Fee Benefits

No Overlimit Fee
No Over-the-Limit Fee. You won’t pay an over-the-limit fee if your credit card balance goes over your credit limit.

Let’s say your credit card limit is $5,000. One month, you spend more than your limit on the card. Some credit card companies will charge you between $25 and $35 for this mistake. If your card advertises no overlimit fee, you won’t be charged a penalty for your spending.

Sign Up Benefits

Statement Credit
IHG® Rewards Club Premier Credit Card allows you to pay off part or your entire bill with a Statement Credit offered as a sign-on bonus.
For example, you have a credit card which offered a $200 statement credit. In order to get it, you have to make purchases totaling $1000 or more within the first 90 days of opening the card. You spend $1100. When you get your credit card statement for the month following the introductory period, your bill will be reduced by $200. So if your credit card bill is $500, you will only have to pay $300.
