Chase is launching a Ritz-Carlton branded credit card next week, which is geared towards high-end customers, especially since it has a $350 annual fee.The initial sign-up bonus is 50,000 points (which can be used for 1 free night at a tier 1-3 hotel, or on Marriott stays). Overall the benefits are decent – including club level upgrades, Gold status, no foreign transaction fees, Priority Pass Select, $100 in hotel credit and $200 in airline incidentals. Hmm, sure sounds similar to the American Express Platinum Card!
