Our Expert Verdict

8/10
Editor's Score

One of the best hotel cards for value. The annual free night (worth up to 40,000 points, often $150+) alone justifies the $99 fee. IHG Platinum Elite status, 4th-night-free on reward stays, and a massive 26x earning rate at IHG properties make this a must for IHG loyalists.

Pros

  • Free night covers the annual fee
  • 26x at IHG hotels
  • 4th night free on awards
  • Platinum Elite status

Cons

  • $99 annual fee
  • IHG points worth ~0.5¢
  • Free night capped at 40K points
Sign-Up Bonus

140,000 IHG points after spending $3,000 in 3 months
