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.)

has anyone tried to buy SWA gift cards for use to the $300 annual travel credit.  Read that the AMEX Plat seems to give credit for under $100 gift cards but haven't read anything about the Ritz card.  Thanks in advance. Happy New Year.

What's the best ongoing way to cash out the airline credit?
Refundables?

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

Don't you need to make a purchase with the authorized user?

No. U need to make a purchase after u add the AU. On an online purchase, chase has no way of knowing which card was used (as the numbers are identical), therefore they just give it to u after the first purchase by any user

Not red cents but they may ask you for black cents.

i thought the priority pass free guest access only was available to authorized users on the ritz card? or is that only for the reserve?

i called ritz CS before asking for details on the number of free guests allowed under their PP plan, but couldn't get a clear answer.
