Hotel Credit Card Offers

We’ve mentioned the sometimes overlooked value some hotel credit cards provide people who cruise.

IHG Credit Cards Welcome Offers

New members of the card_name can bonus_miles_full by taking advantage of this promotion. The card carries a annual_fees annual fee and is packed with a bunch of benefits, such as:

• Annual Reward Night (beginning year two of card membership), redeemable for nights priced at 40,000 points or less.
  • Want to stay somewhere that’s charging more than 40,000 points for a night? You can pay the difference with IHG points.
• Complimentary IHG Rewards One Platinum Elite status
• Fourth Night Free: use IHG points to book three consecutive nights at one property — and there’s no room or tax charge for the fourth night of the stay.
• Earn up to 26X charged to the card during stays at IHG® Hotels & Resorts
• 5X on travel purchases
• 5X at gas stations
