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.

No need for that now -- I just got off the phone. They said I'm approved but they wanted to keep my credit limit the same, so we moved some limit over from my United card.
I'm in! Yes, with the 100k bonus offer at $20k spend, and even though I closed my Chase BA card from a previous bonus offer a mere six months ago (or so).
Yay!

Viva FlyerTalk! And, as is not said enough in this forum, thank you to those who selflessly help others rack up the crazy quantities of miles/points.

Does anyone know if I need to spend $30K within 1 year of getting the card or within a full calender year (so either in 2012 or in 2013) to get the companion certificate?
Thanks!
Thanks!

Calendar year so unless you've got some big purchases planned for the next ten days, hold off until January 1.

Even if you did, it would be pretty difficult to max the account and pay it off enough times this year to hit $30k! Plus I think the companion cert would be valid longer if earned next year as well.

The companion cert is valid 2 years from the issue date, no matter what day it is issued. It does take 4-6 weeks to receive it after it is issued, though, so you have a bit under 2 years to book and travel.

If you don't have any immediate use for the companion pass, it's best to cross $30K sometime in December. I won't say the last day, but maybe right around now. If you cross $30K today, you can use the companion pass sometime up to Dec. 2014.

So in regards to the companion certificate, can one use it on a RTW trip and if so, can you do mutli stops with it?

It must be on BA metal, so I don't know how you would do an RTW since everything goes through London. The outbound has to originate in the US and the return has to go back to the US.
