Ritz Chase Card (Getting the 140k points)

[ddemari]

I was approved in January and asked chase to match the offer from December2014. I sm'ed them in February and they said no problem.

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.

I think i will app and use the 2 certificate for a 4 night at ritz cancun. Any1 know if i can use the club level upgrade on paid stay not using ritz card? I plan on paying for another room with citi prestige to get 4th night free, and upgrade to club for my parent?

I applied Feb 1st with the 140k offer. It ended either the 7th or 8th of February.

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)
