50K, 75K or 100K offer https://creditcards.chase.com/a1/ba/nonaep?CELL=6H8X
Public link on Chase.com
https://creditcards.chase.com/credit...H0&list=4,2,1&
50,000 Avios after $2000 in purchases within the first 3 months
25,000 Avios after an additional $8000 in purchases within the first year
25,000 Avios after an additional $10000 in purchases within the first year
(Thus, a total of $20000 spend for 100,000 Avios)
Annual fee $95 NOT waived
Card earns 1 Avios/$ on everyday spend
Warning: Avios do not work like other types of miles and points
The British Airways system is distance based, priced per segment, with very high fees and fuel surcharges possible, depending on the airline flown. In particular, redemptions for British Airways flights are often the worst value. Therefore, one of the most popular uses of points is for short-haul flights on partner airlines.
Make sure you understand the program thoroughly before you apply for this card, as whining may be considered off-topic. Most questions and advice have already been given within this thread.

Here is my newbie question, which is actually a question that I failed to find answer to after searching extensively over the web, but I am sure it is a very easy question for you guys here. Since a huge value of the avois points is their redeemability with the partner airlines, then usually how much does it cost to redeem the avois points on a partner airlines flight, is that a flat fee or vary depending on the specific circumstance?
And also where can I find the avois points redemption chart with a partner airlines?
Thank you in advance.

My understanding is fees vary by partner, but traveling internationally is quite expensive with fuel surcharges. Also, I believe (this may be incorrect) but when booking partner travel you have to use avios per segment. So if there is no direct flight between your destination and arrival you have to use avios for each leg of the trip.

I think it varies quite a bit, with American Airlines domestic flights having very low fees.

The spend required I think is CRAZY. As much as I would like to get 100K I think I will pray for the 2 annual fees that was available doing a fake booking earlier this year. I can't believe people can spend that. For me that seems crazy high. But then again I am young.

Thats "vanilla reloads" in forum [coded] language. 
Wish they would just stay in one topic and play this idiotic scrabble game.

that's if you can find a place that has reloads and is willing to take CC with them.

Wallmart has VRs and they take CC's. Now depending on the CC used, you could get bouns points since WallMart can be looked at as pharmacy and or grocery store.

How long did the 100k offer hang around last time? I am considering getting in on this, but I just did the UA 65k offer with chase less than a month ago...would prefer to wait 3 months before reapplying with chase?

I've seen the expiry date of February 27, 2013 for this offer posted on a few blogs and I think somewhere earlier in this thread.
