Ritz-Carlton Rewards Visa Infinite (closed to new applications)
All card offers are dead as of 7/26/18.
Information still available on the Chase SITE.
The previous version of this card was discussed HERE.
(Expired) New Card Bonus ($4,000 spending): Two free night certificates good at any Ritz Carlton (Marriott) properties up to 60,000 points (possible to book any SPG properties later)
(old: at any tier 1-4 Ritz Carlton Hotel after $4k spend).
current offer (dead): https://creditcards.chase.com/a1/rit...n/naepredirect
Things qualifying/not qualifying under $300 annual travel credit
one member wrote: AA is now showing gift cards as "giftcard" rather than general purchase if the csr looks closely. Last year it worked for me, yesterday it did not and csr told me that's why. However, later the same day I also requested the credit by Secure Message (for "baggage fees) and it was approved. Very YMMV now but still doable. 2/10/2017
Southwest Airlines GCs work fairly easily. I've generally bought them for $150 and said they're excess baggage fees.

Any experience whether Chase reverses the travel credit when you have an airline incidental refunded by the airline? Paid for a $200 F upgrade on delta and had it reimbursed by chase using my credit. Cancelled flight and getting a refund. What will happen now? If Chase reverses the credit can I reuse it later?

given very limited ability to travel are agents more receptive to reimbursing GC?

Does anyone have experience cancelling a Delta flight that was booked through the Visa Infinite Air Discount website?
I'd love to get a refund by contacting Delta; but, I suspect I have to call 877-408-5537 and try. Travel isn't for 30 days.
Delta has issued massive schedule and routing changes.

Unfortunately, I'm not feeling too positive about my requests for cancellation given the automatic reply they provided:

Thank you for your email. Because of the situation we're all going through, our support team has been inundated with requests and frankly we're not able to keep up. We normally aim to respond to emails within an hour but we're nowhere near that now. For that, we're really sorry. To make sure we get to everyone, we are prioritizing requests for March travel first, then April, then the rest of the year. This is a difficult time and we thank you for your patience and understanding.Please be sure to include your 10-digit booking number with your travel request. Example: 1960752962 or 2021993618.
If you have an 8 digit booking number that looks like this Booking 65271937. You have booked with CheapOair and have to reach out to them. Here is the web page they are providing for support. https://www.cheapoair.com/flights/coronavirus-alert
While you wait to hear back from us, feel free to read this blog post which provides some general information on canceling flights due to the coronavirus.

ways to use travel credit
My annual fee is coming up but I think I'm going to cancel because I just can't justify keeping the card with no travel on my horizon and a $450 fee. I feel bad because I thought I would have this card for awhile as it has great perks, but the fee is just too high to end up with a free night for the next year.
My question is, how do I use the travel credit for the year before cancelling? I'm not flying or doing any sort of travel for the foreseeable future and I know gift cards won't work so any ideas would be appreciated.

I received an email from Chase this morning stating that the 6x on groceries applies to the Ritz card as well.
You will earn a total of 6 points for each $1 spent on up to $5,000 in total purchases made in the grocery store category from 5/1/20 to 7/31/20. For Marriott Bonvoy Boundless™, Marriott Bonvoy™ Premier Plus Business, and The Ritz- Carlton™ Credit Cardmembers that's 4 points on top of the 2 points you already earn on grocery purchases with your card. For Marriott Bonvoy Bold™, Marriott Bonvoy™, Marriott Bonvoy™ Premier, and Marriott Bonvoy Business™ Credit Cardmembers that's 5 points on top of the 1 point you already earn on grocery purchases with your card.
