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.)

Keep us posted.

Any advantage to keeping this thing open? will try to juice the 300$ credit in 2016 if i keep it open.... but if lounge passes and statuses also stay even if card closes is there any advantage to keeping it open?!
I don't know about lounge, though my 2 cents says it stays active for that year.
But when it comes to statutes I believe u stay with them because iirc by Marriott they do and there one and the same.

I would avoid SW because they probably give chase more than level one data.
Your better off doing a JetBlue or delta pggm.

Because it was suggested earlier on DDF that united gives level 3 data because of their partnership with chase. Idk if true or not. But SW is also a partner with chase.

As for the second part of your post-
Seems your a real chasid.
I was wrong that he never mentioned the Marriott card.
Here's you're rebbe lying:
His quote from earlier today:Like I said, I don't follow the Marriott program at all and I write about what I know.
Does 140K Marriott really become 70K UA?
Seems like he has plenty knowledge marriott and ritz and he even says he plans on checking them out in the comments.
