You see......he is under the impression that he is going to receive 100000 BA miles for nothing - everyone knows that you don't get something for nothing so what is the catch? 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.
The cost of $40 is about what it takes to receive 100,000 BA miles, that is, if you have a US residence address, and are approved for a BA Visa issued by Chase.
$2,000 spending on BA Visa would net you 50K + 50K BA miles. $2000 at 2% cash rebate on the best alternative, is $40.
While $40 is not free, it is very close to free.
I am sure your old friend
redtailshark would really like it this way.
As far as the catch, let's say, BA must have a dire need to exchange gazillion miles for cash with Chase to come up with this offer.... Unfortunately, the catch is, the offer is only available to US-based applicants.
