Since the date periods are so different, I don't see Chase being able to match anything until the Q4 period.
Perhaps related to Amex and Chase purchasing tons of points from Marriott (and I think Hyatt):

I mean, it is interesting to see hotel stays get the bonus offer points for purchase - that felt missing before.
Just guessing, but perhaps the credit card issuers didn’t want to be perceived as encouraging/rewarding non-essential travel?
