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.)

Do you know anyone that did this?
I did it twice a few weeks ago
I like booking right after midnight (morning in israel)
That way you have almost 2 days to cancel it as chase usually won't give you the $300 credit until the EC charge posts.

Did the EC post in Chase before you cancelled the ticket? It usually pends for a few days before a purchase posts.

The EC usually posts the next day or the day after that.
Also when you cancel it's not instant. It may even post after you cancel.

Thanks for the info. Let me get this clear, book the ticket with upgrade to EC at the morning, cancel it before the end of next day. Once the purchase posts, call chase for Rebursement. The call should happen before refund for ticket posts.  Is this correct procedure? When the ticket is cancelled, the refund will be listed as pending, I am afraid Chase will see it when I call. How do you guys do it?

What is wrong with you guys?! Why would you risk making a non-refundable ticket? Refundable is easier and safer.

I'm not sure if it showed as posted online but when my friend called Chase they said it was posted on their end so they can refund him.

Okay, so after reading through this thread I'm finally confused...

For the $300 credit, should i do Delta nonrefundable or Jet Blue refundable?

I had them refund a regular delta flight, ba taxes and ua taxes.
