True...I assumed (incorrectly) that when I was not immediately approved that the only other option was to be immediately declined. The 800 number quickly confirmed my wife's card with a high limit...I think all of us in the early days of this thread just assumed that the phone never informed you that you'd been denied.
One other thing I noticed today: the card that I would have offered to give up to get the BA card had its credit limit reduced by the exact amount of my BA Visa.
I get the sense that it's Chase's subtle way of telling me "We'll let you in on this one with a low limit, but you're at the edge of what we we're going to give you..." If there's a new Marriott or UA 100k bonus offer out next week, I suspect I won't be able to get it.

Though I would think Chase should have called you first regarding the option of re-allocating credit line. It seems only BofA pulls such act of re-allocating credit lines without first consult with the applicants.

And to get a definite answer, you can call BAEC to find out for sure.
On another note, why people keep sweating on the little details such as from home base to gateway airports? At worst scenario, you pay your own way to get from TPA to MIA, or wherever to ORD, or SFO, or JFK.... The domestic portions to get to the gateways are plentiful, and in the big scheme of things, it is a small additional cost, really.

Should be good if AA has eagle flights between TPA and MIA.

You're right about the domestic portion but from what I understand AA has the Eagle flights from here to MIA.
The great part of all this is that for 40K I can go to Rio and back. This Card is really what I needed.

If you never receive a decline message, it may just be your application was stuck in a "Security Review / Verification" que. Mine is currently in that stage since 11/19 application date, while my husband's card applied on the same date, showed up online in 4 days! And I even used Chase log-in, but his was done as new customer.
Three 888 number reps said they cannot touch my app because there is NOTHING they can do - app is not in declined status, app is not in que for re-allocation CL, app is simply in que for Security Review / Verification. The last 2 reps did say they did not see any factor that would affect approval other than the process of security verification.

From my experience with both my application and Hubby's, I would say don't use the chase log in on application. They needed to verify our SS number and utility bill for identity. I was able to get it done on the phone during the day, by being transferred to fraud department, and asked alot of questions to verify identity. But hubby, who called in evening, needs to wait until letter comes in mail and then mail back all the info. I was approved 2 days after they verified identity for 22,500. I have been doing the AA citi churning for 2 cards every 60 days and had 9 hard pulls from Jan. Happy I was approved!!
EDIT:
The card is now online, while on Sunday the message was still "we would notify you within 2 weeks." Sheesh.

Your assumption is correct. The current TOTAL credit line you have with Chase, probably is the maximum exposure they would allow with your profile.
Though I would think Chase should have called you first regarding the option of re-allocating credit line. It seems only BofA pulls such act of re-allocating credit lines without first consult with the applicants.

To be fair, the account they reallocated credit from has a zero balance and hasn't had any activity on it in six months. The only reason I keep it open is because every now and then I get a fresh new 0% teaser offer on it. My other two Chase accounts that have regular activity weren't affected.

I haven't yet received anything in writing from Chase (either via snail mail or e-mail). Just the emails from BA and the confirmation on the 800 line that I'd been approved with a small amount of credit.

They do not take anything away from my dormant card which I only charge a few bucks every 3 months to keep it alive before the coin thing. Then used the coin to get up to next reward level and promptly cashed out the reward then let it go back to sleep.

I see on BA.com that credit card holders also get a $50 discount when booking on BA.com
Does anyone know if this applies to TATL flights only? Would you get the discount on a LHR-CDG flight?

When I called to activate my cards last week the CSR told me that my card had no fee for the first year. I know that is not what the t/c say but will report back when the first statement posts.

Approved. 25K. No complaints.
Any guesses as to why Chase is so generous with the CL's on this card? These credit lines remind me of apps from 2 years ago.
Is it only to burn through all the BAEC points they got their hands on ?

Approved for $25K. Already in my accounts online. Applied Nov. 7. I guess it took this long because Chase reduced my Sony's card by $25K without me doing anything before I was approved.
All set with BA Executive Club.
Thanks for all the input!

The 800 # to check on the status of your application is 800-945-2006. When the recording starts press the # key and then listen and follow the prompts.
