Update: 100k offer no longer available. This offer is still terrible though.

- This product is not available to either (i) current cardmembers of this credit card, or (ii) previous cardmembers of this credit card who received a new cardmember bonus for this credit card within the last 24 months. This means if you have the old IHG card, you’re still eligible to get this bonus/card.
Our Verdict
It’s still possible to get 100,000 points + $50 statement credit. This new offer is basically trading 50,000 points for $100. If you think that’s a good deal, then I don’t know why you’d be interested in this card in the first place. This new offer is an easy pass.
