The card\u2019s fourth-night-free benefit and annual free night reward (up to 40,000 points) help stretch your points further, whether for longer stays or special trips. You can also combine points with cash if you\u2019re a little short, and take advantage of IHG\u2019s dynamic pricing, modifying a booking when the points rate drops lets you get points back and maximize their value.<\/p>\n<p>For fancy vacations, use rewards <a href=\"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/hotels\/ihg-one-rewards\/best-luxury-ihg-redemptions\/\">to book nights at one of these luxury properties<\/a>. Alternatively, <a href=\"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/hotels\/ihg-one-rewards\/best-budget-ihg-redemptions\/\">stretch your IHG points<\/a> for family travel at one of the thousands of Holiday Inn and Holiday Inn Express hotels around the world.<\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"Airline_partners\">Airline partners<\/span><\/h3>\n<p data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\">You won't hear many people talking about transferring IHG points to <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ihg.com\/onerewards\/content\/us\/en\/earn-rewards\/miles?scmisc=OSMAM-6C-GLO-EN-IHGRRedeem-AirlineMiles\" rel=\"noopener\">one of IHG's nearly 40 airline partners<\/a>, including American Airlines, Delta Air Lines, and United Airlines. And the reason is the modest 5:1 transfer rate for most partners. Still, if you need a few extra airline miles, have a small IHG points balance, or face points that are about to expire, it's good to know you have an option.<\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"Other_ways_to_redeem_IHG_One_Rewards\">Other ways to redeem IHG One Rewards<\/span><\/h3>\n<p data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\">You typically won't get great value out of your points through these lesser-known redemptions, but IHG offers even more ways to use your points. Use your IHG rewards to enhance a trip through experiences or to gain exclusive VIP access at participating events. Additionally, shop through IHG's catalog, donate your points, purchase magazines, and more.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Application_Restrictions_and_Strategy\">Application Restrictions and Strategy<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Since the <a data-ccid=\"4048106\" href=\"\/blog\/link\/IHGRewardsClubPremierCreditCard\" rel=\"noopener nofollow sponsored\">IHG One Rewards Premier Card<\/a> is issued by Chase, there are a few rules you need to know about. First, the card is subject to the <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"\/credit-cards\/chase-5-24-rule\/\" rel=\"noopener\">5\/24 policy<\/a>, meaning you won't be approved for the card if you've opened five or more cards in the previous 24 months, based on what's showing on your credit report.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, you'll see these terms on the application page:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>&#8220;This product is not available to either (i) current cardmembers of any IHG<sup>\u00ae<\/sup>\u00a0Rewards credit card, or (ii) previous cardmembers of any IHG<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> Rewards credit card who received a new cardmember bonus for this credit card within the last 24 months.&#8221;<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\">Therefore, if you have another IHG One Rewards credit card right now or received a welcome bonus on one in the past 24 months, you won't be eligible for this card. Additionally, if you've opened two credit cards with Chase in the past 30 days, it's unlikely that you'll be approved for another.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related: <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/credit-cards\/rewards-card-application-rules\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Understanding Rewards Credit Card Application Rules and Restrictions<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Cards_That_Compete_With_the_IHG_Premier_Card\">Cards That Compete With the IHG Premier Card<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Before settling on the <a data-ccid=\"4048106\" href=\"\/blog\/link\/IHGRewardsClubPremierCreditCard\" rel=\"noopener nofollow sponsored\">IHG One Rewards Premier Card<\/a>, you may find it helpful to compare the card against some of its top competitors:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>If you want an IHG card with no annual fee,<\/strong> consider the <a data-ccid=\"4048176\" href=\"\/blog\/link\/IHGRewardsClubTravelerCreditCard\" rel=\"noopener nofollow sponsored\">IHG One Rewards Traveler Credit Card<\/a> (<a data-ccid=\"4048176\" href=\"https:\/\/click.linksynergy.com\/fs-bin\/click?id=g3lR0xvjyAU&offerid=1753725.10005139&type=3&u1=5d6208f27bd405e05abf422687a35905&subid=639396\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Rates & Fees<\/a>).
