Chase and IHG have revamped their portfolio of credit cards, and with that, launched a brand new premium card: the IHG One Rewards Premier Select Credit Card.

Here are all of the details of this new entry into the lineup of IHG cards to help you determine whether the card makes sense to add to your wallet.

New IHG Premier Select Card Welcome Offer

For starters, the new IHG Premier Select card is coming along with a great welcome bonus offer that allows you to earn 200,000 bonus points after spending $5,000 on purchases in the first 3 months from account opening.

We value IHG points at 0.5 cents per point, making 200,000 bonus points worth $1,000 based on that valuation.

The new IHG Premier Select card has a wide range of perks and benefits, including:

Up to $300 in annual food and beverage rewards to redeem at IHG properties
A $200 annual airline statement credit on qualifying flight purchases
Up to $50 United TravelBank Cash annually (requires one-time activation and linking of your MileagePlus and IHG accounts)
Receive an anniversary free night (redemption cap of 60,000 points with the option to top off with additional IHG points)
Automatic Platinum Elite status, providing benefits like complimentary room upgrades, welcome amenities, and early check-in and late check-out, subject to availability
20 Elite Night Credits each calendar year, immediately unlocking the first Milestone Reward upon account opening, and 2 additional ENC for every $5,000 spent on purchases with the card
Fourth night free when you redeem points for a consecutive 4-night IHG hotel stay

The card comes with a $350 annual fee, but the benefits can more than offset that fee when you add up the up-to-$300 in annual food and beverage rewards at IHG properties, $200 annual airline statement credit, $50 in United TravelBank Cash annually, and an anniversary free night certificate that can be redeemed at IHG hotels costing up to 60,000 points per night.

Plus, for those who frequently stay at IHG hotels, this new card gives you a fast-track to help you reach higher levels of elite status faster.
