Avios can be combined or moved between Iberia and Air Lingus accounts.
Chase also offers sign up bonuses on Air LIngus and Iberia co-branded airline credit cards. (As of August 2019's offers both are tiered 100K Avios offers) This allows big spenders that are under 5/24 to get up to 300K in sign up bonuses, plus combine points to book at BA.com for flights and get the fuel surcharge refund and 10% off.
See the BA forum and this thread in the Chase forum for Avios earnings strategies: https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/chase-ultimate-rewards/1980400-anyone-else-racking-up-avios-points.html
Spending $30,000 will earn a Companion Fare "Travel Together" ticket.

Downgrades: Chase offers a no fee BA card. It's not available for new applications but can be accessed via a downgrade from the standard, $95 a year card. When the annual fee comes due you can downgrade/ product change to the British Airways rewards credit card with no annual fee and thereby preserve your card number, credit line and Average Age of Account. It's unclear whether the fee free card will get the new perks (August 2019) of an award fee rebate. Perhaps someone with the fee free card can make a dummy booking and update us here at FT.
Q. Can I apply for this card and earn the bonus after doing so previously? How long do I have to wait before reapplying? Should I call if my application is held for further review and not approved instantly?
A. See the wiki and related discussion in Applying for Chase Credit Cards, 2017 onward
Q. Once I meet the card's initial spending requirement, how soon will I receive my signup bonus points?A. Bonus points typically accrue at the close of the billing period in which you incur the corresponding charges. Points should appear in your hotel/airline account within a few days thereafter.
NOTE: If you complete your required spending in the last 7-10 days of the statement period, the bonus may not post until the following month's statement, even if the regular per-dollar points post on the first statement. This is normal behavior for Chase and is not worth a phone call.

Forgot to update this thread. Per a secure message with Chase the problem is on the BA side and they are working on a resolution. About two weeks out and I still haven't seen my Avios post.

Any further word on Avios posting? I hit min spend the day after I got the card, and would like to buy a flight ASAP.

Can I link the US BA chase credit card to my UK-based BA Executive Club account, or do I have to "move" my BA exec club account to a US address that matches my Chase address?

I'm not sure I like this.

24 month clock reset
Question: If I previously obtained the 100K offer and I'm interested in doing a 50K offer now, does the 24 month clock reset on the day I got the 50K bonus, or the second set of 25K bonus?

I would assume (dangerous word) it's 24 months from the initial bonus date. Apply and let us know.

This product is not available to either (i) current cardmembers of this credit card, or (ii) previous cardmembers of this credit card who received a new cardmember bonus for this credit card within the last 24 months.
You should be able to receive it
