Can you stack this? I’d think so
While the room needs to be booked via the website, Citi Prestige allows this sort of booking for their 4th night free benefit. You’d simply request the concierge to use the subsite that offers the deal, and book for 4 nights. Note that Citi Prestige’s 4th night free is a pro-rate 25% off, so if your stay is like this: $100, $100, free, $100 – you wouldn’t get the $100 discounted on your statement, but rather $300/4, or $75. Still a fantastic way of doing it.
Credit Cards to use for the stay.
- Both the Chase Sapphire Reserve and Chase Ink Business Preferred would earn you 3x points on travel
- Chase Sapphire Preferred would yield 2x points
- IHG Premier would earn you 10x IHG points when staying at their own properties
- You could also pair this buy 2 get a 3rd night with IHG Premier’s 4th night free on points benefit
- This would effectively get you a week long stay for the cost of your first two nights, and then the points needed for an entry level room for 3 nights.
- Mon, Tues, Weds ( Paid in a club room ) Switch rooms and Thurs, Fri, Sat, Sun ( use points, get 4th night free).
- You could also pair this buy 2 get a 3rd night with IHG Premier’s 4th night free on points benefit
- Citi Thank You Premier would get you 3x points on your stay as well.
Here’s the full list of Participating Hotels
One of those listed is the Intercontinental Sydney – a club level that was certainly worth the fee to us. I mean…look at this view. I’ve also enjoyed stays at the Intercontinental Westlake Hanoi ( feature image of our 2 bedroom villa ), Intercontinental Singapore, and Intercontinental Johannesburg Sandton Towers.

We keep an up to date spreadsheet that lists the best ever offers: You can find that spreadsheet here.
Historically 80k is a very, very good offer and hit in both 2022 and 2023. In 2021, we saw the offer hit an all time high of 100k. Who knows if that will ever come back.
Main Cast:
Cards that earn flexible points and should be used on the bulk of your purchases.
Supporting Cast:
Cards that earn fixed points in the currency of the airline/hotel and can not be transferred at attractive rates. These cards yield benefits that make it worth keeping, but not necessarily worth putting a lot of your everyday spend on.
The Chase Sapphire Preferred® is exceptional starter card and offers transferrable Ultimate Rewards, and pairs well with other Chase cards.
If you carry this card alongside Chase’s cashback cards like the Chase Freedom Flex® and Chase Freedom Unlimited® or the business versions: Ink Business Cash® , Ink Business Unlimited® you can combine the points into Preferred account and transfer into hotel and airline partners
Annual fee is quite low at $95 a year + you get a 10% anniversary bonus on points + $50 hotel credit in Chase travel.
