Just an FYI datapoint for those who are considering this card, wanted to share my very recent experience.
I applied last Friday and got approved. I have a Chase Marriott card as well, and that didn't seem to hinder anything along the way. On the Ritz app, I put in my Marriott Elite number and the day after I was approved for it, my Marriott Elite account upgraded to Gold and the 3 club level certs for RC stays were in my account. I also called Chase via the phone app number and requested expedited shipment of the card, since I need to make some bookings. Agent confirmed they will be sending it UPS and should be here in two business days.
My only big regret is that I totally missed the megapoints bonus, but am happy to get Gold status as I have some RC and Marriott stays coming up.

I see that many people are requesting reimbursement for gift cards. What are you all actually saying when they ask what the expense was? Are you just saying it was for a gift card and getting the reimbursement? How is everyone wording it in order to get the reimbursement?
On another note "$300 annual travel credit": since this is annual, can I assume I will get another $300 on January 1, or is this just annually starting again on the anniversary of my card when I pay the annual fee again?

Download the Lounge Club app and it is super easy/streamlined to tell you if there's a lounge where you're going. If you're traveling internationally, most major airports have one.

& Yes, Jan 1 you get another $300 credit to burn up for the year... Plan wisely!

Disagree on the lounge club card being crap. It's saved me money. TIP:

Message in saying you had a $xx charge from AA on your card and you wanted it reimbursed by your Ritz travel credit. Within 2 days get a response, within a week get the credit. I've never used it for gift cards but I assume it would be the same thing. On the phone I've been asked what it was for. Twice when saying "Award fee taxes for my seat" I've been approved no questions, and one time they said they couldn't approve that. Messaged, insta approved.

Sorry for the newbie question but I just got this card. To clarify, I have $300 credit now (even before I meet minimum spend), and on Jan 1, I will get another $300? Translation: I have from now till Dec 31 to spend this year's $300 credit? (I know, potentially a great problem to have, LOL)... 

Then that amount will reset next year.

Does Ritz Carlton Travel Credit/Refund (for like Baggage Fee) Count Against your minimum spend requirement ($2000) to get the signup bonus?
Also will they give you thing credit/refund for low cost international airlines (like AirAsia in Thailand)? Thanks.

I was declined for taxes on an award ticket. Customer service stated that taxes on an award ticket can not be reimbursed. They said only non ticket related items can be reimbursed.

Like I have stated a few times, they get Level three data for United. Some may be lucky, some folks may get a CSR that could care less, but simply put UAL award tickets and stuff is YMMV! AA, AS, and others have been far easier to work out.

I was always under the impression award ticket taxes were covered, so I called and said that's what the charge was when I was looking to get them reimbursed. CSR said no. Then she checked with supervisor who said yes, and they were reimbursed. I thought award taxes/fees specifically WERE covered.
My experience was about 3-4 months ago, if it matters.

Just got rejected for reimbursing an AA award fee yesterday and today.
Tried both SM and phone.
So disappointed.
