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.)

For the 10K AU points, do you need to just add an AU, or also make a purchase?

No need to purchase through the au card.

Purchase doesn't have to be on AU card.
Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.

Do you need to make a purchase on the regular card then? i.e. I already finished my 5K and only added the AU now, so do I need to make 1 more purchase? Or am I good?

Correct, chase AU's have the same number so you just need to make a purchase on either card once you add the AU

Is this for new cardholders or can a existing cardholder add an au & get the 10k

I'm waiting over 5 (over 3 from closing)...
Where in my Ritz account do I see the nights? Like how do I tell if I got them or not. Sorry for the dumb question.
