Yup, and given most hotel rooms are more than $99 a night anymore it's a card worth keeping even beyond the signup bonus--- though typically NOT worth putting any spend on beyond enough to earn said bonus.
Define decent?
Could be like 20 nights at a low-priced IHG and stacking the 4th night free benefit multiple times (so like 15 nights on points plus 5 free 4th nights)
Could be 2 nights at a crazy high end property.
Unfortunately, I still need to wait few more months *.*

IHG has no blackout dates on reward rooms.
They DO allow capacity limits... (say for example a specific hotel might choose to only allow 10 percent of their rooms as bookable on points)- but they aren't allowed to prohibit ANY point bookings for any date the hotel is open.
Only thing I want to make sure is if it doesn't count towards chase rules 5/24 b.c they do ask for SSN etc.

But I like the fact it offers free night upon renewal, like Marriott used to do that.

Business cards don't count as one of the 5 in 5/24, but you must be under the 5/24 limit to GET a chase business card (ie they check your total when you apply, but being approved does not add to that total).

Domestically for 10k you're probably talking an HIE on an off-peak Sunday night or something.
Marriot still does this on some cards-I've got both a personal and a business card that for $95 annual fees get you a 35k/night cert every year....
And the high AF amex gets you an 85k/night one but the AF is somewhat harder to be a no-brainer renewal... there's a $25/mo restaurant credit that's pretty much same-as-cash, but still leaves you with a $350/yr net annual fee.
For the $350 you get:
That 85k pt cert- and to be fair you can EASILY get a room that costs a lot more than $350/nt with that cert...but you only get ONE such night so tough for me to give that full value since more likely you'd be stacking it with your free 35k nights.
Marriott Platinum status- which if you mostly stay in lower/mid range hotels doesn't get you much to write home about besides the occasional "higher floor or nicer view" type upgrades... in nicer properties though it gets you both potentially better upgrades and more important free otherwise-not-free breakfast for 2 and hotel lounge access for those properties that have it.
25 elite nights a year (which can stack with the 15 you get from a business card)-- this is only relevant either if you stay at least 10 nights a year to get organic platinum (and thus get a choice benefit the default plat from the card does NOT get you) or you stay at least 35 nights for organic titanium.
You also get the inferior Amex version of priority pass but plenty other cards have some PP access as well.
Oh, I should mention- the single 85k pt cert by itself thing is one reason I'm considering product changing my Chase Marriott personal card to the Ritz Carlton card.... $450 annual fee instead of $95... but you get an 85k point cert instead of a 35k one that I could stack with the amex, increasing the relative value of both certs... and there's a $300/yr airline incidental credit you can get near-full value toward airfare on in various ways (or totally full if using it for either award ticket taxes or seat/class upgrades) meaning you're effectively paying about $50 to get an 85k cert instead of a 35k one... (there's a few other perks too but mainly require paid stays at very expensive hotels to get anything out of- and they have to be paid stays to benefit at all)
Phew that's good to know that's why I'm trying to go for business card because next year June hopefully if there'sa chase preferred deal I can apply for it
