140K point offer

140K point offer

Not for me it isn't.

I did see online that there were 3 offers floating around last year and one of them was that annual fee was waived for the first year.

I understand:
1) the vacation package includes a 7 night hotel stay.
2) if u cancel the hotel stay u will receive the refund in the form of a voucher for 7 consecutive nights.
3) the voucher expires after 1 year.
Correct?

Yes. But you need to wait for it to post until you can call Chase for the credit.

Though others have reported that it automatically hit their account.

Thought I read somewhere in the previous 61 pages that someone got it without calling. I may be wrong.

Your probably thinking of the post where someone applied for the 70k offer and got matched for 140k offer without calling.

fee posted about 3 weeks ago.  wonder if canceling now could risk losing my points?
this card is definitely not a good after for normal use.  and marriot recently severely devalued its points. marriot points never have been valuable

If the points are already in your Ritz account, they are safe and no risk in loosing them.

i hope so, i read many in FT saying before they canceled within 60 days to get $350 fee refund, they transferred points to southwest account  to give chase zero chance for successful clawback. Marriot recently devalued their points again and also made is almost impossible to extend the points expiration? They said you can no longer extend the points expiration date by points transfer from Chase?

My 140K points are in Marriot account. Maybe I should just transfer it  another program. I don't fly southwest so wonder where to transfer to.

did you cancel the card or keeping it?


I got good use of the lounge pass during my 2 weeks trip to asia, used it 3 times in seoul and singapore and narita. Narita  and singapore lounge was the worst. Narita  was pathetic, the Ambassdor lounge  barely had anything to eat .  and those were in korean too.

the one in seoul airport was fantastic! I am not traveling for 10 months so no use of lounge for me.

Its not clear, because when they say transfer they probably mean from one marriott account to another.

very clear that cc points will help extend.
shopping mall also works.

also you can buy 1k points for $12.50 worst case scenario.

you may even be able to extend by making a booking and then canceling it.

TLDR: its not so bad.

Any consensus on how long I should wait before churning?
