Earn a 165k-point welcome offer on the IHG Premier

Tl;dr:  The fantastic IHG Premier card is offering a 165k-point sign-up bonus. 

Quick update today! The IHG Premier, one of my favorite cards, has upped its welcome offer from the usual (and very respectable) 140,000 bonus points to 165,000 points after spending $3,000 in the first three months after account opening. This is close to the best offer I’ve ever seen on the card (that was 175k points last year) and a relatively rare opportunity to squeeze an extra night or two out of the Premier’s already-generous welcome offer. If you’re in the market for a flexible keeper card to boost your travels, this might be a good time to pick up the IHG Premier.
