Yes, this happened to my son. Not sure if his info is still needed or not.

My first statement closed on 12/19 and I see the 2,598 spend miles AND the 50,000 for first use bonus but NOT the other 50,000 miles for already spending over $2k....I was under the impression that all 100k miles post immediately if you spend over $2k in your first statement...Thoughts?

Like others, I was curious how much redemptions would cost flying BA versus others. Here are a few examples I found:
(All redeeming BA miles)
SFO-ATL on AA = 25,000 miles + $10.00
SFO-LHR on BA = 50,000 miles + 348.24
SFO-HKG (via NRT) on JL = 50,00 miles + 213.21
SFO-NRT on BA (Via LHR) = 60,000 miles + ?? cost (didn't have enough miles to for me to advance to pricing screen)
All for late January dates, with no stopovers.

This is my first time utilizing credit card promotions to gain more miles. As I don't plan to be a long-term BA customer, when will be a good time for me to cancel the card and have minimal effect on my credit? Will 12 months be sufficient so that I don't have to pay the next annual fee?

I got home from vacation to find:
(1) A request for a copy of my social security card, and proof of residence, with the indication that if these are not received in 30 days my application will be denied.
(2) My card. I called and activated it, made the first purchase.
At this point, I don't intend to fulfill #1, since I have #2.

BD, if U don't comply, Chase may cancel your card. Or they may have changed their mind. U should call Chase to ask if they still need any documents from U.

Otherwise they can freeze your account. This happened to us a year or so ago that we ignored a message left on our answering machine regarding a new card as the card had already arrived when we came home from a trip. A few days after we activated the card and used it, the account disappeared from Chase Online. When we called to find out what was going on, the CSR said the account was frozen by Fraud Alert Dept. He transferred us to them and the matter was cleared up on the phone.

Thanks for the advice.
I called the card activation folks, and they said they don't need #1 (the s.s. card, etc.) any more, and not to bother.
Best,

Short of calling in and/or sending in the requested material, there's no guarantee that the card will come and the account allowed to remain open.

Applied - Dec. 16th
Approved - Dec. 19th
Card Received and Activated - Dec. 26th
Called and activated and verified with the rep that the card was attached to the 50,000/50,000 promo and she confirmed it was. I asked when the 90 days started for the second 50,000 and she said the account was opened on the 9th?
