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.)

is there a $100 credit you can use for hotel stay? Book any hotel stay costing at least $100, call chase and ask for the $100 credit?

any examples of how to take advantage of it?

If I use my hyatt or hilton points to stay  2 nights or more at hyatt or hilton hotel anywhere, I order meals /foods/drinks using my ritz card, I get a bill of $110. Can I call Chase to get the $100 credit?

Thanks
UPDATE"
You said in their chain? Meaning Ritz carlton hotel or ritz & marriot both? Use points to stay 2 nights or more , eat meals worth $100 or more with Ritz card and get $100 back?

To clarify -- if I'm staying at a ritz using all points for a 5 night stay, can I use the $300 credit towards food/drinks/spa charges at hotel?

I'm afraid you got a little confused between 2 benefits

The $300 credit is for airline related charges.  The $100 credit is for food/spa but only on paid stays.

Hope this works smoothly :) Just booked $3400 worth of refundable flights to Miami, with $310 worth of seat upgrades. I just sent a message via the Secure Message Center. Is that enough, or do I have to call it in? I hope the refund posts quickly (even though the charge is still pending).

I think I may have messed up. I booked the flight and the upgrades both on the ritz CC. For this to work, did I have to do this on 2 separate cards?

Sorry to drive everyone crazy, but I just want to make sure I did it correctly before I called in (as I mentioned before, I had tried this with the gift cards and it never ended up working.)

I booked 2 refundable tickets on jetblue for $3400, and chose the seat upgrade options that were available for me, all within the same booking. I had a total of $310 of upgrades. Is that the right thing to do? Or did the upgrade have to be a separate charge? Not sure I understand how I'll get a refund that I'll be able to keep if I end up cancelling the entire charge.

Thanks!
