🏆 Our Favorite Pick: Major overhaul to this popular travel card

The whole team was properly shook when this bank announced a complete revamp of its popular, premium travel card — set to launch on Monday, June 23.

With this impending glow-up, cardholders will see over $2,700 in annual value, thanks to new earning rates, bigger statement credits, and refreshed lifestyle, dining, and travel perks.

Here’s a peek at some of these new benefits:

8x points per dollar on travel booked through the bank’s portal
4x points on flights and hotels booked directly
A NEW $300 annual dining credit at eligible restaurants ($150 biannually)
Complimentary IHG One Rewards Platinum Elite Status (through December 31, 2027)
Plus MUCH more.

But to counter all of that? The annual fee is increasing to $795. 😬

💡 Pro Tip: If you apply for the current version of this card or upgrade from its younger sibling by June 23, you’ll be grandfathered into the $550 annual fee for the first year. After that, the annual fee rises to $795.

Double plus — we’re also getting a brand new business version of this card, if that’s more your style.

There is so much more to say about this refreshed version (that I can’t say here 🙃), so if you want ALL the details before this card is officially live on Monday, check out our breakdown of these new and exciting changes.
