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.)

No and they all get redeposited into one account. Simple.

Correct. That's how you get yours and your wife's points into one account.

The offer may have expired today. Also, why AA gift cards?

thats how you take advantage of the $300 credit and to offset the $395 fee.

i don't have flights or hotel stay that costs $395 or even half of it and not in tax either. so things like GCs are like my only option!

Do you know what pggm is? Do you have ethical problems with it? Do you mind canceling the card after 5 months?

I'm sure you can cancel the hotel stay but you'll probably get it back as a 7 day voucher not points.

You'll get back the voucher. If you cancel your reservation after it expires, you'll be left with nothing

After the approval of this card, you get gold status right away on your Marriot Account?
I have marriot account number and entered it in the APP. Approved yesterday & so far the status is still ZERO. Is it free breakfast for 2 at any marriot  properties like courty yard , residence inn & lounge access  etc?
