50K, 75K or 100K offer https://creditcards.chase.com/a1/ba/nonaep?CELL=6H8X
Public link on Chase.com
https://creditcards.chase.com/credit...H0&list=4,2,1&
50,000 Avios after $2000 in purchases within the first 3 months
25,000 Avios after an additional $8000 in purchases within the first year
25,000 Avios after an additional $10000 in purchases within the first year
(Thus, a total of $20000 spend for 100,000 Avios)
Annual fee $95 NOT waived
Card earns 1 Avios/$ on everyday spend
Warning: Avios do not work like other types of miles and points
The British Airways system is distance based, priced per segment, with very high fees and fuel surcharges possible, depending on the airline flown. In particular, redemptions for British Airways flights are often the worst value. Therefore, one of the most popular uses of points is for short-haul flights on partner airlines.
Make sure you understand the program thoroughly before you apply for this card, as whining may be considered off-topic. Most questions and advice have already been given within this thread.

I applied last week and today went signing into my chase.com and found $2000 limit British Airway.
I am just thinking that I will be a tough one to get to $20k or $30k annually with 2k limits...
I think i know why they gave me such low limit since i am carrying 14k balance in their slate credit card (0% for 15 months, 1% BT fee), but all my cards limit are in the higher 5k, except for my oldest HSBC 2% credit card ($950 limit and cant go much higher).
I know i probably can transfer some limit from my freedom to british airway, but has anyone has much luck talking to chase to get limit boost up without transferring limit?
My chase history is 15k slate, 10k freedom, and 2 months ago closed southwest premier visa.

BTW, you can pay off your BA CC before the statement date, which I just did on both the BoA and Bank of Hawaiian, Hawaiian Airlines cards. So if you have the cash to be able to it, then reaching a 20K spend in not a problem. 2K x 10 months is 20K.

So...several posts two weeks ago of people who previously had this card and closed it more than a year ago who intended to try for the bonus again on this offer...but no reports yet of approval for the card with Chase confirmation that bonus points will be awarded after meeting the minimum spend?

I'm waiting until Feb myself, might as well give it as much space between the old card as possible.

Applied tonight, "further blah blah blah" message popped up. Will call in the morning. My credit score is around 700 (was 700 tonight on Equifax, 708 on Transunion) and I have a Chase United MileagePlus card with a 7k credit limit that I got 3 months ago. Hopefully I will get approved over the phone tomorrow morning!
Any particular strategy I should use?
Thanks!

No need for that now -- I just got off the phone. They said I'm approved but they wanted to keep my credit limit the same, so we moved some limit over from my United card.
I'm in! Yes, with the 100k bonus offer at $20k spend, and even though I closed my Chase BA card from a previous bonus offer a mere six months ago (or so).
Yay!
