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

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.

Does anyone knows if I can extend my free night certificates for another year? I don't think I'll be able to use all 3 of them by august . I would like to at least extend one for another year.
if so, who do I call? Marriott or JPMorgan executive line?
thanks.

Hi everyone! I would like to gift global entry to a family of 3 and use 2 RC credits (and one from Amex Platinum). Can I use one GE credit, and $100 from $300 travel credit? Or would both come out of the $300 credit? Thanks!

There are multiple reports of chase cards with grandfathered AFs being notified that their AFs are going up to the current rates. United Club being one product ($395 --> $450)
Has anyone with the old $395 Ritz card been notified recently that their fee is going up?
Thanks

I just received a noice that my United Club card is being hiked from $395 to the rack rate of $450. I'm curious if anyone has gotten something similar for Ritz.
Thanks

AF not charged
Just applied and got approved for a whopping 32k credit line. Do I reduce my credit limit to $1500 via sm or call them directly for the AF not to post to my account?. or Do I have to wait until I receive the physical card?. Also saw some posts being successful in matching to the 3-night certificate, will try and post the results.
Thanks
