I haven't found it in my account either. We probably have to call to make use of the cert

You will NOT see it in your account online. I was told that it was MY responsibility to keep track of it. I don't remember getting the original email (they claimed they sent one) and I did lose track of the expiration date. The cert disappeared and I was told it could not be re-instated. So don't make the mistake I did...

Yes, you have to call to make use of the cert. They can see it when they look at your account.

I have received multiple notices of the annual free night certificate (I've had the card for two years now), both via postal mail and via email. You do have to call in to redeem.
There are threads here on the certificate:

You might have heard about this already, but just wanted to clarify that that won't work anymore, because starting Jan. 1, only base points will qualify toward status, and not bonus points like those from credit card signups.
That's actually not how I read the announcement. The exact wording is:
Base points earned from Qualifying Rates paid for hotel stays, points collected from partner transactions, PCR Bonus Points Packages and Meeting Rewards are considered Elite Qualifying Points and counted towards membership elite status.
I would read CC points as "points collected from partner transactions" and qualifying. But we'll have to wait until next year to see.

See the main discussion here: http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/inter...te-status.html

And the terms language here: http://www.priorityclub.com/hotels/u...er-terms#elite

The card is called the Intercontinental Hotels GRP Visa Signature credit card.

Chase does NOT differentiate bonus by the levels of the card.

Only BofA and Barclays have this dirty practice.

Both Chase and Citi would give you the bonus signed up for even if you are approved for a lesser card.

If you indeed have a lower bonus attached to your application, most likely is due to your clicking around to view various links and did not clear cookie / cache before you applied using the proper link. Besides, you mention you "believe" you use the link in Post 1... You should be "for sure" instead of "believe"... that gives an impression you have been clicking around before you finally applied. Typical newbie mistake.

Can you tell me where you got that promo code? I just tried and only got the 60,000 offer

Edit: I am guessing you found it on this forum? Unfortunately the 80k offer did not come up for me using that

Applied a few days ago using the link on post #1. Got the pending review. But the next day PC is showing up on my chase account.
Did not verify bonus upon activation, since every card so far has earned the bonuses whether or not listed on the app page.
However, reading today's thread, got me a bit unsure as whether my card is indeed 80K. Re-read post #62, decided to serach my email for 80k string. Voila, found the email , it is actually received today, but I totally ignored it.
Email titled "Welcome to the Priority Club® Select Visa® card". The email confirmed
----
Start earning free nights.

Dear

Confirm receipt of your card today.
Simply call the toll-free number 1-888-489-7249 on the front of your Priority Club® Select Visa® card to confirm receipt, and start earning. You'll earn 80,000 bonus points after your first purchase.5
----

So up to my click a few days ago, the link on post 1 is the right one eventhough the landing page does not indicate anything about 80K.
