The Priority Club Credit Card got revamped jointly by InterContinental Hotels and Chase, back in 2010. With feedback from the Club members with a goal in mind to deliver best benefits to customers, the Priority Club Credit Card was introduced.
Features
Nominal Annual Fee- The yearly charges with the Priority Club Credit Card are just $49, which is bearable to any normal customer.
No Fees for Foreign-transaction- The most desirable feature of the Priority Credit card is that, it does not charges for any foreign purchase. Most of the Credit Card providers charges around 3% tax on all foreign shopping.
Getting Rewards- On every expenditure made, card holder can get 5 points at the InterContinental Hotels, 2 points on drugstores, gas and groceries each, 1 point on elsewhere purchases.
Yearly Free Night Stay- On completion of one year with the credit card, each customer gets a certificate for one free night stay at any specified location of the issuer. The certificate is emailed each year 6-8 weeks after the anniversary date.
Pros with Priority Club Credit Card:
- Priority Club Credit Card is handy for exchanging free stays in Holiday Inn group Hotels.
- As long as, one is a Priority Club Credit Card reward visa cardholder, one gets ‘Gold Elite Status’ in the program of Priority Club.
- No charges on the transactions done in other countries.
- Visa Signature Benefits is also available.
- Priority Club Point Breaks
- Retail Gift Cards
Cons
- Terrible customer care services and protection
- Complicated for normal-card users
- Values of the reward vary considerably basing on the nature of spending credit.

Verdict
The Priority Club Credit Card is making its presence for a long time, in the market. Though, it was not so luring in the past; the new version has a great oomph in the market. The darker side is that the value of the points will be averaging low to 1/4 -3/4, depending on the redemption policy of the cardholder. Those Card holders, who frequently tend to stay at the Inter-Continental Group of Hotels or places will find it beneficial to have a priority club credit card.
