I made the $1k spend right away and will probably go from basic Club to Platinum status during a 10 days stay I have coming up soon. Will I only get Club status for the whole stay or will I have to check out and then back in to take advantage of the new Platinum status??

I received my 80k points in my chase account.
I just signed up for an IHG rewards club account. How do I transfer the points in the chase account to the IHG rc account?

You don't (and can't) transfer points from Chase to IHG. They're earned via Chase, and reported monthly to IHG with no intervention by the user.
It sounds as if you didn't include an IHG member number on your Chase card application. In that case, Chase asked IHG to set up an account for you -- and that's where your ~80K points are. (If this happened, call Chase & ask for the IHG account number tied to your account.)

Mine was converted to mc. But, I've had the card since June 2012 (well the visa version and mc version for a month). So I should be ok to cancel and reapply since it's been two years? Do you think the version switch will mess up the two year?

I think the rule for Chase is 2 years after the app, at least 1 year after canceling the old card. They haven't canceled your Visa, they just switched it to MC.

I think this is a great deal just for the points and the free nights every year. I even booked 2 nights at a holiday inn for 20k points, so i got 40k points left.

IHG Rewards 80K Bonus Offer
Is Chase offering the 80K bonus at this time or is it 60K?

My first statement closed a few days ago, and I got the points from purchases the next day. However, no IHG platinum status yet -- is that expected?

I applied IHG mastercard last week and got it today. I called to verify and there is 80k offer linked to my account. So the 80k offer is still not dead.
