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.)

Depends on the lounge. Check the website.

For instance, Wingtips lounge JFK says 6 guests max per cardholder:

but is it at least one? the lounges i checked dont say anything specific

"What is your policy for taking guests into a lounge?
You can invite friends or guests to join you in a lounge. Most lounges will allow any number of guests but where there are limits, details are shown in the lounge details if you search on this website. When you enter the lounge you will receive a voucher which you must check before signing. This will note if any guests are with you at the time and it is your responsibility to ensure this is correct. If applicable, the lounge visit fee for your visit and for any guests will be charged directly to your designated payment card."

For those bringing in guests. Just have the lounge swipe your LoungeClub card multiple times, and you won't be charged because you have unlimited access. However if the lounge swipes your LoungeClub card once and keys in the amount of people, then you will get charged if the lounge charges for guests.

They would agree to that?  Even though it's not in their name?

Last time I did it, they didn't even look at the name. Nor did they ask me for my boarding pass or ID to match the name.
