Annual benefit: One free 40k point per night stay that you can combine with points if the night is more expensive. For example, if a night cost 50k points you can use your certificate for 40k and then 10k points from your balance.

Other benefits:

• Redeem 3 nights get the 4^th free
• $50 United Travel bank credit each 6 months (must register card here),
• Platinum elite status which isn’t worth much although you get a small number of points or a gift each time you stay
• $100 statement credit or $100 after spending $20k in a calendar year.
• A Global Entry or TSA precheck fee credit.

IHG has a wide range of properties from fairly luxurious Intercontinental Hotels to some Holiday Inns that haven’t been updated since Reagen was president. 175k points will get you 3-4 nights in a decent $200-400 hotel. Usually you can get half a cent to .7 cents per IHG point. What makes this card worth keeping around is the 40k annual certificate. Its more versatile than other free night awards because it can be combined with points to get higher end hotels. Even at half a cent a point you get at least 2x the value per year by holding the card.

The business version of this card doesn’t count towards Chase’s 5/24 status.

Scholastic and WIX.com both currently have tender offers that are above their tender price. If the markets sell off and the price of either stock dips below the bottom of the tender, these may become fairly lucrative opportunities. See my guide to odd lot tenders to learn how to profit from these situations.
