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.)

Thanks again Emkay! I saw a few people mention "90 days" so I was thinking maybe Chase had some kind of 90-day matching policy... Do you know about this?

I saw a blog post update on 02/11/2015 saying the 140k offer had expired so I was concerned about not getting the match... Not sure what to do right now.

If you apply now for the 2 night offer chase "probably" will match you to the 140k offer (as there have been no reports of denial)
They always (afaik) match Marriott,  70k for $2k and 80k for $3k.
If the offer goes back to 140k then as per chase official policy they "will" match you to 140k.
I hope that's not confusing.

Thanks. I had seen your post, but that was about a week ago and things might change. Since now it might be over 90 days since the 140k offer expired.

Has anyone gotten the 140k offer matched or denied in the last few days? Would love some fresh data points.

They are talking about this clueless (in this area) poster:
I believe it can go either way.

My post explained that there is NO difference of 90 days!
Some made up misunderstood post!

Does anyone know if it's possible to get an offer match from Chase before actually receiving/activating the card? I'd like to request the match as soon as possible, but think I'll be told there's nothing they can do if I haven't activated the card yet.

Once it shows up online you can SM to match.

First of all this card comes activated anyways you can ask to match as soon as it appears online.

Gotcha, thanks! Maybe I'll try to see if they can expedite the shipping to see if it shows up online sooner. Any data points on how long it takes to show up online (with/without expediting it)?

Shipping has nothing to do with when it will show up online.

True. But once it appears in your account, you can call them to have them expedite the shipping.

Mmm... I figured expediting the card would help. The fast shipping itself shouldn't, but if faster shipping also gets you faster processing -> card showing up online faster then it would help.

I see. Hope it shows up online soon and hope the all-metal version of the card is back. I read it had disappeared for a while.
