And if I change my address back to the UK after 6 months, having earned the sign up bonus (which I probably would because the taxes are so much lower at the moment for Avios bookings), would the Avios continue to pool on the Chase card?
I refer you to the answer I gave you in the other thread some moments ago

If you switch your address back to the UK then any Avios you earn on the Chase card will not transfer to your BAEC account unless and until you switch it back to a US address. They will accrue on your Chase account. I did this for about a year when I first moved out to the states in 2011. To avoid this continuing hassle I canceled by BA Amex card and switched it to a standard Amex card earning Membership Rewards points in the UK and have maintained my BAEC address in the US for ease of use with the Chase card.
