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.)

Even If i took the $300 air fare credit? If so why isn't this one of the best cards out there?
Besides making over $2,000 from the Amex plat
This is prob the best bonus I ever got!
140,000 marriott points + $600 cash (not airline GC)
+ marriott gold status + unlimited Loungeclub for a year and NO ANNUAL FEE!

It doesn't get a lot of blogger attention
Probably has to do with referral $(or lack thereof)

You gotta ask the folks that haven't signed up for this card yet.

SHH!! Lets keep this card our secret. If heavy black metal cards become popular, we will not be cool when we pay for our Starbucks anymore.

Though within 180 days is done manually and therefore means more attention to your accounts.
For heavy churners it's better to close the card within 60 days and get an automatic refund.

can you explain why manual gives more attention than automatic?

Since a human is actually looking at your accounts. IMO that's ridiculous but people here enjoy being unnecessarily cautious

Why not try calling?  Though chances are they will just tell you to wait another statement

I did and that's what they said, its just interesting because usually with other Chase cards it's refunded within days.
