Someone mentioned they saw the 80k but was already at platinum status. Were you at platinum at the time of watching the video? I think it is getting information from the PC, and if so exactly what? Personally, I doubt it matters as all 80k data is embeded for the 80k offer code once you click on the link given here. I think once that's submitted with the app there is no further validation on Chase's part. I know that I tried 3 codes and cleared my cache/cookies/reset modem each time and had a different source code and not the "H57" & "57" (OVERRIDE_CELL & SUB_PARTNER_ID) that the 80k gives. I never once saw the 80k on 'my' entry or ending splash screens (only 60k).
I think the point was that you could be absolutely sure that you would get 80k since you were shown the link.

So it seems that we all agree that simply using the referring link alone it is highly likely that we can get the 80k offer. I feel pretty confident of this, any reason not to?

anybody got an unused code to watch the video they do not need? i could use one - pm me please.
also something a little strange - i tryed some of the codes, put my number in and it offered me 80k ap (i already signed up for the 60k so i'm hoping for a bump) then i used my wife's # under the same code and it only offered her the 60k ap. i tryed hers first on some of the codes and then put mine in, same thing - she only gets the 60k ap while i get the 80k ap.
i'm waiting to apply for her card if i can get her a 80k ap. and i didn't get the 1000 pts. for watching the video.

Worked like a charm for me, so I don't see why not. That said, considering this non-public offer seems to have become "public," Chase may yank this sooner rather than letter, so you should probably get it while the getting's good.

confirmation emails
I applied using the link in post 1.
Just as it worked for Kdoughboy, I got confirmation emails for my husband's account and my own confirming that we'll get 80K upon first use.
If you're interested, I'd jump on this

Good deal, too bad everyone has to partner with Chase.

Thx. The card appeared on my CHASE account but no email yet. Did your email arrive after the cards appeared in Chase online account?

The link in the OP appears to be working well for folks applying for the card for the first time and seeking the 80K bonus. The purpose of using the codes is for those of us who recently applied under the 60K bonus, already have the card, and are seeking a screenshot of an actual invitation to the 80K offer, with our name and account number on it, so we can more convincingly request a bump of 20K miles because of that offer.

I've already done that and am awaiting reply; the personalized screenshot is my backup, and probably a preferable route to seeking a bump. Also, there has been some suggestion that providing the link in a bump request might result in killing the link... (see posts # 80, 85 & 86) --hopefully not! The screen shot to the video 80K personalized invitation might be a better way to request a bump.

I hope the cards come quickly as we're hosting a party for 20 soon at the local Intercontinental...would love to put that tab on my new card at 5pts per $!

Is this better than 70k Marriott card?
