Hey Reader,

How's your week so far?

I'm super excited about today's newsletter because one of the most epic credit card sign up offers is BACK!

This email contains referral links. I may earn points back if you choose to sign up for a card using these links. I only recommend cards that I personally use and love. Using my links supports me in putting out more content like this at absolutely no cost to you! Thanks 🫶🏻

The IHG One Rewards Premier Credit Card has 2 amazing offers right now:

• ​Higher Minimum Spend Offer - 5 Free Nights, valued at up to 300,000 points (each night valued at up to 60,000 points), after spending $5,000 in the first 3 months from account opening.
• ​Lower Minimum Spend Offer - 4 Free Nights (each Free Night valued at up to 40,000 points), after spending $3,000 in the first 3 months from account opening.

The first offer is a MUCH higher value card, but you need to spend $5,000 in 3 months. Honestly in today's economy... this is super doable, especially if you have any significant expenses coming up, or if you live with more than one person.

Heck, you can even offer to put some expenses for friends and family on your card and have them pay you back!

The second offer can still get you some great stays with 4 free nights at thousands of lower tier properties. Plus, if you're traveling internationally, you'll get even greater value. It's well known that Holiday Inns, for example, are much nicer abroad compared to the U.S.

What's the best way to use this sign up bonus?

I wrote an entire blog post on redeeming the 5 free night sign up bonus, and let me tell you... this trip was amazing.

The best way to hack the free night offer is by using it with IHG's partner Iberostar Resorts, which are all-inclusive properties in the Caribbean, Europe, and Africa. Free nights, plus free food, plus free drinks? SCORE.

I'm eyeing a redemption for 2026 at an Iberostar in Spain or Morocco 👀

Reply to this email to let me know if you're considering this offer and need more guidance!

Happy free nights earning!

Michelle
