Click Here to get more details on this card and compare to other cards!

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.)

2 statements passed and the nights still had not posted. I reached out to Chase through SM, and the nights posted within 24 hours. PP was also never sent, until I requested.

Ritz resets on calendar year. So 12/31/2016 and 01/01/2017 would be two different reimbursement periods.

Yes, but it doesn't say if I can do PGGM. It just says that I can buy beat upgrades.
Also maybe PGGM is good if these stuff are automatically, VS here that ita done manually?

Ritz you gotta call after the charge posts, not auto.

That's why I'm asking for a method to charge the card with an incidental travel fee.
Will seat upgrades for a refundable ticket work? Will they forfeit points or anything after canceling the ticket?

if i have the non-infinity version of the Ritz card, am i still eligible to receive the bonus on this one?
i.e. is chase considering this as a different product?

Just got email with approval for travel credit - the email says the credit will appear on my next statement (12/15). I assume that the AF will hit on the 12/15 statement. If I put a charge through on 1/1, get the charge approved on say 1/5 and cancel the card on 1/10 (before 30 days are up to get back the AF) will I still get the $300 credit on the 1/15 statement?
