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.)

To a "club level" room (whatever that is)?

Honestly... Not sure. Much bigger room. And the suites at RC Herzilya aren't so easily available

Looks like you're the only one on the forums who paid with cash for an RC reservation!

You mean you paid with points? I thought the upgrades were only for paid stays.

Friendliness etc. "gets you places and status" or "friendliness etc. and status" gets you places? Where do we insert it? ;)

I got mine removed and I didn't get the 140k. I called up to expedite it and they assured me it will be there in a days time and it's still not there.

Was this a recent match? If so, what did you write- they denied me a few weeks ago because the 140k offer had expired too long ago.

Not too recent. I got matched when everyone was still getting matched.
