Click Here to get more details on this card and compare to other cards!

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.)

For 2017 credit, charge needs to post in 2017, Cmiiw ?
That's correct. It goes by transaction year.

I wanted to ask that. So for the $300 CR, it will count  for purchase starting Jan 1 2017 only right?

I guess I can still do the refundable SW flight or jetblue for the credit? I wanted to book car rental today for use in Jan 2017 so if I use the card today to book, I won't be charged until the pick up date in Jan and I can then get  travel credit?

I read the wiki and I see that seat upgrades work - the $$$ question is do they claw the issued credit back when the refundable ticket + upgrade is cancelled?

No clear answer required, just a vague hint of a nod should be enough for me.  ;)
