The Chase IHG Select card, no longer available to new applicants since 2018, will see its annual fee increase to $99. The card's benefits, including a free night certificate and platinum status, will remain. The change is expected to affect existing cardholders who opted to keep the card due to its lower annual fee and benefits.

Platinum status and a 10% rebate will also continue. However, it's unclear if cardholders will be able to top off their points.
