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.)

It looks like it depends if the card was used
Correct they have actually told me that in the past. They see if there was activity on the card.

Sent an sm to ask for airline credit for baggage charges and they asked for proof, that it was an incidental from the airline and nothing else. Never had that before, luckily most were delta, so it comes up as Delta Baggage Fee. They ended up honoring all charges in the end, I just found it weird that they asked for it.

Have had great experience calling to ask for any airline related fee, including actual tickets and gift cards, to be waived.

my experience with the travel credit was that with jetblue, they gave it even for a ticket that coded as a ticket, and air canada, also didn't have a problem with getting it for tickets.
any recent data points with recon for this though?

Anyone looking to sell a Priority Pass membership? All you need need to do is add me as an AU, then destroy the cc and send me the PP card. Unless rules recently changed, it should be free for you, so it’s easy money.

Pretty sure its annually. Unlike chase sapphire reserve which depends upon when your card member anniversary is. (For grandfathered in CSR cardholders the travel credit renews annually)

as far as i understand, the anniversary night on the ritz card is for 50k and my old 1-4 cert became a 60k award.
when i cancel my card, do i lose any of these?  the anniversary night was just awarded
