possibly 80k still alive
If you copy-and-paste the "new" 60k application URL from the post referenced in the wiki for the 80k, there are a few character deviations although they almost look identical.
In past experience (thinking Sapphire cards last year) using the old URLs with Chase would get you the bonus. So, I would bet heavily anyone using the direct URL still could get the 80k. Worst case, you'll get the 60k and can beg, but it's not like you'll get nothing.

What we do need are reports of posted 80K MC bonuses.

My 80k points posted about 7-10 days after I hit the $1000. If you look in the my reward history on the IHG card itll show up there and a few days later itll be in your account. A few days after that, my status was updated to platinum as well

Your statement has not even closed when the bonus posted? If it is the case, then it is a first of Chase cards which the bonus normally does not post mid cycle but after statement close and only when the spend needed is made at least a week before statement closes.

A Tale of Two IHG Mastercard Offers
Using the same video link and promo codes per post #1615, an "active" IHG account received the 80K offer while an "inactive" IHG account received the 60K offer. Read on for more info.
I am an IHG Visa cardholder (soon to be MasterCard) with an IHG point balance of 37K+. My wife is an 'authorized user' on my IHG Visa, with her personal IHG point balance at -0- (since we always use my account). My wife wanted to apply for the new IHG Mastercard under her name and her IHG account. She used the video link per post #1615 using her account number and she received an offer to apply for the 60K point Mastercard. Then, just to be sure, I watched the video using my account number and I received an offer to apply for the 80K point Mastercard. My wife used the link to the 80K point Mastercard application that I received under my active account and her new card was approved and should provide the 80K point bonus. Time will tell.
Interesting that an "active" IHG account received the 80K offer. But what defines an "active" account? Is the criteria for receiving the 80K point offer based on points, or activity, or only for current credit card holders?
I hope this info helps someone else to receive the 80K point MasterCard offer!

Not sure about other people, but I still haven't received any letter nor is there any notice when I logon to chase.com my card being switched over to the MasterCard.
When I secure messaged chase, I was told:
So those who haven't been switched over already, you may have a chance to cancel still before everyone who is remaining is migrated over so as to preserve your eligibility for the IHG MasterCard bonus.
When I secure messaged chase, I was told:
We do not have an exact date when the account will
transition from Visa to Mastercard. However, you new card
will be mailed in April 2014 or May 2014.
