Update: 6/16/15:
So I smed chase again and got the same response, denying to match to 140k. I then called Chase and got a very nice rep who tried to match it for me but was unsuccessful. It said in her system that they were only matching to 140k credit cards that were applied before April 30th. I applied May 14th. She then gave me 5k Ritz points as a courtesy and told me to try to call Ritz Rewards and ask them to replace my 2 free nights with the equivalent amount of points (probably not 140k). I did just that and the Ritz rep said she cannot do that. Blah blah.....
This really sucks <img src="http://s3.amazonaws.com/tapatalk-emoji/emoji35.png" />

Update: 3/23/15: Many recent reports of successful match to 140k offer via SM
Updated link: https://creditcards.chase.com/credit-cards/ritz-carlton-card.aspx
Standard offer is for 2 free nights at Ritz Cat 1-4 which is not too bad either.

Update 2/9/15: DEAD     
current offer  140k bonus points +$300 airline credit annual fee 395 not waived
link https://www.theritzcarltonrewardscard.com/offer140k

To get $300 airline credit call 1-855-896-2222
don't buy gift cards from Chase affiliated airlines (United, SW..)
As Chase may be able to see what you purchased

JetBlue seat upgrades and delta seat upgrades worked for me.
Airline GC are very YMMV as there are reports of chase asking for receipts.
(Seat upgrades are officially covered in the T & C.)

There's not much of a market for them, might make more sense to go for a Hyatt, those nights go for $200-250 each.

the way i see this deal

70k points = $2-400 at a hotel
$200 airline fee creditx2 1 for 2012+2013 +$400
lounge access
hotel extra's credit $100

so it gets you about 900$ plus lounge access (400?)
hyatt gives you 2 nights that could be worth from 150-2000, but its ust 2 nights and only on a hotel. here your getting 400 cash 2 nights, (or one for a higher quality hotel) 100$ extra for hotel spending + lounge entrance no annual fee for first year!

Its actually a very very good sign up bonus considering its good for any marriot hotel, for only $2k spend + $300 airline reimbursement fee per calendar year + lounge club access + you get gold status amongst, other benefits

1) their gold status=crap
2) it is  $200 reimbursement not $300
3)its $400 a year not waived

There are plenty of hotel cards that are waay better.

It will get you 3 1/2 nights at Ritz Herzliya which is a pretty good value given the rate of $475 a night especially if you transfer 20k UR you get 5 nights=$2375 for a credit pull and $395

The regular marriot will get you two plus a free night certificate. Not worth the extra 200 IMO
