Our Verdict
This has been as high as 120,000 points in the past. Not really worth considering the IHG Premier card always has a better bonus (e.g we recently saw five free nights of up to 60,000 points per night).
InterContinental Danang Sun Peninsula Resort costs about 50k+/night ($450 cash). So it’s about $900 worth if you travel to Vietnam 😉
When did you see it at 50K points a night. I haven’t seen that rate for at least 1-2 years now. Only 70K+
The terms say:
Product not available to anyone who has a personal IHG credit card
Well, I have a legacy IHG Select card, no longer available for new applications, which gives me 10% back on all points redemptions, and I would to give that up to get any other personal IHG credit card, so it’s a no-go for me until and unless they totally cancel the Select card.
That’s like 2-3 nights
It’s less than 1 night for almost all the hotels in Manhattan 6 days a week. They’re generous on Sundays – if you’re lucky you may score a Holiday Inn Express for ~60k
And no annual fee on this one…
2-3 nights for free ain’t bad for those that don’t like paying AF. Way better than the SUBs we see on the no AF Hilton and Marriott cards.
But, redeem 3 nights, get the 4th free 😉
