there are a lot of questions about your business such as EIN, and Revenue info.
EIN is just your SSN for most people. Revenue requires no verification, but many have been fine just putting 0 if it's a new business.

I got the old IHG card before the change. I want to know if I applied for this either personal or business would I still get the offer for this card?
You can get 1 personal card- if you still hold the old personal you can't get the new one (there was a small window you could get both- that's long gone though)
The business card is entirely independent of either personal card and having one has nothing to do with eligibility for the other (outside of the normal Chase rules like 5/24 or 2/30 that aren't specific to IHG cards)
So yes you can get this two and get 2 free nights a year for 2 annual fees.

aprox what's the dollar value off 165,000 IHG points?
$0.00 since you can't redeem the points for cash.
If you mean for booking IHG rooms that depends on the room... a typical AVERAGE value is about 0.5 cents per point so 165k would be about $825 worth of IHG hotel room.... but sometime you can get more or less than that... and if you leverage the 4th night free benefit using points that can bump the value as well (by roughly 25% if booking exactly 4 nights)

I use IHG cards for the annual free night, well since you pay the annual fee its not really free is it.. hah but its worth to use on an oceanfront beach hotel so saves me alot of $$$
The points are a side bonus, i can get the orlando waterpark hotel for 19k so that would be 8 nights or so value
signed up as a sole proprietorship, took some time and a call in but finally go approved
Compared to the personal card, this one has a larger signup bonus, higher annual fee,without the " free night" annually. Am I missing something? I still prefer keeping my personal card.
If I just got the premier non-business card a couple months ago, do I still get the bonus if I apply for this?
Business cards are separate from personal cards so you should get the bonus (unless there is fine print excluding that).
If you want to make absolutely sure you can call and ask.
However, best to record the call.
I called Citibank when I got an email offering me the Citi AAdvantage card with a personal invitation number and fine print excluding persons who got the bonus within 48 months. I was told the PI number meant I was eligible for the offer, but after I spend the money they reneged based on the fine print. I had no record of the call and was SOL.
They offered 175K within the last 6 months, so I will wait.
FYI, when I applied for the Chase Hyatt Business card, (at 5/24) the denied it based on (probably 5/24) and lack of a "business relationship" with Chase.

Several.
Including that it DOES include the free night annually. It's right in the original post

Also the annual fee is the same as the current personal card.
There's an older, cheaper, personal card that you haven't been able to do a new signup for in a couple years though (that has different overall benefits than the current personal card)

Assuming you use IHGs there no reason not to have both and get 2 free nights.
There was a relatively brief period where if you had the old retired personal card you could ALSO get the new personal card (that is no longer possible, you can't get the new one if you still have the old one now)-- but if you DID do that, and stacked with this business card it meant that for about $248 total you got every year:
3 free nights (2 of which you could add points to if needed- can't on legacy card)
4th night free on all reward stays
10% rebate on all points redeemed
Platinum status (they all gave that, and it ain't worth much anyway)
With only your legacy card (I assume you have the old legacy card since you're mentioning a lower annual fee) you're missing out on 2 $98 'free' nights that are points-toppable and the 4th night free benefit.

What can you downgrade to if you get this?
Nothing. But there's no reason to want to downgrade it unless you never stay in hotels, since the $99 annual fee gets you a free night every year on top of the (very minor value of) platinum status and 4th night benefits. And if you never stay in hotels, why are you opening it in the first place unless you're taking one trip, ever, or something.
