IHG and Chase Overhaul Credit Card Lineup with New $350 Premier Select Tier

IHG and Chase have completely overhauled their cobranded credit card portfolio, introducing a new premium tier and raising annual fees for existing cards. The lineup now includes four cards with fees ranging from $0 to $350, featuring enhanced earning rates, new statement credits, and updated elite status benefits. While new applicants receive updated terms immediately, existing cardholders will see fee increases and benefit changes take effect in 2027. The refresh adds grocery store rewards and higher free-night caps but removes some legacy bonus categories and automatic elite status tiers for certain cards.
