2-4-1 Awards?
Am I crazy or was there also a 2-4-1 coupon for awards associated with the card? If so, how is this done? Do they send a physical coupon? If so, when is it typically sent?
Thanks,
Darren

The original offer had a 2 for 1 electronically deposited after 30,000 spend in a calendar year. The offer was good for 2 for 1 frequent flier redemption.

Deal Still working as of 17 January
Just got off the phone with the customer service rep at Chase, who confirmed that the deal was still on, so looks like 100k miles in the near future. 50k after the first purchase and then another 50k after charging $2k. For anyone interested, I called 888-593-5212

Question about $30,000 companion ticket
I'm really confused about the fee companion ticket with $30,000 - I hope someone can clarify for me:
If I buy an award ticket for an AA flight with my BA miles, can I use the companion ticket voucher with that? or is it only for BA flights (i.e. to London, etc)
thanks

Spent the 2K back in December and still missing the second 50K. I'll wait a little bit longer but I am annoyed as most people here received the bonus right away.

I plan on using mine for a ticket to Australia.

On AA its now 60,000 miles to go to Argentina, but on the BA site I am seeing 40,000 or 50,000 miles depending on if I use BA for a portion of the flight.
Do I use the BA chart to determine where I can go or the One World Alliance chart?

With 100,000 miles, I want two trips to Europe. Is it possible to fly on Iberia from Bos to CDG (via Madrid) and only use 50,000 miles?

Am I correct in thinking that the one partner airline award is more expensive than two oneworld airlines? SFO to SYD is 80k one partner airline, but if I do the same on two oneworld airlines (AA SFO-LAX QF LAX-SYD) it is only 60k (< 9000 miles). Or should I be looking at the round trip mileage?

yup, still good as of 5pm EST
- I waffled on the first offer in December, tried unsucessfully to convince Mrs. jeffisu that we should both apply, but then it was gone.
- Saw the online links came back a week ago, but alas, they too went away.
- Then saw reports of people calling in to get the same offer - convinced my wife we should each apply - and called and did today, deal still on. Calling the 888 number the rep told me I was applying for the 100k offer, but just in case, make sure you state up front that you want this offer. Crossing fingers for approval...
Just like when you see a good airfare, jump on this now if you haven't.

However, it is worth to find out (calling BA is an option btw) for those who are willing to sit in Y on longhaul flights - it may be worthwhile if one wants to zigzag. Stopover is not an issue because the regular award allows unlimited stopovers on the most direct route. Only when you want to zigzag then you need to investigate the distance-based OneWorld award.
