IHG Rewards Club Traveler Credit Card vs. IHG Rewards Club Premier Credit Card
What are the main benefits you give up to save that $99 annual fee?
You do still get the 4th Night Free on an Award Stay benefit which is one of the best reasons to have either IHG credit card.
Note: You will only be approved for a Chase card if you have applied for fewer than 5 personal credit cards within the last 24 months from any issuer. (Business cards do not count against the total, except for Capital One and Discover, but are subject to the policy). Learn more about the 5/24 rule here.
Also: If you currently have an IHG Rewards Club Credit Card from Chase, or you earned a new cardmember bonus on that credit card within the last 24 months, you are not eligible to receive another of the same credit card. If you have one IHG card, you can get a different one inside of 24 months.
