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.)

to get the $300 travel credit, does the ticket also need to be bought on this card, or i can buy the ticket on an amex, & pay for upgrades with the ritz?
Just the upgrade.

When you ask for them.
Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.

Not sure if I'm posting my question at a right thread. I recently lost my wallet with Ritz Carlton CC and Lounge Access card (benefits of RC CC) while on vacation in Dominican Republic. I called Chase customer service and ask if there is still a way for me to access airport lounge? Since I had my ink card with me they told me I can pay with Inc card and will be reimbursed for this charge. Now, a week later, when I called chase ink they say that there is no way for them to reimburse me and they are sorry I was giving wrong information a week ago. I'm speechless. I spent 1,5 hours back and forth btw different departments and got disconnected before getting any positive resolution.
Any advice on what is the proper way to handle my situation? There are notes on my RC account that I called on Dec 20th and was adviced to use my Inc card.
P.S. I paid $60 for 2  passes to the  airport lounge in Santo Domingo and it was horrible! Didn't even have tea bags in stock. And when I asked for them, I got told: "sorry we run out of tea." 😳😟
