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.

Am I missing something? I never did a ppgm yet, why after midnight? Why cancel after 45 hours?
What's the rush?
And when do you call chase?

Just as an FYI, this morning I also got my 2015, $300 credit for taxes I paid for on Iberia. I didn't say they were for taxes when she asked my - I said incidentials. She responded, no problem you should see the credit appear in on your statement within 2 business days. So, in less than 3 weeks I received $600 worth of credit from this card and as soon as my statement clses i will also have 140K points

does the amount need to be paid in full for it to post in the statement?

Just got instant approvals yesterday. When is the best time to call to confirm the bonus? Before or after the spending?

makes no difference. Why do you need to confirm? Did you not sign up through the standard link or are you referring to the possibility of only getting 2 nights?

I signed up thru the 140k link but saw many reports of ppl being given 2 nights instead of 140k points. Not interested in 2 nights I want the points.

I don't think there is a concern, I think those who got 2 nights is because they used a different link (the standard chase link) which only offers 2 nights.
But if you used the 140k offer I believe you should be good.

+1

Hence my question whether it's better to confirm after or before spend? If for some reason they didn't want to grant me the 140k offer how long do I have to cancel to get the AF refunded

its not a matter if if they will. They most def will. You just may have to call more than once

I am also sure that's the case, it's just I'm not sure if I should meet the spend first.
