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.)

Seems like pggm is no longer working, any other suggestions how to take advantage of travel credit without actually travelling?
Sometimes it doesn't pay to save money.

PGGM in the classic sense of the word wasn't really a reliable method even before the Delta change. Read upthread to see what people have been doing.
Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.

you can sell the jet blue travel bank but that would have to be at a discount. i doubt chase will be of any help, maybe with enough of a real reason you could convince jetblue to refund it

No
I believe credit card fraud and theft are both crimes.

You'll be much better off calling jet blue and being them.

No
Then it'd be pretty stupid to dispute the charge claiming that you did, IMO. Do you really not think that JetBlue has exact records of when you canceled?

It'd be a lot smarter to try feeding JetBlue a sob story until a  sympathetic rep refunds you.

just take the hit as a lesson learned it happens to everyone at some point. sell the credit at a discount and hopefully with the $ you gained from the ritz credit you don't come out down to much.

The One who tells you not to lie should replace your loss many times over

isn't it crazy how so many of us make this mistake? I had once booked 2 nonrefundables being that upgrade on first didn't total 300$. Cs rep (can't remember if it was a supervisor) refunded only 1 but not the other so had to sell it on travel bank selling thread at 85% (iirc). End of the day was still on top. Not terrible
