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.)

Close within 6 month and they will refund the AF
Just give marriot account number in the application?
 I would have applied for this months ago  if I was not too worried about the $395 fee and the idea of AA GC didn't sound convincing to me.

Will go for it today and I also checked Citi's pre selected offers and found a 50K thank you premier bonus for $3k spend in 3 months, will also go for that.

I just hope they don't deny me the bonus since I had this card almost 2 yrs ago.

called the RECON 5 mins ago

The rep told me "your app is handled by another dept but they are closed today & will open tomorrow at 8 am and number is 877 470 9042"

JUst googled this number and looks like its a number for Chase fraud dept & maybe  they have question about existing cards I think. Maybe it is that they wanted to know if the recent redbird load is  legit or not. just speculating myself

(Prob) nothing to be concerned about they might just need some proof items, maybe ID or so on, just keep us posted so we can help out.
Some even report that it's easier to get approved (higher CL) When fraud handles the app so good luck.

It's not fraud, it's just a different arm of Chase. The Ritz card is issued by J.P. Morgan, not Chase. Someone will correct me if I'm wrong.

I have had similar incident like this with Chase. It was 3 yrs ago, when I applied for Ink bold, I called RECON the guy told me I need to speak to someone else first and that agent where I was transferred to wanted to verify that it was me. Asked me to tell her  the amounts of charges on my other card and date and things like that. I logged on and told her everything and got approved.

Last month, when I called Chase for my wife's BA card for retention offer, the guy told me you have to talk to someone else first because there is a blockage or something on this card. I was transferred to Fraud dept or something and that agent asked me if I recognize the charges on this card. I said yes, than transferred back to the customer service agent.


BTW, I also applied for the City TY premier. got approved with 2 mins call to RECON. Transferred CL since I already have 6 Citi cards. 50K points after 3k spend. Had this card 2 yrs ago.

How is the odds of approval on this? Like any chase cards?

If I get approved tomorrow, I would like to apply for my wife for   140K points and we will have 280K marriot points we can use in future.

Even if you cancel the card, the points will still stay right?

I read somewhere about marriot holiday package with 280K, what does that mean?

i found  a little bit of doctorofcredit's post about this. it says if i have  120k marriot points or more, i can transfer for marriot points plus southwest airline miles or something?

Looks like a travel package voucher that has expiration date?
