and 4/5/18 then you’d received an unrestricted night certificate on your next card anniversary. This left some cardholders not being able to take advantage of the unrestricted free night certificate at least (those who signed up May 1st 2017 until December 31st, 2018).
Well I have some good news to share for a change, all free night certificates issued before May 1st, 2019 will be unrestricted!
@Chase @ChaseSupport @IHG @ihgrewardsclub heard rumor that all Chase free night certificates issued before May 1, 2019 will be unrestricted. Can you confirm this info?

Great to see Chase & IHG do the right thing in this case. This also shows the power of calling these corporations out and putting pressure on them to act fairly.
Thanks to adp5x7 for sharing this positive news with us
