We will see in a couple of weeks if I get the dreaded letter!
BUT! I do have a secured message confirming no record and I'm good to go

I just cannot have the reconsider line approve this for me. I have tried 5 times with 6 different reps. I got approved for the UA Explorer and Sapphire both at the beginning of April and that's the reason they won't approve this one. 
The first two times I called they were giving me a generic "your application is being processed, it may take up to 30 days to get a decision". The other 3 times they told me straight out that since they haven't established if I can handle my recently opened cards well, they cannot approve this one right now.
They said that they can reconsider the same application up to 30 days after it has been submitted. I will probably call them after I have made my first payments on the Sapphire and Explorer.
Any ideas, comments are welcome

Okay, I just landed it. Here is my experience with this:
1. Used the one way routing in the first post that was just under $1400.
2. Got the offer exactly as already said
3. Applied and got the pending notification
4. I back out of my browser at that point without purchasing
5. Called Chase and they asked my name and data of birth and said I have been approved and will have my card within 30 days. BINGO!
100K miles on the way! Now, I just need to find some reasons to go to Dallas and Chicago from FSD!
Also, I don't understand why the moderators still have "must buy ticket" in the title.

I've tried it several times (and just went through the steps again a moment ago) and the offer still appears. (Note: Each time I have done this without logging in to my BA account.)

I gave up on Safari, went to Firefox and it worked. It said I will get my decision within 30 days. It is advisable to call Chase or just wait?

I tried it both ways - logged into my account and not logged in. I had no problems either way.
