Overview

For a $99 annual fee, the IHG One Rewards Premier Credit Card can be an asset in the wallets of IHG loyalists. While the earning potential outside of IHG is relatively low, perks such as the fourth reward night free when redeeming IHG points and an anniversary night after each account anniversary can add a lot of value to any traveler’s wallet.

Who is this card good for?

IHG loyalists can benefit from carrying this card since it offers a variety of useful benefits. Cardholders receive complimentary IHG Platinum Elite status, a discount when buying IHG points and every fourth night costs zero points when redeeming points for stays of four nights or longer. Add in an anniversary night worth up to 40,000 points after each account anniversary, and you’re looking at potentially hundreds of dollars in value each year.
