 Up until recently, the IHG card was a "must have" card. The annual fee was only $49, and the free night could be used at any of their hotels, including a set of luxury InterContinental hotels around the world.
-Now, the certificate can only be used for hotels that cost 40,000 points or less per night (category 1-7 out of 11), substantially limiting the certificate's value. At the same time, the annual fee has risen to $89/year. On the other hand, the certificate can be used pretty much whenever any room is available, even if there is no regular award availability.

 Nevertheless, you should still be able to get good value from this card—just not enough to make it a huge priority. There should be good opportunities to use the certificate for nights that are worth $150 to $250 per night. 40,000 IHG points are usually valued at about {{Value|IHG|40000}}, but the certificate is worth less, because it expires after one year.

The older articles focused on more expensive hotel options that would no longer qualify. However, there are a couple useful lists.
