As promised heres goes:
there are 2 options;
1) you apply for a classic card get 1 yr free and 5000 miles 1st use, then after you get your 1st statement and pay it call back and request it be upgraded to a platinum card with no annual fee ever!
2) call the same # and request a platinum card w/o an annual fee ever get your 5000 miles.
I requested and got the upgrade before I got my 1st statement so I got the 5000 miles bonus once maybe by following the 1st way you'll get the bonus 2x I don't know, but I got the 5000 miles on the newer acct # credited,while it showed up on the 1st acct statement it didnt get credited on that statement it was reversed cause of the new acct #.

The acct is for a BRITISH AIRWAYS VISA issued by First USA tel#:1-800-577-0633.Remember the miles can be cashed in for a tkt or joint tkt on any ONEWORLD member(AA not good over the Atlantic but can get a domestic tkt among many others). Make sure you ask for the card with NO ANNUAL FEE ever. A rep. offered it to me when I wanted to upgrade to a card w/CDW,every time I called after the reps were amazed that it was a no fee ever and still earned miles.
Yes ones limited to certain airlines but IMHO it sure beats having to order tkts 2 or 3 weeks in adv and having to keep the price of the tkt below X $$. Down side capacity controls but I never had a prob w/BA as long as I was flex.
Hope that it was worth the wait,but I wanted to make sure that a deluge wouldn't get my cancelled.
