IHG has rolled out the IHG One Rewards Premier Select credit card, entering the market with a $350 annual fee and a 200,000‑point welcome bonus. Marketed as the premium tier of the IHG One Rewards suite, the card joins existing IHG offerings and is positioned to target frequent hotel guests seeking higher‑value rewards. The announcement places the new product alongside IHG’s broader credit‑card family, signaling a distinct step up in cost and incentive.

The card launch follows IHG’s announced revamp of its entire credit‑card lineup, which introduces higher annual fees and expanded benefits across the portfolio, according to The Points Guy and a Chase Media Center release. By partnering with Chase, IHG seeks to refresh the rewards architecture and differentiate the Premier Select card from its lower‑tier counterparts. NerdWallet assigns the card a rare five‑star rating, while other coverage provides limited insight beyond the welcome bonus and fee.

Future disclosures from IHG or Chase will be needed to clarify these aspects.
