Just curious what's everyone's experience applying for this recently with over 5/24? Was anyone successful getting this even over 5/24. Thanks for any tips and help!

I suspect that may not remain the case long-term so I've been debating whether I'd rather pick up this card or the Fairmont while both are still options. Return of the 140,000 point offer would seal the deal, but I'm not holding my breath on that one...

I actually applied for this today and was approved. I'm well over 5/24, didn't apply in branch or anything. Looks like it's not yet falling under the 5/24 rule then.

SM'ed about Priority Pass changeover date.
They replied saying they have no plans to change from Lounge Club to Priority Pass. So, the phone rep was wrong, I guess.
One funny thing was I mentioned their two main competitors- Amex Platinum and Citi Prestige making the switch. When they quoted my reply both were replaced with xxx. Maybe it's like the swear filter at some discussion boards.

Has anyone tried to travel reimbursement for AA gift cards recently? I have done it beginning of the year and was successful, but now seeing it on top (Wiki) that it isn't reimbursed. Any recent data points?

As recently as January, small purchases of, ahem, seat upgrades were still coding generically.
Since at least April, they seem to be coding as Gift Cards.
This raises the degree of difficulty when speaking to folks at Chase Visa RC

Has anyone tried using the MileagePlus X app? I know it works for the Amex Platinum reimbursement.

Ritz reimb isn't automated like Amex. The CSR reimburses you after reviewing the charge. Also, while Amex posts MPX purchases as coming from United visa and mastercard post it as per the underlying merchant category. (Panera GCs trigger dining bonus for both freedom and citi prestige)

Has anyone successfully reimbursed for mileage purchases?

Buy a ticket (another cc)
Upgrade etc. using the Ritz card
Inside 24h cancel the flight (both amounts are being processed for refund )
Once the upgrade posts (before the refund) call the CSR and ask for reimbursement
> done
