...and where's the matching 100k Business card application? 
Just admit it, you were all thinking the same thing.

Wow. That's a pretty small window of opportunity. I guess this offer has something to do with BA generating some short-term revenue out of selling miles to Chase????

You can probably find more info on Chase by searching on the "Other Credit Card Programs" forum.

Care to point me to the 10 posts in this thread that address this? I saw zero. I read the whole thing before I asked, and I just re-read it again, and while I see people talking about whether or not it is worth a pull, I didn't see anyone answering my question (which is how many pulls Chase allows before a denial). I googled it too, but 10 minutes of googling turned nothing up.
According to it less than 7 hard pulls in last 6 - 8 months should be ok

This might be one of the sillier questions I have asked on this board. How does one find out their BAEC number? I have a BA Exec Club account from a couple of years ago. I have my email login and can log in with no problem but cannot see my number anywhere. I searched my email as well and none of my BA emails have the number either... Can someone please help?

I was wondering if you can upgrade from a Platinum Chase Visa to the BA card? This way there might not be a pull on your credit?
I had talked to a CSR from Amex one time about going from a regular amex to the Delta gold card vs. Delta gold card to Delta Platinum, and they said neither had a hard pull on your credit, that they were considered upgrades since you would be paying a yearly fee.

A bit off topic but since FW was mentioned I want to give my two cents worth: As a longtime user of FT I guess I got spoiled a bit as to how civil and polite this place normally is. My experience with FatWallet was the complete opposite, I generally view it as being it as being rude and vicious - basically a complete downer. I refuse to even look at FT anymore as any genuinely good deal that's posted there is almost guaranteed to also be posted on SlickDeals and I've found the people on SD to be much nicer to deal with.

Lose Unused Miles if You Don't Keep the Credit Card Open?
I've never earned/used BA miles. My wife and I have earned a ton of AA miles from Citi credit card churns over the last 18 months and already have two major trips planned next year.
This looks like an offer too good to refuse, but I don't see us using the miles for more than a year from now. Since the window to get in on this appears to be limited, what is the Chase/BA policy if we open the card accounts, earn the 100,000 miles each and then close the card accounts 11 months later to avoid the following year fees? Will we lose the 200,000 BA miles similar to how Citi takes away unused TYP if you close the affiliated credit card?
If so, is there a no fee Chase card tied into BA that we could switch to at the end of the first year to keep from losing the miles?

I don't know if they have a fixed number of pulls allowed,but I am sure they are tightening their requirements.
I was recently rejected for a Citi card after churning for the last year or so. Last week I applied for a Chase card and did not get instant approval for the first time and 10 days later it is not showing on my profile yet. I am assuming i will be getting a rejection letter in the mail on this one.
As a data point, my FICO is in the 800 range and utilization is below 10%.
This BA offer almost looks too good to be true,but I am not going to try..it's not worth another pull,since I am sure I will not be approved.

Not sure where the other poster saw the date but it was listed on the email I got from BA announcing the CC.
Here' a cut and paste of the actual terminology from the email:
Apply today.
Your application will be pre-populated with your name and address for your convenience.. Apply before November 30, 2009, to take advantage of this amazing opportunity to earn enough BA Miles for 2 transatlantic reward flights.
Speculation on the BA board is that this deal is happening to generate some short term cash by selling miles to Chase at a low price since BA just posted bad results. This would explain the short application window.
I also anticipate that a lot of people that might apply for this card will actually not get it. The application and offer specifically give Chase/BA a way out by saying you may get the Plat. Card if you do not qualify for this offer. With credit as tight as it is, I think they will be pretty selective and that will upset those rejected and cause lots of complaining to follow in this thread.

Does anyone know how hard it is to just get a ticket within the USA using these miles?
