The limited-time offer from Chase and IHG is impressive, but the tiered spending requirement to get the bonus is higher. If you prefer IHG hotels when you travel, or you’re looking to get a hotel credit card with a wide range of hotels and resorts—IHG has more than 6,000 properties, ranging from budget to luxury brands, around the world—then it could make sense to apply for an IHG One Rewards credit card while the welcome bonus is elevated. The fourth night free benefit alone could make the cards worth it if you have an award stay coming up. 

Should you apply?

Consider both your spending and travel habits and evaluate the card’s benefits and annual fees to determine if it will give you value over time. Also make sure the card makes sense for your business.
