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.)

They told me it's not covered because it's not listed as one of the covered expenses, but then again neither are gift cards listed and people have reported success with it

After calling for the credit, how long does it usually take to post? They said 1-2 billing cycles but I feel like its probably much fast than that.
Anyone with personal experience care to share?

The first attachment was so small I didn't even notice it. Its completely possible (probably likely) that the answer you just got was in response to your message from 2 days ago. They're never that fast.
Congrats!

I did a delta PGGM NYC-tlv RT (2 119$ charges and a NYC-lax flight with an 89$ EC seat)
I called while it was pending and was told to call back later. I just called after it posted and said they were seat assignment fees and got the $300 credit! I'm hoping it posts in 2014 so I can get another in 2015. I will post again as soon as the credit posts.

You cancelled the tix the same day? How did it post without the rep seeing it was cancelled?
