Would be good if another Chase card is of interest to you to apply for that one ( Sapphire or Marriott??) and if they hesitate allowing you the card 'offer' to close the BA and move the credit line

The Sapphire and the Explorer are great options.
I prefer the Sapphire because of Chase's Ultimate Rewards transfer partners. You also get 2x points on travel, meals, and entertainment. It does have a 3k spend in 3 months.

...and don't forget to occasionally check to make sure your miles aren't expiring soon. If they are, BA website has a shopping mall that will allow you to extend the expiration date via internet shopping.

God I wish I did not miss that 100K offer. BTW what was the spend to get the 100K? (Also they need to come back with that offer.)

Also, with the new Avios downgrades, it's not as exciting a deal. Still a lot of points and can be useful if you have expensive short-hauls, but where's the fun in that?
