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.)

Takes anyone days unless you requested it to be expedited which will still take a coupe days if you don't have a current Ritz account.  The lounge pass Comes a few days later and I doubt they can expedite that but you can call

I applied for DW on motzai shabbos and got it today. Did not get anything besides the card in a "fancy" box. No LC pass yet. My guess is that you have to register for it online just like you do with the Amex Plat with PP.

Got my card today. Thought I received a laptop first. 2 days ago, I booked an award flight with united & paid the $260 tax in my Barclay arrival card. Can I call United to cancel that charge and ask them to charge this Ritz card so I get the $260 credited back  from the $300 annual travel credit?

Or I should just buy a $300 AA giftcard on AA.com with this card & than call Chase for the $300 back?

Where do you sell the $300 AA GC and how much you get?

Thanks

i don't know

not that simple. check wiki. they may not want to give you credit because gift cards are not covered.

Where do you sell the $300 AA GC and how much you get?
On DDF,  search for the thread.
Thanks

You mean book a refundable flight with JET BLUE with this card. Ask Chase for the $300 credit and once posted, call jetblue to cancel for refund?
Couldn't find definition of PGGM ! :(

what do you suggest I do to get the $300 credit? Heared AA gc purchase credit can be a hit or miss.

By searching the letters PGGM you should find a definition.   That would be your best option

Did find it. Says something like book delta refundable flight on delta.com and than cancel for refund? And get $300 travel credit?

Will the following trick work?

Book it today for a flight costing $300 or more for travel date in Aug, call Chase in March 1 for $300 credit and once credit is posted, call delta to cancel without penalty for full refund? Will that work?

I loaded $2k on Redbird , had  to call chase for 2nd load and during that the rep said the spend req is $3K. Thought it was $2k and I was done ??? You get the bonus points  after 1st statement closing?

Kind of.
You can book a delta non refundable ticket, upgrade to EC, and cancel before the next day is over. For example book it at 8am on Monday morning, and you can still cancel it Tuesday at 11:59 pm
