For a limited time, Chase is offering elevated welcome bonuses on the IHG One Rewards Premier and Traveler credit cards—up to 185,000 points combined—but these deals expire at 9:00 AM ET on June 24, 2026. By our valuation, that’s up to $1,110 in hotel stays, making this one of the most lucrative IHG offers in recent years.
Our Take
Good news for IHG fans and value seekers. This is a rare chance to stack two strong IHG welcome bonuses for over $1,100 in value, based on our 0.6¢ per point estimate. If you have IHG stays coming up or want to pad your points for future travel, act now—these offers are among the best we've tracked for these cards.
What Changed
- IHG One Rewards Premier: 150,000 points after $3,000 in 3 months (usual: 140,000 or lower)
- IHG One Rewards Traveler: 90,000 points after $2,000 in 3 months (usual: 80,000 or lower)
- Combined: Up to 185,000 points if you apply for both
- Offers end June 24, 2026 at 9:00 AM ET
Who Benefits Most
- Frequent IHG travelers: 185,000 points can cover up to 10 nights at 18,500-point properties (worth ~$1,110 at our 0.6¢/pt value).
- Road trippers and families: Book multiple Holiday Inn Express or Candlewood Suites stays for summer travel, saving hundreds in out-of-pocket costs.
- IHG loyalists with big upcoming expenses: Meet the spend on both cards for a major points boost—enough for InterContinental or Kimpton luxury nights.
- Deal chasers: If you’ve been waiting for a top-tier IHG bonus, this is as good as it gets—our tracker rates these as excellent offers.
Who Should Be Cautious
- Travelers loyal to other hotel brands: If you prefer Hyatt, Marriott, or Hilton, these points may not fit your travel style.
- Those with limited upcoming hotel stays: If you won’t use IHG points in the next 12-18 months, consider if tying up spend is worth it.
- Applicants over Chase 5/24: If you’ve opened 5+ cards in 24 months, you likely won’t be approved for these offers.
What To Do Right Now
- Review your Chase 5/24 status—only apply if you’re under the limit.
- Apply for the IHG One Rewards Premier and/or Traveler cards before June 24, 2026 at 9:00 AM ET.
- Plan your $3,000 (Premier) and $2,000 (Traveler) spending to meet the requirements in 3 months.
- Check IHG award charts for properties where your points will stretch furthest.
- Set a calendar reminder to use your points within 1-2 years for maximum value.
