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.)

Is the travel credit per calender year or goes by annual fee?
Per calendar year.

Not if you cancel but you have 60 days to downgrade.

Can they be downgraded to any chase card? such as freedom?

The Ritz can't be downgraded, only within the same family.

If I get the travel credit and then get a refund from the carrier, does Chase take the credit back? How about if it's a month or two later?

Someone mentioned up-thread that you can't downgrade the Ritz card but in general you have 60 days to downgrade and get a full refund.

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

I just got this card again and it’s so annoying they won’t match to three nights..
What have people been doing recently for the credit? JB pet?
