Wondering where to find the application link for the Chase credit card that gives 80,000 IHG points? Read on!
Intercontinental Hotels Group (IHG) is an uncommon name, with a lot of brands you’ve probably heard of, like Holiday Inn, Holiday Inn Express, Candlewood Suites, Staybridge Suites, Intercontinental and Crowne Plaza.
Right now, IHG is running a promotion this quarter called “Into the Nights” where everyone that signs up is given a particular offer to earn either 2 free nights or 50,000 points.
The reason that I decided against pursuing this promotion is that I already have a ton of IHG points. My wife and I both have the Chase IHG Visa card – I got mine back in July, and she got hers as part of last month’s churn.
There is a published offer for 60,000 points but that’s what we call in the bizness the “sucker’s offer”. I won’t link to it because I don’t want anyone to actually click it, since it’s inferior in every way to the “secret” 80,000 offer
How to get the 80,000 IHG point offer
While there isn’t a landing page that spells out the offer, here is a link to the application. Nothing on that page confirms the 80,000 points, but many people in this Flyertalk thread, as well as both my wife and I can confirm that we’ve received 80,000 points after meeting the $1,000 spending target in the first 3 months.
Is this card a keeper?
This is one of the few cards I plan on keeping. The $49 annual fee is waived the first year, but each year on your anniversary you get 1 free night at ANY IHG property worldwide
Bora Bora for $49? Sign me up! This was another reason I decided to pass on the Into the Nights promotion – since we will already have 2 free night certificates, I didn’t see the need to spend another $600 or so for 4 more – we just don’t travel that much. Even though we’ve had some success bartering airline miles for babysitting, we just “used” my parents for a weekend trip to Las Vegas, so it will be awhile before the 2 of us can get away again. And clearly we’re not taking the KIDS to one of these 5-star hotels! Even if we weren’t worried they’d fall in the ocean, all they care about are swimming pools and waffle makers – we’ll save them for the budget hotels of the world!

Is the 80,000 ihg card still available ?
As far as I know.
Did you try? did you get the 80k points?
Yes, my wife and I both got the 80k points. See also Why you should get 2 IHG cards at the same time
Do you know if one can currently get the 80,000 bonus points? Your link no longer works. If not, do you have any idea how often and when the 80,000 bonus points offer is made available?
Thanks!
Sorry – I’m not aware of a current 80K offer (I’d check Flyertalk to be sure). The only offer I have currently is for 60,000 IHG points (plus the bonus night)
