I think this will head to court if Chase refuses to credit the $300 to airfare or hotel purchases.
You're overthinking it. If Chase intended this to only apply to travel incidental charges, they would have explicitly said so. For example, the Chase Ritz card only reimburses incidental charges and the fine print reads as follows:
"To request a statement credit to apply towards qualifying airline incidental purchase(s) made with your Ritz-Carlton Rewards Credit Card, you must contact J.P. Morgan Priority Services at the number on the back of your Ritz-Carlton Rewards Credit Card within 4 billing cycles of the purchase date. Only the following types of non-ticket purchases qualify for this offer: airline lounge day pass, or towards a yearly lounge membership of your choice; airline seat upgrades; airline baggage fees; in-flight Internet/entertainment; in-flight meals."
