Just called the 877 application line, but it says (automated message) that they are no longer accepting applications for this offer over the phone.

On a side note, she definitely opened more than 5 cards in the last 24 months, so looks like the Chase 5/24 rules haven't quite kicked in yet.

The 5/24 has not been a problem,for us this year.
I see many talking about it, I have not had any problem, nor has my wife.
We do bank with Chase.

I can confirm this, it worked for my girlfriend. Went all the way through the reservation process until the last page when it asks for payment and saw the 80K +$50 offer. Signed up and was offered a huge $19K CL.

If you can't see the offer, try these links. The first one is the URL once the landing page has loaded, the second is the URL that is generated from clicking the link from the reservation page.

I applied for the card on April 16 through the Accelerate 2016 link. The promo for that was you get 60K plus 2K for using the Accelerate link. Got the "wait" page. Finally got approved April 1. Logged onto IHG and saw there's a link for 80K points. Called before I even got my card and was told to meet the spend limit first then call back. Now that I've met the spend limit I'm going to give them a call and will update once I get a response.
