Ritz-Carlton credit card new benefit: annual free night award to cover 50K points?
I seem have not seen this information directly from website of Marriott or Chase. But some blogs are saying this. Is it true?

I don't know if this rumor is true?
However, if it is:
1. 50K for a RC property will limit your choice of location; certainly no aspirational properties.
2. Booking a RC with points/free night, negates the use of an upgrade certificate to Club Level; must be a qualifying paid rate.

I'm sure it probably matches what the bloggers posted, but would you be able to post a picture of the document pertaining to the perk changes like the free night?

By the way, does anyone know if I can use my $300 travel credit toward the United Club annual fee of $550? Or better yet, if I can apply the $300 travel credit toward the United Club Chase credit card's annual $450 fee?

Obviously you cannot use it toward paying off another card's annual fee. But yes, you can use it for an annual lounge membership like a United Club membership.

Current terms (today), you get Platinum status (there is only one Platinum level today). The new/upcoming terms, there are two Platinum levels; shouldn't RC Visa get higher Platinum level? Current terms, RC Visa is given top level for $75K spend.
