dumb paranoid question
in the rules section it says something about applying the points to a coach flight. They can't MAKE you go coach. You can apply the points to biz or first? right?

More data point:
One of my family members applied yesterday (11/30) and she got a new BA Exec Welcome Email today, telling her to log in with the PIN (which, of course, has not arrived yet). In any case, I thought it was a fast turnaround time. It took me a full week before I heard anything! The status line message hasn't changed yet.
I had also gotten a email from chase that mentioned the 50K+50K bonus miles roughly a week after activation. I don't think anyone has gotten a "paper" pamphlet confirming the sign-on bonus. None of my credit cards (with bonus miles offer) ever come with the sign-up bonus info, but they have always posted. ^ I wouldn't be too worry about it if you had applied from the 50k+50K link.

No printed matter referring to the sign-up bonus, but then I wouldn't have expected any.

I got charged the annual fee today. I'm posting about this because when I called and activated my card they said the annual fee would be waived for the first year. Just wondering if anybody else got charged when they said it would be waived. I have the platinum version so maybe the person told me wrong and only signature card holders get the fee waived.

Oh well. I figured it was the cost of getting the 100k miles. No harm done.

I was just about to post this as well. I checked my charges today, and noticed that I was charged the $75 annual fee. The rep had told me that my annual fee is waived (because he didn't see it on the computer and it normally is when there is a fee). I don't think it has to do with the type of card. I have a Visa Signature card and the fee was posted today.

taxes, fees, surcharges - on PARTNER award flights?
The credit card application information states: "All reward flights are subject to taxes, fees, charges and surcharges, including airline surcharges". It seems that this statement refers only to BA award flights.
So: (1) If one were to book strictly on a partner airline (e.g. AA or JAL) could you simply book directly with those airlines (giving them your BA mileage program number); and (2) In this case would there then be no taxes, fees, and surcharges that would apply?

Except you need to book through BA for those airlines.

Annual Fee charged on 12/01.
Despite at activation today the CSR said the annual fee would be charged at First Year Anniversary, the annual fee is posted on card today.

Trans Date Post Date Type Description Transaction Number Amount
12/01/2009 12/01/2009 Fee ANNUAL MEMBERSHIP FEE(Other)
$75.00
I fully expect many would see their annual fees showing up no matter what the CSRs told them, because the Ts & Cs say there is an annual fee.
Based on experiences with Chase, the annual fee is charged on the 1st of the month. In fact one time we had a CO card, the fee was charged BEFORE the card was showing up online - the card was "officially" approved on 2nd or 3rd of the month but the fee was charged on the 1st of the month. When the card was finally online, the fee was already there.
Check your account online to see if the fee posted.

2) There will be taxes and fees, just no fuel surcharges.
There are ALWAYS taxes and fees with award booking in case you have not booked any award travel before. Just that partner airlines flights dont have fuel surcharges in the case of BA award.

Annual fee charged today for both my card and my wife's card. Both are Signature cards. The CSR told my wife that her first year fee will be waived. In my case, the CSR was not sure but she thought it will be waived too.

Yup - annual fees for my two cards also.
I'll have to make some calls when I'm ready to do battle . . .

So, is anyone going to take Chase up on the fee?
The reps told you that there was no fee, yet it was stated in the T & C that you signed up with.
