I like the logic of getting x5 multiplier paying with secondary user's card.

It's Ritz Carlton card/account: MR and RCR are marketed separately; Chase has so many affiliate cards that everybody here on FT seems to have had at least a few Chase accounts.
Also, to answer your question about RCR Gold applying to M stays - yes, it does as per conditions of MR and also from my experience getting free internet, room upgrades and some (not really SPG late) checkout for MR status at RC. Although sometimes you need to remind the front desk about Gold status because they seem agnostic to the fact that now they have their frequent stay program at Ritz Carlton and with that "elite benefits". But I am sure they will become more used to that if Chase Visa is successful.
