Avios can be combined or moved between Iberia and Air Lingus accounts.
Chase also offers sign up bonuses on Air LIngus and Iberia co-branded airline credit cards. (As of August 2019's offers both are tiered 100K Avios offers) This allows big spenders that are under 5/24 to get up to 300K in sign up bonuses, plus combine points to book at BA.com for flights and get the fuel surcharge refund and 10% off.
See the BA forum and this thread in the Chase forum for Avios earnings strategies: https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/chase-ultimate-rewards/1980400-anyone-else-racking-up-avios-points.html
Spending $30,000 will earn a Companion Fare "Travel Together" ticket.

Downgrades: Chase offers a no fee BA card. It's not available for new applications but can be accessed via a downgrade from the standard, $95 a year card. When the annual fee comes due you can downgrade/ product change to the British Airways rewards credit card with no annual fee and thereby preserve your card number, credit line and Average Age of Account. It's unclear whether the fee free card will get the new perks (August 2019) of an award fee rebate. Perhaps someone with the fee free card can make a dummy booking and update us here at FT.
Q. Can I apply for this card and earn the bonus after doing so previously? How long do I have to wait before reapplying? Should I call if my application is held for further review and not approved instantly?
A. See the wiki and related discussion in Applying for Chase Credit Cards, 2017 onward
Q. Once I meet the card's initial spending requirement, how soon will I receive my signup bonus points?A. Bonus points typically accrue at the close of the billing period in which you incur the corresponding charges. Points should appear in your hotel/airline account within a few days thereafter.
NOTE: If you complete your required spending in the last 7-10 days of the statement period, the bonus may not post until the following month's statement, even if the regular per-dollar points post on the first statement. This is normal behavior for Chase and is not worth a phone call.

I think the reason you are not finding any "amazing offer" posts is not because of a lack of affiliate links, but because this is not an amazing offer at all.
And please let's not start talking about how to use Avios, there are more than plenty of those posts on Flyertalk.

Not to mention Avios are much more valuable than other airline miles for short haul flights.

I missed out on the 100K Avios offer, and have all the other cards mentioned above (United, AA, Delta, Chase Sapphire), so this is a good deal for me. No annual fee with easy spend to meet.

Offer
If you are churning some cards I think this is a great offer. I can't apply for any Citi cards for a while but both me and the Mrs. applied for this and we got this card. 100k Avios that we can use of AA is great.

I haven't. So wait and see I guess. Finding out I'm leaving the US soon enough so I have to stop playing this game soon after starting it and figured I'd try and get in another promotion before starting again elsewhere.
That said, I called the recon line and they never mentioned anything and clearly said I was approved (yesterday, so time to wait for the card). I didn't think they offered a BA platinum. I'll be a test case, I suppose.
I don't know if it matters that I already have a CSP and if they do total credit exposure by bank or something.

The waiving of the first year's annual fee makes this a pretty good offer, IMO. Got 2x100K a couple years ago and haven't seen anything that generous since then.
Other BA 100K for $10K spend offers seem like a poor choice considering that people can get the same deal when signing up for an AMEX Platinum card and then transfer MR points to BA, often with a 30%, or more, bump.
And September is estimated tax time!
or 
, depending on your outlook.

Still haven't got the physical card, and doubt I will until next week. That said, the account just posted to my Chase account and all the terms are the exact same as the signature. It appears I have a Visa Signature with a $2k limit.

The BA card seems to have the 100K offer, granted it was the beginning of this year, but well worth the wait, I got this card in Feb of this year and just finished the complete spend for the whole 100K.
