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.)

I already got $4500 and will get another $5000 of value from them.

One example of a good value

JW Marriott Shanghai 140,000 points gets your 17 nights and the gold status will get you an upgrade to a suite, $500x17=$9350.
in some far away  countries and villages to find  a decent value? i have looked and most i could find is 4 to 5 nights  at marriot properties.

I'm sure you can think of something.
it is confusing and hard to understand how this air & hotel package work with 140k marriot points. I think there is lot of restriction on using this deal.

Have to disagree I always use my Marriott/ritz points at a minimum redemption of 1 cpp, sometimes even way higher.

140k doesnt really do much as far as the air and travel package go, it really is great when you have over 300k points (spouse)

No surprise at all, totally sop. they are both the same program so just create one login and your good to go on both.

Will do. I know BofA often creates multiple Alaska accounts - that's why I was somewhat surprised.

Looks like another reason to get the RC
card next week

Now I need another Chase personal . Have Marriot , IHG , SP , Hyatt , 2 Freedoms and don't want
to give Anything but a freedom up at the moment .
Like that makes a difference according to the New Chase LOL

BA or UA

BA 24 Months are up June 6 and UA I can get the Biz card with original FF # which I intend to , but
I am sort of  reluctant to create fourth UA FF number , and apply using for personal using 2 Different numbers

Maybe BA is the obvious choice, but more difficult to get I have heard.

I just put this in a 3bm.. Got auto approved for IHG and Hyatt, this went to pending.

Hope they match to 140k easy :)
(Points are a plan B for Southwest CP - With the vacation package)

Who knows.
I had a similar story a few weeks ago, applied in the morning one after the other (for a friend) Mpe: approved instant Csp: approved instant Marriott: pending which went on to be denied.
Later at night I decided to throw in a Ritz-Carlton which went to pending and then approved without recon!

I think we might be onto something here this can be great if you can  plan a 2/3bm and throw in the ritz afterwards.....especially being that the value on the ritz card is so high (assuming you get matched of course)
