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 the points/free-nights expire?

Edit: Just got approved for this offer. https://creditcards.chase.com/credit-cards/ritz-carlton-card.aspx

Will report back if I can get it matched up.

Any luck?

Just Purchased a Refundable Jet Blue Ticket.

1) Is it really 100% Refundable?

2) Will the Charge of the seat show (after the pending charge goes away) seperetly of the Ticket purchase?

3) Is there a way of Upgrading AFTER i already bought the ticket? 

4) If i cancel right away will i be able to get the credit (PGGM style)?
TIA!

I booked a fully refundable Jet Blue flight, with $310 worth of seat upgrades. I called up this afternoon, and my $300 travel credit has already been posted to my account. I am going to wait I think a week to cancel the tickets. It looks like it will be very straightforward to cancel, I just don't want to raise any flags on my Chase end. I think other people have been successful when they cancelled right away.

If your really impatient you can call then a little earlier since it posts in their system before it's updated by you

1st one after the card was generated. Got an answer within an hour. Others haven't been so lucky though. Keep on trying, they can do it.
