Chase IHG Premier 150K Bonus with $50 Credit and Waived Fee
Chase recently launched a best ever welcome bonus for the Chase IHG Club Premier Card. You can earn a 150K bonus and the annual fee is waived the first year. However, there’s now an even better offer that also gets you an additional $50 statement credit just for making your first purchase with the new card. Let’s see how this offer works and also check out the eligibility rules.
Update: This offer was supposed to end on December 1, 2021, but it’s still available at the link listed below.

Eligibility
This card falls under the Chase 5/24 rule. That means that you can’t be approved for new Chase cards if you have opened five or more credit cards (from any card issuer) within the past 24 months.
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.
Guru’s Wrap-up
This is a very good offer for the Chase IHG Club Premier Card, and the highest we have seen publicly. You get 150,000 points after you spend $3,000 in the first three months. After the first purchase you also get that $50 statement credit. The annual fee is waived the first year and you also get a Reward Night after each account anniversary year at eligible IHG hotels worldwide. That makes this card a keeper even when you start paying $89 every year. The free night award should easily be worth more than that.
