Our Verdict
There is also a 140,000 point bonus, that offer doesn’t have the annual fee waived. This is 65,000 point less but you basically get/save $239. If you value IHG points are more than 0.367¢ per point then the other deal is a better option. This offer also has a slightly lower minimum spend requirement of $2,000 vs $3,000. I think most people will prefer the points offer, although given the current circumstances a mixture of points + cash might be more attractive. As always read these things everybody should know about Chase credit cards before applying.
