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.)

I have it by default, but I guess you could set it in your notification settings

Booked flights on Jet Blue and book seat upgrades totaling $315 as well. Called and ask them to credit me the $300 for incidental charges. She said she would have to wait until the charge went out of pending status and properly posted. She asked how much the incidentals were for and advised $315. She said that Jet Blue doesn't breakdown the incidentals from the airfare but that she would make a notation on my record and personally make sure the credit is issued once the charge posted. Will keep you posted.....

It should be fine even if it doesn't, I'm cutting it close as well and was told by a rep that he'll personally take care of me but it shouldn't be an issue either way.

Are you going to cxl the reservation before the 24 hour period? or did you not really charge the incidentals on the reservation?

Bad news for SW gc.... They caught up!

I was just told (both times of HUCA) that my $75 charges were for gift cards! It worked fine till last night and I got my first $75 reimbursed but seems like they've had a system update today.
They said the gc transactions starts with 5260xxxxxxx on the account and that Chase has been having some confusions since the past few days. Now the SW charges clearly show as gc.

Already out of time for 2014 for any other experiments ... oh well!
