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.)

do they allow free night reservations to be changed and how about if I want to rebook once the certificate has already expired?

30 days from AF posting.

so if AF posted on the 1st of the month, do i have until the 30th or the 31st to cancel and get full fee back?
if not cancelled in time, can the ritz card be downgraded to some no fee version to get prorated fee back?

You can switch the name on the reservation or you have to add a 2nd guest?

if it is a tier hotel it is hit or miss. try doing it online and see if you can get it to work. some people have reported success others said it did not.

Thanks! Is there any "trick" to get it to work? Does it go by hotel?

I wont to use my free night with this card ? It on my brother name they said only the card holder can use the free night is that true ?

I just made reservation for my wife and told them that the cardholder will be there the 2nd night will it work ?
Add the person staying as a guest and tell them he/she is coming first. No need for account holder to show up.

They aren't called Marriott edition & they are officially part of the ritz family. What should be the problem?

If you can prove to them that your ticket cost was an incidental fee, it can work.
