I had a recent stay at an IHG property, and it got me thinking, would it be worth it to add a Chase IHG credit card to my portfolio even though I primarily stay at Marriotts?

In this video, I’m going to cover the IHG credit cards as well as the IHG Rewards program and discuss my thought process in determining if an IHG card would be right for me.

The IHG lineup includes three credit cards exclusively offered by Chase Bank: the Chase IHG Traveler, the Chase IHG Premier, both personal cards, and the Chase IHG Premier Business, a business card.

In terms of status, the Chase IHG Traveler card offers automatic Silver Elite status with a $20k spending path to Gold Elite status, while the Chase IHG Premier and Premier Business cards offer automatic Platinum Elite status with a $40k spending path to Diamond Elite status.

There's also Intercontinental Ambassador status, which comes with IHG One Rewards Platinum Elite status, available for $200 for a 12-month membership.

For myself, I would only aim to stay at the luxury IHG properties such as Intercontinental Hotels since my budget stays are covered by the Marriott Bonvoy program.

When looking at a secondary hotel system, specifically IHG, here are the 3 questions I'm asking myself:

1. Where are these Intercontinental Hotels, and would it be convenient for me to stay there?
2. How would I earn points to stay at IHG properties?
3. Would I want to get Intercontinental Ambassador status or just stick with a Chase IHG One Rewards credit card?

I hope my experience with this thought exercise will help you decide if the IHG program is right for you!
