Since the start of February it’s been possible to sign up for the Chase IHG card with a 80,000 point sign up bonus by calling a special number with Chase. On Monday/Tuesday of this week, that phone number stopped working. It’s still possible to get the 80,000 bonus, although there is a little more risk involved now.
What you need to do is this (before doing this, log into your IHG account and see if you’re eligible for the 80,000 + $50 bonus, it’ll show for everybody but click apply to see if you’re actually eligible:
- Apply for the 60,000 point offer (or 60,000 + $50 offer)
- Call or send Chase a secured message asking to be matched to the 80,000 point offer
- Hang up and call/message again if unsuccessful
Obviously there is no guarantee that Chase will match you to the 80,000 point offer (and as far as I know you’re never able to get matched to 80,000 + $50 bonus) but here are some recent successful data points: 1, 2, 3. If you’re interested in this offer, I’d recommend signing up sooner rather than later. I’d also recommend reading these things you should know about Chase credit cards before applying.
