Um, the OP has the link to a still functioning 100K offer: https://applynow.chase.com/FlexAppWe...F01&MKID=&MSC=

Is there an 800 number to call to confirm if your card had been approved or not?

You could always read the first post and all the other ones that reference the number.

are awards on Alaska Air not bookable online?

I'm missing the relevance of this question to a thread on a BA Chase credit card. ??

darn and drats. i was hoping it woudl survive to feb when enquiries drop off and i'd be able to apply

lesson learned here is keep your credit enquiries down for the good stuff

for everyone that got 100k or 200k miles enjoy using them!

No. You have to call. And right on BA website it says so, too.

AS is a partner of BA. BA miles can be used to book partner award.

People commingled posts related to the card and posts related to how to redeem BA miles, from the get-go of this thread.

This question while has been answered many times, still is better than the question asking for 800 number. Most information related to the card itself is on the First Post which the OP has kindly updated a few times.

BA redemptions on partner airlines
 

Sorry, I know this has been discussed a lot, and normally I would search and read everything to confirm things myself, but since I am having internet problems and it appears that today might be the last day to get apply for the BA Chase Visa with the 100K bonus points, I wanted to clarify my understanding of the partner redemption situation, since I'm not sure I would ever redeem points on BA flights.

If I understood other posts and info on the BA website correctly, it appears that since AA is a BA OneWorld Alliance partner, people can use BA points to travel on AA flights (except for going east from the US TATL, i.e., to Europe). In particular, I wanted to confirm my understanding that I could use BA points to book AA (or other partner) flights from the US to the following locations and current mileage levels:

1) Within US (48 contiguous) - 25K roundtrip for coach
2) Caribbean, Hawaii - 35K roundtrip for coach

It appears (and I think I read something about this) that a good way to use BA points is for travel to HI, since US carriers have higher mileage requirements for this trip.

Thanks in advance for any feedback!

My wife and I are going to Tokyo next summer. So this would be perfect!

So how does this work? Does my wife and I each submit separate applications and get separate card accounts? or do I just apply and then "add" my wife to get the 200,000 flyer miles?

Also, will I be able to use the 200,000 next summer or would that be too soon? is there a waiting period?

Thanks!

Apply separately. Get two accounts, two account numbers, charge $2k to each.

Then, you receive one 2-for-1 cert for each account that has $30k per year charged. Since my wife and I combined charge maybe $40k per year, we will be calling this week to get a 2nd card issued on one account. Once we hit $2k on the other account, that card goes in a drawer and we focus $30k on a single account in 2010.

I don't know the full rules on BA family accounts, but from Chase's end the $30k needs to hit a SINGLE credit card account. So you start with 2 accounts to get your 200k, then eventually focus spending on one account....unless each of you spends $30k per year on your own cards.

Application on 11/30, BA email on 12/8, approval confirmation 12/11. Glad I got in on this one!

Good Things Do Come in Platinum Packages?
 

That's great news for many of us, piwo, since you had previously posted (#1399) that you have the (non-Signature) Platinum card.

If my Plat card gets the miles, maybe I won't have to endure more ribbing from my family members who all (except me) received the Sig card...in spite of the fact that my FICO and income are higher :)

Yes, it seems Plat card gets the same bonuses. I also have the Plat card and got the first 50K - haven't spent 2K yet.

btw, are you the same Middle Seat of WSJ fame?

Applied 12/1, the BA account# showed up in my online Chase account today.. ^ Haven't received the card yet though.
