i haven't seen any images online, just read about the better bonus offer after I had gotten my Ritz card. I didn't ask for bonus matching for the Ritz because I didn't receive the targeted offer. i had switched my rewards account to Marriott a while ago so I only receive emails from Marriott and who knows, I may not have been their target market. Plus, I had received the additional points for Marriott and CSP and had alrealy had received bonus sign up points for the Marriott and later the Ritz card so I was more than okay with the amount of points I had already received.
The other thing you can try is to have your wife open a rewards account as well. My husband has his own Marriott Rewards account and I notice that he gets different offers for credit card bonuses as well as hotel promotions on his online account.
You can always just secure message them and maybe they won't ask for proof. It never hurts to try. Like I said previously, they didn't ask for any proof for the Marriott, just the CSP. Their wording for request of copies of the offer was "we couldn't locate the 50,000 point offer so please send..." and that may have been because the better CSP offer was for Private Clients.
Maybe others can give pointers based on their experiences?
