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.

There is no such rule. It's just a vague guess. The people that have gotten the bonus on any Chase card a second time is very small. And even then most of those people got the bonus because the product changed.

Points
I did receive the points for the first two cards and I believe I had the first one open for about 10 months and cancelled and I applied for the next one about 6-8 months later. Cancelled that about 6 months ago and with my third card I received the postcard that I was not eligible. When I called for reconsideration I was told that having the card during the prior 24 months was the reason. Not sure if this is from application from the prior card or from cancellation date.
Specific to the information on their landing page the first page that comes up lists the offer and the link to the application. There is another tab with details that does state prior card holders are not eligible. Not trying to cry over this but it would seem to be more logical to block the application from going through rather than approving the application, sending out the card, and then notifying the person that they are not eligible for the points.

I received this card today. It's my 5th active Chase Personal card. $2100 credit limit (lowest among all cards). During activation, the 50,000 Avios points was confirmed after $2k spend.
Looking forward to using these to get to OGG or DUB next year after positioning via WN (I fly out of OMA).

If you have received the bonus miles before does his preclude you from getting it again?

How long is it taking most people to receive the card after applying and being approved? I'm holding off on buying a flight until mine arrives and it's been 9 days...
