Ritz-Carlton Rewards card

The new VISA Infinite version is discussed HERE.
In August 2016 Chase refreshed this card.
This thread is a continuation of discussion archived here:
http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/chase...idated-71.html

Best public available offer:
Two free nights at any tier 1-4 Ritz Carlton Hotel after $4k spent. Annual fee of $450 NOT waived.
https://creditcards.chase.com/a1/rit...n/naepredirect

Three free nights at any tier 1-4 Ritz Carlton Hotel after $5k spent. Annual fee of $450 NOT waived.
NO LONGER AVAILABLE
https://creditcards.chase.com/a1/ritzcarlton/aep3CN
I edited link and replaced "2CN" with "3CN" and now it shows offer of 3 free nights, $450 AF and $5K spend.

$300 Annual Travel Credit
"Make the most of your trip with a $300 annual travel credit to use for baggage fees, Global Entry fees, seat upgrades, access to your preferred airport lounge and more. Simply use your card for these expenses and call us at 1-855-896-2222, and we will refund the charges after your flight."

Actual T&C language, as of 08.22.15:"Only the following types of non-ticket Net Purchases qualify for this offer: airline lounge day pass, or towards a yearly lounge membership of your choice; airline seat upgrades; airline baggage fees; in-flight internet/entertainment; in-flight meals; Global Entry fees."

As of 1/2/2015, Credit for these charges are based on TRANSACTION (purchase) date, not posting date. If you made an eligible purchase before the end of the year, even if it doesn't post until the following year, you can still receive credit for the previous year. See post #1268

DO NOT attempt to get all $300 in one transaction. Most CSRs will question what incidental charge would be so high. Instead, get multiple smaller gift cards which line up with fees that airline charges. Make sure that whatever amounts you choose, you have an explanation ready for each. For example, AA overweight baggage fee is $150. $50 is first checked bag for 2 ppl. $75 is in the range of upgrade fees, etc.


Please start a list of what charges have and have not been reimbursed.

Reimbursed:
F9 Award Fees $33.60
Admirals Lounge Meal $26
B6 Flight $96.20 x 2
Volaris Flight $82 x 4 (reimbursed for $300)
WN gift card $25
Seat upgrade to first- it was a bit of a challenge because they showed up as new tickets. I offered to have them look at another Chase card that had the original tickets, but the agent admitted, "$2xx.xx seems low for a round trip on United," and processed the refund.
Reimbursed for the $200 reactivation fee for expired AAdvantage miles. Oops... I mean I got reimbursed for $200 in AA seat upgrade fees
AY bag fees. Paid to AY in EUR, reimbursed in USD at amount shown on stmt.
AA seat upgrade fees. NOTE: these were oddball amounts, not even numbers.

Not Reimbursed:
AA Gift Cards

Wait, they clawed back a year-old retention offer? Wow.

Hi- I received Platinum Status by spending $75K in 2015. Marriott shows the Platinum Status till January 2017

If the Card is canceled in 2016, do we lose the Platinum Status?

Thanks for the help.

Who did you call. I called JPM Priority services (my fee posted 1/1/16) and they basically told me to F off when I asked if there were any offers available. Called again today and got a much more polite rep who still told me there were no offers available.

I assume you mean gift card reimbursements since incidentals are incidentals.

I just bought a $200 gift card yesterday. I'll report back.

JPM customer service number on the card. I went in planning to cancel and was clear on that, not fishing for offers. Rep was cordial and walked me through card benefits and what he could do to keep me, including the free night offer and an offer to downgrade to Marriott card.

Is Chase known to claw-back the reimbursement if I were to utilize my $300 travel credit benefit and then cancel the card?

If you cancel the card after 4 months will Chase prorate the AF?

Nope. They refund up until 60 days after, but the prorated refund you refer to is done by Amex not Chase

Just called to get this reimbursed. Done with no questions asked. From dialing until hanging up, the total call time was less than 2 minutes.

AA gift card.

How long does it take for the Cat 1-4 certs to show up usually after you meet the spend requirement?

Ritz Card: $300 credit for status top up?
Hi folks,

Has anyone used or knows if I can use the Ritz card to pay for airline status buy-in? This is when you're within X miles of making the next tier and the airline lets you pay to retain status for the next year?

Mine hasn't posted yet but a rep said this ISN'T reimbursable, but regular seat upgrades would be.

Going to try my luck anyway. The amount is above the $300 so not a small fee that can slip under the approval radar.

Any feedback is appreciated.

Thanks
