Earning Rewards

  • 1X Earn 1 point per $1 spent on all other purchases.

Why We Like It

Even though it’s offering 140,000 bonus points, the IHG Premier could be a tough sell for one of your valuable 5/24 slots with Chase unless you’re an IHG loyalist. Between the 40,000-point limit on the anniversary reward night certificate and the fact that 140,000 points are only worth $700, folks who are hotel “free agents” can probably do better.

There isn’t a strict mathematical formula at work here. At some point we’d like to create a system that could calculate a precise value based on award availability, fees, award levels and ease of accrual, but for now these valuations are based on a combination of how much TPG would pay to buy points if given the opportunity, and the overall value I could get from redeeming them.
