Ritz Chase Card (Getting the 140k points)

Kenro — Tue, 24 Mar 2015 20:06:45 GMT

It seems I missed all the good offers for the card in Dec of 2014...

You think theres any chance Chase will change the current offer on the card?

I`d get it in a hearbeat if the 140 000 point promotion was still on.

Update: 03/24

- Got the Ritz Approved

- Rep through secure message told me that the 140 000 is still on.

- 3 cards requsted, all arrived in metal.

Hello,

I have been told by a Chase Representative that once I am
approved for Chase Ritz Carlton card, I can request for my
initial offer to be changed to the 140 000 bonus points,
given that I spend 3 000$ on the card within 3 months.

Can you please do this for me?

Thank you very much!

Do you have a current Chase card? If so, you might try and send an SM to them. I doubt they will as the offer is almost past 3 months but it's worth a shot.

Problem is that you are rather limited with those 2 nights... I`d prefer to redeem points at Marriot for more nights at less expensive hotels.

if you do not stay at Ritz much,it would not worth the annual fee of 395,which appear on 1st statement!

Kenro — Mon, 09 Mar 2015 19:03:58 GMT

I have checking and 2 CC with them... Just sent them a message regarding this.

Re: Ritz Chase Card

Kenro — Mon, 09 Mar 2015 19:06:27 GMT

I travel a lot, 300$ in carrier fees would be used up really quick. Thats at worst 95$ left.

Now when you consider

- 1st year 600 rather than 300 credit

- 140k points are worth a lot especially if you redeem at marriot hotels at around 20k per night stay.

- Lounge Pass not a shabby add on.

Highly doubtful they would honor the SM request. There's a reason some marketing campaigns expire at some point. However, it's plausible it will resurface again before year-end.

My orginal offer was sign up and spend 2k in 90 days to receive a free night stay. I asked about the 140k point signup for spending 3k in 90 days. The basucally said, after I completed the one I wanted. To call them up and have them process the reward I'd like.

While there are no assurances, the Ritz 140K offer seems to run once per year. Unless you're in a rush and need it for an imminent stay, I'd wait for the better offer.

I just sent them a SM and hoping for the best. I signed up during the worst offer for one free night after 2k spend. Its not horrible cause the night I will use it at the downtown LA ritz, its about a $650 reward, but the points sure would be better. haha

By the time you pay AF, It's worth about ~$200.

I also definitely prefer the points. At the average Marriott I can stay 9-14 times using the points.

Gotta pay for the room with the ritz card, but I see no reason you cant sneak the people from the second room up there with you to the club. (Depending on how many of you there are)
