a few months ago I would've said that the 80k ihg sign up was actually pretty good if you planned it all correctly. because you get one free night a year at any ihg which is nice and often overlooked.

I just used two of those to stay at the times square intercon when rooms were going for $400/night.

:frown:

http://onemileatatime.boardingarea.com/2018/04/02/ihg-anniversary-night-devaluation/

yeah this is a pretty big devaluation. i'm going to call soon and cancel.

Bummer. Was looking forward to staying somewhere nice for free.

If you're already sitting on a free night, or would be getting it this month, you should still be able to use that anywhere.  It's the free nights issued starting this upcoming May that are shitty.

I still have an old one and was thinking of using it at that same spot at Portland some time when I can drive the dog there and find nature-y things to do, but that hotels on the too-good list for future free nights.

Got an "annual membership fee" of $89 today for my Chase/IHG card. I knew the annual fee for the IHG card I signed up for was $49. Turns out they've created two new an different versions of the IHG cards. I never received a new card version, but they didn't hesitate giving me that new annual fee even though I got the card like 6 months ago and already paid the original.
If there was a gif of nicname thwarting the attempted-flag-taker and then gesturing him to suck it, followed by motioning for all of Hilton Shelter to boo him louder, it'd be better than that auburn gif.

The IHG perk is changing to something like "a free night redemption at a 40k or below property"

Good news is now that Kimpton is IHG, there are a lot of nice city properties for you to use the perk.  Bad news is you can only redeem it on the bottom 90% or so of IHG properties.  Still can get a good value of a $300 room for the $89

Plug in your own personal info (name for name, ssn for tin, etc.) and state your business is a sole proprietorship.

Expect a request for more info.  You might have to explain that your biz is that you do side work from home as a sole proprietor separately from your regular job.  It works out fine when you do that and give them documentation showing it's you at your residence and explaining that you need the card to use for biz-related matters to help keep your records straight.

just go nuts with dummy around-the-world bookings and see if you can get it down close to around 100k skymiles. it's fun!

I got a 60k delta gold amex offer in the mail, but I've already had that card. I read all the fine print and there is no verbiage about not getting the bonus if you've already had the card :Wha:

What kind of stuff will they ask for?  Do I need a separate bank account or anything?
