[Expired] How To Get The Chase IHG 80,000 Point Offer

Update: The phone offer no longer works, but you can still secured message to get matched to this bonus. More information here.

The current best public sign up bonus on the Chase IHG card is $50 statement credit after first purchase and 60,000 points after $1,000 in spending within three months. In this post we will show you how to get 80,000 points after $1,000 in spending within three months. In the past it’s been possible for some to get 80,000 points + $50 by doing a dummy booking on the IHG site, so give that a try first (or log into your account and try this link).

Call & Request Offer

This was originally posted on /r/churning by 2131andBeyond. But I found an even easier method via Flyertalk user prech. Here’s what you do:

• Call 8772740851
• Press 1 to apply
• It’ll repeat the offer details

Warning: I assume this is a real Chase number, but I have no way of confirming.

Apply For Lower Offer + Ask To Be Matched

This has been working for awhile now, you basically just apply for the best public sign up bonus and then call/secure message Chase asking them to match you to the higher 80,000 points. Some people have been able to keep the $50 statement credit and others have had that portion of the offer removed.

Our Verdict

80,000 points is about as good as it gets for public bonuses, some of you may want to hold out for 80,000 + $50 offers but if you have a plan for IHG points I’d just grab this offer now. I think the phone option is a much safer bet, but asking for a match might be worth the risk if you can get the extra $50. Again, personally I’d just go for the phone offer.
