Chase IHG Rewards Mastercard offer for 80,000 points still available

Recently, Chase switched the IHG Rewards Visa to a Mastercard.  I had applied for the Visa version in December 2013 and received an 80,000 points bonus after $1000 spend.  I promptly received an email from Chase saying the switch would be made.

Many people cancelled their Visa card before the switch with the hopes that they could get the bonus again with the mastercard.  I chose not to do that as I felt it was too soon since I had just opened that card.

However, there is a still an 80,000 point offer for the new IHG Rewards Mastercard.  There are a few ways to get the offer:

1) You can watch this video after entering your IHG Rewards number, PIN, and promotion code PGFTNHNAD3 or SAMPN3YAA39 (HT: Flyertalk).  If you are targeted, you may see the 80,000 points offer.   If you are not targeted, you may see 60,000 points offer.  After watching the video, you will also receive 1000 IHG Rewards points if you haven’t in the past.  Here is the offer I saw after the video:

2) If you don’t care to go that route, you can use this direct link to the offer.  This is the link that I got when I clicked on the offer at the end of the video.  The landing page doesn’t show 80,000 points, but this is how the visa offer was in the past.

3) Last option: You could apply for the regular offer of 60,000 points and then ask Chase to see if they can match the 80,000 offer.  Chase is usually pretty good at matching offers within the first 90 days.  You could use the above image as evidence if you like.   In addition, there is also a 60,000 point offer with $50 statement credit after 1st purchase.

It comes with annual fee waived first year, $49 thereafter.  The 2 best benefits are the annual free night at any Intercontinental hotel in the world and the 10% rebate on point redemptions.  The benefits of the card are the same as the previous visa card.  As a result, I will keep this card forever or until they change the benefits.
