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.)

I met my spend and received my 5k points on new ritz card. Statement ended on 8/28.

DP: I still have not received my 3 nights in my marriott account

I'm in the second situation - x 4 accounts.

Are you sure it's supposed to be in your Marriott and not your Ritz account?

It should show up in my marriott account i assume as the club level upgrades are showing.

Sorry if this was asked already. Does anyone know the exact terms of the 100 inifinite discount on rt tickets? Like would it work for a place like Asia were you can easily find 2 tickets rt to a local destination for 100?

Works on most major US airlines, for a US domestic flight.

I think sometimes the first card doesn't have your rewards number on the back, it's just blank there. Then they send you another one with the number on it.

Bingo! So they send a whole box again with next day UPS just to have it with rewards number.

I asked chase to match me to the offer of 3 nights. It's more than 90 days, but within 3 months of my first statement. They said they will match it, but since the old offer was $4k and the new one is $5k, I have to have $5k spend by the end of the three months, which is three months from the first statement (actually plus 2 days).

Is the $100 credit managed and paid for by Chase or visa? The system seems like the bookings are manual, not  automatic (which is never good).
Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.

I think it's a mistake or something because when I got my 2nd box I called to find out why and the rep didnt know. I realized after this difference of rewards # so maybe it's computer generated etc
