You are probably correct, because the T&C of the offer say to allow 6-8 weeks after the end of the offer for the points to post and that the card must be open and not in default at the time of fulfillment.

This means that you have to keep the card until August to get the bonus points.

Got this message too. I don't use this card nearly as much as my others though.

Just got my offer in mail as well, for up to $4 spend. Not gotten the wife's yet. Both our cards will have first anniv annual fee billed 5/1/12. Seems like a smart move on Chase and BA's part to give this incentive to keep card through the annual fee period.
The terms say "Maximum bonus Avios accumulation during the promotional period is 10, 000 bonus points, which equates to $4,000 in net purchases".
The way I read that is that I earn 10k BONUS Avios for $4k spend, ie the bonus is on top of the regular 1.25 Avios earned per $1. Anyone have actual experience with this in past who can say if they earned a total of 2.5x or 3.75x on their non-BA spend?
I will definitely do this if I am earning 3.75x Avios on next $4k spend, as it is a nice incentive on top of the retention bonus.

Got it too, so now I have concurrent UA 1.5 miles/$, BA 2.5 miles/$ and AA 3 miles/$ for groceries, drug and gas. I'd rather they had been spaced out a bit.

I doubt I'll use the BA card. I still need to get rid of 55K miles from the 100K bonus.

Does anyone know how this bonus would be calculated on spending made on BA.com? I believe we already earn 2.5 miles per dollar on BA purchases so would this just be an additional 1.25 or would it double or would we end up with nothing additional because we already earned 2.5/$?

T&C state that bonus Avios will post 6-8 weeks after promotion ends. This means mid-to-late August.

I called Chase since it has now hit 6 weeks and I wanted to make sure that they bonus points were posting.

The CSR couldn't find the promo under my account, so it has been escalated to a supervisor.

Has anyone gotten their bonus points posted? I have 10K that should post ...

My statement closed yesterday on 8/20 and in checking it out today the additional 1.25 points/$1 spend (up to $8k) was posted.

BRITISH AIRWAYS VISA REWARDS SUMMARY

Avios earned for purchases this period 3,662
Promotional Avios 10,000
Total Avios transferred to Executive Club 13,662

Sadly it appears the bonus is not on top of the regular 1.25 points/$1 spend, but only an additional 1.25 points/$1 spend for the 10,000 bonus points.
