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.)

On this card, it might be. I also SMed a few days ago and no response.

But 90 second phone call fixed everything.

if you finished spending 10 days before the statement closed you should see your points right away YMMV

I just got my $300 credit after calling in on Sunday for my pggm. If you're refunds and charges are posting the same day I would advise doing the united PGgM or attempting a southwest one.( book 6 passengers on oneway from mex-San Antonio for around 30,000 points and 350$. Then you don't have to worry about refunds getting in the way.

someone mentioned earlier that spend has to be completed 10 days before closing.

I have a hotel stay booked with points for feb 8 and 1st statement closes jan 8 and next one feb 8.

If i complete spend right away when I get card which I hope will be latest at end of this week, I dont know when I will receive points, anyone have any experience with this?
