Timing is Everything: When to Apply for IHG Chase Cards

For frequent IHG guests, a cobranded credit card can provide valuable perks during stays. Knowing when to apply can be tricky, as offers change frequently. The Points Guy has analyzed the history of IHG credit card offers to help distinguish between good and not-so-good bonuses. Based on offer history, it's best to apply for the IHG One Rewards Premier Select Credit Card when the offer is for at least 200,000 points, the IHG One Rewards Premier Credit Card when the offer is for at least 170,000 points, and the IHG One Rewards Credit Card when the offer is for at least 120,000 points. These offers provide the best welcome bonuses for each card.
