I'll add it, I think you need 90 or 180 posts to edit a wiki.

No, but the pattern seems to be that a new BA bonus starts 2.5 to 4 months from the end of the last bonus. So sometime between August 22 and October 7.

Is it also worth adding whether the bonuses are for UK or US customers? Or do we need a new thread for the UK?

All of the ones above were US bonuses. My list only had 2 or 3 UK bonuses on it, so I didn't think it was worth confusing people who don't spend time reading.

When was this and any guesses for when the next one might be? (UK)

The 25% off was last October I believe. There was then a short (targeted) transfer bonus a little later and hasn't been one since.

Excellent. I suggest removing the AirTran entry because they are no longer a partner. I think we should also include hotel program transfer bonuses. There is already a question about the Starwood bonus, which is typically only once per year and short.

You could create a separate section for UK bonuses, or you might start a similar Wiki in this (for example) thread:

http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/ameri...otions-uk.html

I will refine the thread titles to make the bonus history easier to find by searching, and it's easy to cross-reference one Wiki to another to help others find the correct chart for the country where their card was issued.
