Update December 17th, 2017: Looks like they are no longer matching people to the three night offer. Bad news for those hoping to triple dip the travel credit. Datapoints of matching to three nights not working: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. If you’ve previously been promised a match and they are now refusing it I would recommend escalating to a supervisor. Hat tip to CaptainKpins on /r/churning
Update: Looks like the new offer never came.
At the moment the Chase Ritz-Carlton card offers two free nights at any Tier 1-4 Ritz-Carlton property when you spend $3,000 in the first three months after account opening. For some reason it seems like a lot of people are having success being matched to the same offer but offering three nights instead of two. Some datapoints: 1, 2, 3, 4
Interestingly Flyertalk user UserMark was told that on August 18th a public three night offer will be returning. Personally I’d wait until the 18th in the hopes that the free night offer returns, I was hoping for the 140,000 point offer to return but given Marriott’s acquisition of SPG I doubt we will see that offer again (would make the bonus worth 45,000+ SPG points and make it easier to get enough points to redeem for hotel + flights package). I haven’t been able to confirm with any of my normal sources that a three night offer is coming on the 18th, but fingers crossed.

can you downgrade this card to marriott?
I will pull the trigger and use if we see 140K again
Speed $3000 to get 2 FN or $4000?
It's $4,000
Which is really weird, because I've but $3080 on the card (~2 months in) and my free nights posted today. Can I get away with not putting another $1k on the card?
When was the last time this card offered points? I'd much rather have points than 2 or 3 nights at a tier 1-4 Ritz. Although I would happily take the nights if they could be used at any Ritz Carlton. Pretty much every decent Ritz Carlton resort is higher than a category 4.
Before the Starwood merger. I would love a 140k point offer but I don't see it happening when that would be 50k Starpoints with one bonus after the AU points.
Sorry but what does it mean by triple dip the travel credit? I have the card already but not sure if I missed something
If you applied and we’re approved in December, you can use the travel credit 3x on one annual fee. December 2017, January 2018, January 2019, then cancel.
Just got matched to 3 nights - approved for card end of Nov. and SM'd 12/5 asking for match.
Which category of SM did you select? I was denied by SM and by phone for matching
Anybody lucky getting matched for 3 nights recently? Was denied upon asking..
Is the 3N free link alive? New or Old? Can someone point it to me please?
Don't think there is a link and you need to match
Successful got matched 3 nights for 5k of spend, took a week but finally got it through SM
What is SM?
Secure message, available once you login to Chase web site.
DP: Just got matched to three night / 5K via SM.
Thanks for the DP
