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.)

It really depends on the rep you speak with. They can approve any airline charges.

The benefits say you can get an upgrade and receive a $100 credit towards dining etc.. for paid stays, does chase portal count for that, or does it have to be paid through Marriott?

I've had the boundless less than a year now.
The 35K FNC award posts 1-2 months after anniversary, right (month 13/14)?
If I upgrade to Ritz on day 366, do I miss out on both 35K and 85K FNC?
Any past data points on this, please?

Thanks!

There are dps upthread. The 35k fnc should post right away. It should stay even when you upgrade. You wont get the 85k fnc till next year.

Thanks for the confirmation. Almost all the reddit and blog posts said 35k fnc posts 1-2 months after anniversary.
Reports here say it shows up in Marriott account as soon as annual fee posts.

One question though:
I signed up on 10/1/23, first statement closed 10/22/23, and first annual fee was charged 11/1/23 (second statement).
I assume second annual fee will get charged 11/1/24. What happens to FNC if I upgrade on 10/1/24 (day 366, account age more than 1 year), before the second annual fee posts?

In my case the $95 af was refunded instantly and the ritz af hit ~6 months later. Had zero correlation to when the free night came in. (I am still gettting my 85k night in June and af in Dec  ::) )

fnc posts the same date as annual fee, i get that.
but i believe "anniversary date" and annual fee date are about 1 month apart.
what happens to the fnc if someone upgrades within that gap, after their first anniversary but before annual fee posts?

I messaged chase for $300 travel credit, and got message they have applied $300 to my upgrade ticket and it would take a couple of billing cycle for this credit to show up in my account. Do I need to wait a couple of billing cycle to cancel the ticket?

does the Ritz $300 credit go by calendar year or based on when you signed up?

Cancel for a refund. Chase doesn't usually claw back credits, particularly manually applied ones...
Any recent DP on this? Can i book and cancel?
