Just logged into Chase, and see my new BA card is there. ^
Am expecting a battle to get the points,
as I have had the card before,
but we'll see......

Has anyone gotten a denial from the 800-945-2006 number, or does it just keep saying "pending" until you get your ding letter in the mail?

So 1 BA credit card with $2k in purchases and roughly $800 in costs for 2 r/t tickets DFW-LHR with BA.
Or... 3 AA credit cards with $2250 in purchases and roughly $100 in costs for 2 r/t tickets DFW-LHR off peak (peak time would be 4 cards and $3k in purchases to get the required 120k miles).
Save $700 by applying for 2-3 additional cards.... What am I missing about this deal that makes it so sweet... ?

This is the only issue I have with this card... $390 taxes, fees, and fuel charges for DFW -> LHR -> DFW. I have bought a r/t ticket on AA for $345 after taxes before (2004/2005 - no miles!). Tickets are frequently offered around $500-600 (earning you 10k miles while you're at it too). If I use my AA miles for this flight, it's 40 or 60k miles and $45-50 in taxes as opposed to 50k and $390 in taxes with BA. Huge difference there...

Have been discussed Ad Nauseam on this thread but you obviously completely miss it.

Thanks for posting this information
philemer:
Thanks for posting this information. Mrs. USAFAN applied 11/11 ... today we called this number and she was approved. The new BA account also showed up at her Chase Website.
I applied 11/12 and NOT approved (yet). I may have some problems ... applied for another Chase credit card less the 6 month ago .... was told by a lady agent at the credit department, that the "computer" will automatically send a refusal letter (if and when somebody applies in less then 6 month).

NO, you can NOT take AA TATL, taxes or no taxes. Must be BA metal OR other partners.
Yes, fuel surcharges only apply to BA metals.
There are 4 different award charts on BA miles - all of them are again discussed extensively on this thread.

It would help you much better to spend some time reading thru some recent pages of this thread, as well as going to BA website to check the award rules.

Love the edit after you originally put "Partner flights."... trying to add insult for not reading this entire thread before posting. For those just joining this thread reading backwards the info may come in handy now.

As I mentioned earlier, they told me that they could not verify my income based on my credit report. Several others have gotten this as well and it seems like a bogus reason.
Anyways, I will have my Chase banker ask for reconsideration, as he has offered to do so in the past.

Such options naturally have been discussed many times on this thread with more illustrating examples.
