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.)

i.e. is chase considering this as a different product?

All Ritz Visa Signature cards were automatically upgraded to Infinite. Even though you may not have received a new card that shows the Infinite  logo. It is not a new product. You will not receive a new sign up bonus.

Sorry if it's been asked before, does a United gift registry count towards travel credit/ airline incidentals? Will chase allow that?

Wiki isn't all that clear with regards to that, has anyone successfully had a gift registry contribution post as travel incidental credit afterward?

Wiki is deliberately obscure. Remember, the credit is manually applied, not automatically, so data points are nice but not absolute.
Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.

CMIIW If you have a AAdvantage card you get a free bag even if you don't pay with that card.
For UMPE I think you officially have to use that card (I have no experience with this, maybe it is easy to get around this or maybe not).

Sorry,  I actually meant to say the Aviator card (I think it applies to all AA cards but I am more certain that it works with the Aviator card).

I've never done it but I just googled it and you just have to make sure to put your AA ff number on the reservation at least 7 days before you fly (this is true for both Citi AA cards and the Barclay's Aviator card).
