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.

It also said "This one-time bonus offer is valid only for first-time cardmembers with new accounts. Previous and existing cardmembers/accounts are not eligible for this bonus offer." under the offer details. However, under the card benefits, it said " This bonus offer is available to you as long as you have not received a new cardmember bonus for this product in the past 24 months."

My understanding with Chase which the terms also reflect is you just have to have not got a signup bonus for the same offer in the last two years so you should be fine. That said I have seen a reference someplace that if you use the same Executive Club number you may have an issue. Honestly I haven't read up much on this because I haven't got around to churning Chase offers yet.
I used the same Executive Club number in both cases, so yes it is possible to churn this card although this is just one data point.
Funny enough the missus has never had a single BA Chase card approved although she's had multiple other Chase cards before. First attempt was at the end of 2013 (processing, followed by rejection letter) and the second attempt was last month which also got a rejection. Her credit score is better than mine in the high 780s.

In the summer of 2013 I applied for the $75 annual fee (not waived for first year) BA card that gave you 50k points after first purchase, and then another 50k points after anniversary and one purchase. I'm assuming because my second 50k posted in 2014 that I haven't hit the 24 month mark yet, but I figured I'd check if anyone else that applied for the same offer I did gotten the bonus this time around?

I'm considering applying for this card. Anything suggesting a higher bonus in the coming months? Maybe after the new award chart is in effect?

Has anyone tried to apply for a second BA card with first one opened? Even, if it's the same offer after 24months?

Incidentally, on ba.com:
http://www.britishairways.com/en-us/...s/credit-cards
It says the annual fee waived offer is valid through June 30, 2015.

The title of this thread includes... Good thru 3/31/15. I couldn't find that mentioned anywhere in the original link... Could just be me. Anyway... I'm hoping it will expire and perhaps the 100k offer will be offered again. Of course... With the BA link just mentioned... Perhaps my hopes are dashed.
Anyone have any insight?

I just got a letter in the mail from Chase. They are increasing the number of miles earned on BA purchases to 3, up from 2.5, and decreasing the number of miles earned on regular purchases to 1, down from 1.25, effective 4/30. So the offer will definitely be changed, just hope they increase the sign up bonus. I'm waiting for the 100k miles.
