Of course there is a catch BA management aren't as daft as he thinks. So no matter which airline he uses his miles for BA will be the winners in the end.....not him. Wonder if he has read through the small print?

Enjoy your "free" redemption redtailshark.
Naturally, BA had a financial motive to put gazillons of miles into play with Chase.

But, from the perspective of yours truly, the miles are pretty close to free ($40, the opportunity cost of not spending the $2k on my Schwab card).
