Editorial take: United Quest Business Card

United's mid-premium business. The $200 travel credit + 10k mile rebate after award bookings + 6 club passes routinely justify the $350 fee for any frequent United business traveler.

Editorial take: IHG One Rewards Premier

A solid hotel card if you stay at IHG properties regularly. The free night award and 4th night free on award stays can easily offset the $99 annual fee.

Common questions

Which card has the bigger sign-up bonus, United Quest Business Card or IHG One Rewards Premier?

Is the United Quest Business Card's $350 annual fee worth it compared to the IHG One Rewards Premier?
At $350/yr, the United Quest Business Card is in the mid-fee tier. Compare its specific perks (lounge access, travel credits, primary rental insurance) to the IHG One Rewards Premier's — pick the one whose perks you'll actually use.
Can I have both the United Quest Business Card and IHG One Rewards Premier?
Yes, though both are issued by Chase so the same issuer-specific application rules apply (Chase 5/24 if applicable, Amex once-per-lifetime bonus, etc.). Many points enthusiasts hold both — they pair well when one earns flexible bank points and the other earns a different currency.
Should I get the United Quest Business Card or the IHG One Rewards Premier first?
Get the one whose sign-up bonus you can hit comfortably without overspending. United Quest Business Card: $7,000 spend in 3 months. IHG One Rewards Premier: $3,000 in 3 months. Pick the easier minimum spend if you're new to points; pick the larger bonus if you have planned big purchases coming up.
