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.)

For those of you that have the companion pass, it can be matched to Alaskan MVP 75k.
From there it can be matched to other airlines as well. Pretty awesome to get top tier status without any paid flights or BIS miles!
Let's keep this low.

you are stuck with AA GCs to get the credit? if you don't have anything to pay for flight ticket?  How much are you getting for the $300 AA GC?
I want to make sure I can do something to offset the high $395 AF  before I apply for this card

Reason to suspect it's different then regular Chase cards?

Close within 6 month and they will refund the AF

A little bit harsh.....
U can close the RC card and just open it 30 days later without changing the FFN?

The point is with Chase if you get approved you get the bonus. Now depending on the type of card you may need to change the FFN but the point is the same and I would've worded it as well like EmKay.
