This will mirror the Ritz Carlton J.P. Morgan card's existing $100 RC credit, though that card is also going to have St. Regis added as an option too starting in April 2019.
One note: The $100 RC credit for the Ritz Carlton J.P. Morgan card ALWAYS requires bookings be made with fare code "Z34", so I imagine there be a similar requirement for this card.

From what I can see this rate does not work on basic room at a RC in Chengdu or Bangkok but to the next category which makes it a bit more expensive imho.

I do not think it will work on resort fees per the Rate Details at 2 different RCs that I looked into.
Rate Details:
The Ritz-Carlton Rewards Credit Card 100 (USD) Credit
-Guest must stay at least 2 nights and pay the retail rate in
order to receive the 100 (USD) credit
-The credit can only be used on Dining, Spa Services, or other
on-property recreational activities (hotel services i.e. golf
or watersports, managed by the property - not a third party)
-Credit must be used during the original reservation and is not
valid on consecutive reservations in the same hotel
-The credit cannot be applied toward the room rate and is not
valid on alcohol, taxes, gratuities or any hotel service
provided by a third party
-There will be no refund issued on any un-used portion of the
credit. It is non-transferable and cannot be combined with any
other offer or promotion. It does not apply to packages,
discounts, negotiated or group rates, STARS, FHR/Centurion,
Virtuoso, Signature or Ritz-Carlton Club Members and Resident

It doesn't seem promising so far unless someone else is paying for the room.
