Only perk they'll then have left is transferштп points in increments of 1 (AmEx only does in 1K increments). Is Chase killing the card?
No idea if they are killing it, but they just started offering the Iberia card. Regards |

Not 100% related, but the 10% discount for RBC BA Visa cardholders (Canada) was not extended. It just expired recently and there is no other info.

I used it for a couple of flights in September 2018 - so extended beyond June 2018.

Correct, the discount was good for flights up until December 31, 2018 for bookings made prior to June 2018. But the discount is no longer offered on new bookings.

So if the 10% off discount goes away, it's better to cancel the card and use my Amex Platinum for BA spend? I don't mind the 1K transfer increments.

Everything I have found says the discount ends June 3oth. July we should know if it will be extended.
But I found this on One Mile at a Time. in order to take advantage of this offer, just enter code CARDOFFERU on the booking page in the “Promotion code” section. Note that there seems to be a new version of the British Airways website (which I find to be awful), and on that I can’t find where to enter the code, so I recommend using the old version of the site. |
I booked a flight using this code a couple days ago for a flight in August ...so the book by June 30, fly by December 31 may still apply. But I do have some advice about using the promo code with the new website. The new website does have a link to add a promotion code, and when you click it (after selecting flights), it brings the booking to the old version of the website. Entering the promo code at this stage would give me an error and a blank promotion. I got around this by logging out before going through the flight selection....adding the promo code, then logging in when prompted for passenger info. |

Well, I don't think the outlook for this discount continuing is very good. It's now June 26th. I don't think they ever let the AARP discount get this close to the wire before extending.
And as mentioned, the fact that this discount is NOT listed as a card benefit in the marketing literature here: https://www.chase.com/personal/credi...ritish-airways seems pretty telling to me. Regards |
Then I am booking Virgin Atlantic in J
Given the same price, I will go with the Virgin experience as every seat has isle access.Plus I dont have to pay to select a seat. |
