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.)

Even if he has extremely expensive domestic tickets at $500 each roundtrip, that's $1000. $100 off is 10% off. The CSP doesn't come close to that.

Does the benefit work on cheap one ways too? Such as $50x2 passengers JFK to BOS for free after $100 off?

ETA: see terms now, state must be round trip.

Seems like this card is now under 5/24 I got denied for too many cards in the past 2 years.

Too many cards is not necessarily 5/24.

That would both make sense and suck. The blogs and forums were shoving this in Chase's face. I know of approvals on Monday.
Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.

Nothing lasts forever / no time like the present!

Except... I may be going out on a limb here: Chase hasn't made the decision of 5/24 for certain cards and not others without consultation and/or permission from the co-brand partner. So there's a specific reason why on cards like Ritz, Hyatt, IHG, British, etc, the partner and chase made the decision to keep the standard approval/denial to not include 5/24.

My point is, since Monday, it seems unlikely that Ritz/Chase could have agreed to apply 5/24 in two-three days.

it could be with the influx of calls from CSR. The reps are well versed in 5/24 and using it on all cards.

The letters will tell - they indicate a difference in language with too many recent accounts or 5/24.

anyone received the new infinite version from your previous signature card? I got an email 10 days ago saying the benefit is upgraded to the infinite version but didn't receive new card in mail.

Got accepted for this card after reconsideration call for 10k credit limit, for the reserve they wouldn't reconsider at all, seems like closed case.
