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.)

These days you get it back within 6 months. That's more than enough time to do spend and get the certificate posted.
do they cancel the certificate if close the card and get the AF refunded ?

Just did a JetBlue PGGM and the rep told me that JetBlue recently started coding seat upgrades as seat upgrades instead of tickets. Do presumablely booking a ticket and saying its a seat uograde won't work anymore.

To be clear JetBlue PGGM is still alive and well.

Made a mistake. Closed my RC card as second AF hit. Already got $600 of reimbursements for just one AF.  But...didn't realize I had 180 days to cancel and get AF back. Could have gotten another $300 of reimbursements. Just an FYI for those of you who may not know about the 180 day policy for this card.
If you're in the financing or e-commerce business, and need capital to grow, we should talk...

Did you try reopen the card? it may just require a soft pull, if in a certain time frame.

Also don't forget to get double points by booking refundable airline ticket then cancel before you close the account.
Why yes, I am a point/mile whore!

Won't work at all. Works with Amex because 1) Amex codes MPX as airline, while Visa and MC don't  (according to reports) and 2) the credit isn't applied automatically- you have to call in or SM to get it applied

Any other suggestions other then ordering ticket an canceling (don't feel comfortable). Do AA gift card work?

Yes.
Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.
