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.)

Denied, they said that they could see it is for a gift registry.

why in the world you guys using UA GC/GR for the bonus its bean known that UA and CHASE have 3D communication and UA will give chase more info then any other airline keep in mind chase credits are done manually so thy can (if thy want) look into the transaction and either see what its for or ask for more info

Airline GC have both successful and unsuccessful reports.
Nobody who did a pggm properly was unsuccessful.

Book a delta nonrefundable flight shortly after midnight.
Buy the EC seats with your ritz card shortly after. Cancel the flight 45 hours later. You should have a big window of time that the EC charges posted but not the refund. Call chase and say you spent $300 on seat upgrades.
