Chase
On $1,000 a month of spending, split evenly across restaurants, travel, groceries and everything else: yes.
27,000 points a year at 0.69¢ = $186 = $186 a year.
That is a worked example, not a figure about you — we have no idea what you spend. Put your own numbers in and the same arithmetic runs on those.

| Flights, hotels and transport | 2× IHG One Rewards | none |
| Groceries | 2× IHG One Rewards | none |
| Everything else | 2× IHG One Rewards | none |
5x at IHG hotels, 3x on dining, utilities, streaming and gas, 2x elsewhere.

Credits count for $0 in the sum above — what a typical holder actually redeems, not the sticker value of every credit on the page. Welcome offer and credits not yet read from the issuer's page, so none are counted; added 2026-09-18 for its earn rates only. Travel is priced at the card's general travel rate, not its own-brand rate.
