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.)

You downgraded the Ritz card to a Marriot card that has no fee?
Any marriot benefit with that marriot card?

Any recent DP with southwest GC for the $300 credit? Does the charge post as Southwest or SW gift card?

IIRC you're only gonna get the difference in AFs refunded $310 ($395 for the Ritz - $85 for the Marriott Premier) so you'll pay the $85 Marriott AF with no benefits until the anniversary, which comes with another $85 AF. I guess you could wait for the anniversary night to post then cancel but that's no different than any other card with an anniversary benefit.

Since when? Is that the only for new apps? I just got my AF 1/1/17 and it was $395.

Yes for new apps. Although next year, it will probably be $450 for everyone

Is my ritz # automatically my marriott #? Do I have to sign up for a ritz account or do I automatically have one if I have a marriott account?

Do AU's get the same benefits in regards to rentals and hotels?
