from the previous few pages, I saw a lot of different views on the 300 credit statement. Does anyone who recently apply can provide any experience here?
I am tempting to apply the card myself but would like to know that for sure before I bite the bullet.
Thanks!

Yes, you have to request the credit. But, can do it as soon as it posts. No, need to wait for statement to close. And you can request via SM.

I applied online and was approved immediately. I primarily got this card because I want the points in Marriott.
Some quick questions:
1) I put my Marriott Rewards number in the field for Ritz Carlton number on the application. Is this ok?
2) I'll probably buy a southwest airlines egiftcard for $300 the moment I get the card to try to get it done in 2014. Does that sound like a good strategy? I will also get another one for $300 in Jan 2015 after I get reimbursed for the first one.
3) Is there any way to get the $395 annual fee waived? For example, with the Citibank 100k mile promotion earlier this year, it was possible to get it waived if you complete your full spend ($10k in that case) within a month and cancel your card.
Thanks!

Or does this from the terms:
This new cardmember bonus offer is not available to either (i) current cardmembers of this consumer credit card, or (ii) previous cardmembers of this consumer credit card who received a new cardmember bonus for this consumer credit card within the last 24 months."
only relate to prior Ritz Carlton Card holders?
Earlier pages in this thread seemed to indicate you couldn't apply if you were a current <24mo holder of a Chase Marriott card.
Thanks for clarifying.

They are different products, so yes, you can collect on them both.

2) They won't credit you for a $300 charge without a receipt. They required one on a $300 upgrade fee on Delta. Better to do a bunch of $50 charges.
3) Ignoring that you want 140k points and $600 for free...No, there is not.

Also worth that my (limited) experience is that the reps are looking for ways to help, as long as you're not squarely violating the t&cs. If you're planning to use the GCs to cover eligible charges, you might be able to get them reimbursed if you explain that.

1) Yes. Odds are slim you'll get it before end of year. Takes longer when they have to convert the Marriott accounts (at least did with mine). Mine was Marriott and took 10-12 days to get. My wife's was a RC account and took about 5.

Regarding #3, I know it's greedy but thought I'd ask.
If you got in on the Citibank AA 100k mile deal earlier this year it was $200 + 100k AA miles free so it's not necessarily unheard of but you did have to spend $10k in a month...

I was in on several apps. I paid the AF on them all. Just because you can doesn't mean you should.
