I applied using the 60k link on 7/27, SM'd chase 7/29 (haven't received card yet).
silly me forgot to mention the $50, I will try for it when I reply back after I spend $1k
We will be happy to match the richer offer of 80,000

80k offer target
I received an 80k targeted offer with a code contained in the e-mail. Awhile ago I did an IHG survey that garnered me some points and is what I figured had triggered this. I actually got a targeted? 70k offer shortly after which I ignored and the other day I got this.
Instantly approved for it with a 28k limit. Only other Chase card I have open is Chase Sapphire Preferred.

I saw posts that points post day after statement closing. My statement closed on 8/4, I see I received bonus points on the statement, Chase rep says they sent the points to IHG on 8/5, account number is correct, but as of 8/6 IHG can't see them. CSR on the phone was useless. She says she will assign this to a different department who will call me back in 5-7 days. Problem is I'm flying on 8/10 and need these points to book my last 2 nights for next week 
Yes I know I cut it too close but it's just how things worked out and I have no use for the points after this trip, I rarely get to travel due to work and a toddler. Any advice on how I get this expedited? I don't want to miss out on the darn points due to some system glitch.

When will the platinum status show in your account? The offer terms says 6-8 weeks. I got approved 10days ago but still no status change. Anyone has data point?

I wonder if somebody manually has to download these updates and the person is on vacation or something...

Points showed up yesterday and I was able to make my points booking in time. Hotel already combined this last minute reservation with my paid nights and upgraded the whole stay. Happy ^

Did you look at the wiki?
Q. Where can I learn more about the annual free-night certificate associated with this card? How long are the certificates good for? Are the certificates revoked if you cancel your Chase card?

Several times today, I tried all of the links in the wiki. All of them showed pages with 404 errors. That means the offer is no longer available. So I went to Chase.com and pulled up the existing offer from there. It is 60K without the $50 credit. I have updated the wiki accordingly.

Matching still going on-ish
Applied for 60k points + $50 statement credit on sunday. Was approved monday morning after identity verification. Immediately SM-ed asking for 80k and $50 statement credit
Got a reply today (finally!) saying they will give me extra 20k points but no statement credit. Said i should SM them after meeting the spend and they will manually credit 20k but re-bill the $50 if the credit has already applied.
A bit annoyed but i will take it
