Someone has uncovered an application link for the IHG credit card offering 5 Free Night certificates (each usable for properties costing up to 60,000 points). However, when you click through, it goes straight to the application page and does not have a landing page. Based on past patterns, this type of offer is likely a targeted offer intended for certain people only. That said, so far there have not been any reports of accounts being shut down for using this kind of offer improperly. If you plan to apply, you should do it quickly, because links like this usually stop working soon.
However, according to the grapevine, this 5 FN offer will officially be posted online for public applications in early July. If you are uncomfortable using this unofficial link, you can wait and see whether the official link appears on the bank's website.
Here is the card's information:
