United approval did not affect my BA bonus

Should I wait until this statement closes to apply for the UA visa? Or does it really have no bearing?

I just don't want to take any chances with my BA miles, but I also know this deal could dissapear any day.

Oh, and is there a minimum spend requirement for this one?
My post (#224 in this thread) might be encouraging to you. I also applied and got the BA in February. I was waiting for my 50k BA miles to post but decided to go ahead and apply for the UA anyway. They rejiggered my credit limits but today I got in the mail a letter confirming approval of the UA card. I also noticed today that my BA account now reflects the first 50k bonus miles, which were posted yesterday (I did not make my first purchase on my BA card for about a month after I was approved). So, apparently my application for the UA card and the rejiggering of that credit line did not affect my BA bonus.
