In short

IHG One Rewards added a Premier Select card at $350 on 1 October 2026. All four IHG card welcome offers are reported to end 18 November 2026, and the business card's fee rose from $99 to $200.

18 November 2026

IHG One Rewards now has four Chase cards rather than three. The Premier Select launched on 1 October 2026 at a $350 annual fee, sitting above the long-standing Premier. It is a separate product and should not be confused with the Premier, which continues at $150.

Current offers across the family, all reported to end on 18 November 2026:

  • Premier Select, $350: 200,000 points after $5,000 in three months
  • Premier, $150: 180,000 points after $3,000 in three months
  • IHG One Rewards Credit Card, no fee: 125,000 points after $2,000 in three months
  • IHG One Rewards Business, $200: 190,000 points after $5,000 in three months

The business card's annual fee went from $99 to $200 on 1 October, which is worth knowing if you have been holding it on the strength of the old price.

Worth noting on the no-fee card

The no-fee IHG card now appears simply as the IHG One Rewards Credit Card. We could not find a Chase page confirming a rename, but there is no card called Traveler in the current line-up, and the no-fee product sits where the Traveler used to. If you have been searching for the Traveler name, that is probably why you cannot find it.

The benefit that actually compounds

IHG's Premier card has historically included a free fourth night on award stays. On a four-night redemption that is a 25% discount, every year, and it quietly beats the headline bonus over time. Confirm the current terms on Chase's product page before you count on it.

There is also an 80% Chase to IHG transfer bonus running to 3 December, though IHG points are worth less per point than most airline currencies, so it suits topping up for a specific booking.
