Just to update people as this question recently came up about retention bonus. I opened the BA Visa Card last year under the 100K promo and have used it moderately over the past year, my guess is a total spend of between $12-14K. When I called yesterday to cancel expecting an offer of a retention bonus they offered nothing and frankly did not seem to care that I was cancelling. As an aside, I had previously called in January "threatening" to cancel and was unsuccessful then in getting a bonus, but chose to hold off at that time. Surprised that they felt a customer was not even worth trying to throw a bone to.
