Our Verdict
Earlier this year we saw a similar offer on the Premier at 170,000 with $4,000 spend. The no-fee Traveler card we’ve seen 100k and 120k offers with the same $2,000 spend requirement; the current offer of two nights + 40,000 is unique if you can max out value on the free night certificates. There’s also an increased offer on the IHG Business card as well.
Regarding the IHG Premier offer, a lot of people won’t value it as much as the 5-free-night signup offer we saw a few months ago. The no-fee Traveler card is more interesting, but again, many will prefer to simply signup for the Premier card instead.
