Our Verdict

This is the highest bonus we’ve seen on this card, but I’d recommend waiting a few days as normally you can get an additional $50 statement credit by doing a dummy booking. That doesn’t currently work, but it usually takes 2-3 days before that offer starts appearing. Because of that I won’t be adding this to our list of the best credit card bonuses.

Dummy booking with a $50 statement credit works now.

Doubtful $50 credit via dummy booking will happen with this offer. The fine print states current IHG Rewards card holders aren’t eligible for bonus, but I guess that doesn’t apply to $49 annual feel legacy or the no annual fee card holders from reading prior comments regarding the premiere card.

Still no dice on dummy bookings showing the 150k offer. Any idea how long updated offers take to percolate into the dummy bookings? Post mentions several days, but it’s been a couple weeks now. Starting to wonder if the dummy booking won’t be updated for this offer.

I would just apply. Additional $50 is nice to have, but shouldn’t be a determining factor. I’d be more upset if Chase drastically increased sign up bonus as it did with Sapphire Preferred, from 80k bonus to 100k.

Definitely planning to apply within the next few weeks regardless, but I’m not in a huge rush either. Thus, if there’s still a chance of the extra $50 credit, I don’t mind waiting a bit longer.

Can this car be downgraded to the Traveler card and can I have 2 IHG Traveler cards?

chase.com now shows the 150k + no annual fee offer. So that’s some progress. Previously I only saw it at ihg.com.

Just got this card less than a month ago for a bit less of an offer and no AF waived. Calling to see if I can get it matched.
