KEY LINK: IHG One Rewards Traveler Credit Card – Earn 80,000 bonus points after spending $2,000 on purchases within the first 3 months of account opening. $0 annual fee.
We talk a lot about credit cards and welcome offers here, because that is one of the best ways to get a lot of points quickly. It’s too hard to get any appreciable amount of points when you only earn them 1 or 2 per dollar, unless you have a LOT of spending. We just did a rundown of the 3 different IHG cards a few weeks ago

Today we’re going to look at the IHG Traveler credit card, which is IHG’s credit card option with no annual fee. The IHG Traveler card can make sense for you if you’re looking to pick up a bunch of IHG points without paying an annual fee

IHG One Rewards Traveler Welcome Bonus
Previously, the welcome bonus on the IHG Traveler card has fluctuated between 60,000 and 100,000 points. IHG has recently updated the offer to 80,000 bonus points after spending $2,000 on purchases within the first 3 months of account opening. IHG points aren’t as valuable as some other types of miles and points, but if you figure a value of around 0.7 cents per point, that still means this signup bonus is worth several hundred dollars. And that’s not even including the fact that you’ll get the fourth night free when redeeming awards and receive complimentary IHG Gold status.
IHG One Rewards Traveler Review
The IHG Traveler credit card is the no annual fee IHG credit card that is a potential option for people that don’t want to pay annual fees. My favorite place to use my IHG points so far was at the Holiday Inn Resort in Jamaica (pictured above)

Which IHG card is the best?
As I mentioned in my post the other day, there are currently 3 IHG credit cards, the IHG Traveler (that we’re talking about here), the IHG One Rewards Premier Business and the IHG One Rewards Premier. The IHG Premier and the IHG Premier Business card both offer a free night on your card anniversary. The IHG Traveler card does not currently offer a free night certificate. All 3 cards offer the 4th night free on award stays.
If you don’t have any IHG credit card right now, my recommendation would be to get the IHG Premier card. It has a great welcome bonus and the annual free night certificate is (for me) easily worth the $99 annual fee. If you already have that card, then consider the IHG Premier Business credit card. If you don’t feel comfortable applying for a business credit card and you don’t want to pay the fee of the IHG Premier credit card, then you might consider the no annual fee IHG Traveler credit card, though IMO it’s barely worth a 5/24 slot (if at all). The terms of the Premier and Traveler card both say that you can’t get the card if you have the other.
As always, don’t apply for a credit card just because some guy on the internet said you should, but if you are planning on applying and would like to support the site, we appreciate it.
