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 just called to have them refund the purchase of a $100 AA gift card (I told him it was Club Passes), and the rep wanted me to provide some sort of proof that it was an incidental, he said I could either provide a receipt or he could contact the airline. Obviously I don't want him to contact AA. I plan to call back later and hope the next rep doesn't give me any trouble.  If not I'll try to SM Chase.

Anyone else experience something like this?
I just called back after SMing with no response and the rep said she needed to confirm with AA that the purchase was in fact club passes and that they would call me back after they confirmed and refund the purchase. I think I might be screwed since it was not actually club passes. If this is a new rule on Chase's part I think a lot of people are gonna be screwed.

He means for purchases already made. I'm waiting on 3 X $100 United GC which I easily got on 12/31, I hope nothing changed.

I just called for my credit (three AA gift cards) and was told that they don't issue credits for gift cards, and she can see that the charge was for gift cards. She said that there were rumors going around online that people were purchasing gift cards for credit and they putting a stop to it. :( any way to cancel my gift card purchase and cancel to card without having to pay the fee?

So odd what Amex and Chase choose to crack down on. Chase still hasn't stopped churning yet is jumping to stop this. And amex stopped churning yet doesn't prevent this

Anyone know if the airline fees which are being reimbursed count towards the spending requirement? The reimbursements are posted as "Statement Credit" and are "adjustmnets"not sales or refunds which leads me to believe that they would count but then again I really don't end up $300 (or $600) short on my spend.

The declined me. They verified with United that it's GCs and notated so on my account that those purchases are not eligible...

They called me back after the contacted AA to verify my purchases and but I ignored the call hoping they'd say in the call the results of their contact with AA. I'm assuming they notated it in my account as well that my 3rd $100 GC was an ineligible purchase. At least I got by with the other $200. I just need to figure out what to do for my 2015 $300.

No, I got that about a week ago but for 2015 they said no. She even mentioned that she sees my 2014 purchases were also for GC but it's too late as I was already credited.
