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

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.

lol seems that link was posted on that website in March, it only took a few days to be killed. I applied using another link with no 1st yr annual fee, but with the 1pt/$spent offer. Went to pending (typical of chase). Will update if I get approved with the 50K bonus offer.

how long does chase wait to post avios. Usually it's pretty fast with UR and SW points. My statement closed a week ago covering the 2k min spend and no 50K avios.

Did it show/list the 50k bonus earned on your Chase statement? I just got my statement, which shows Avios earned for actual dollars spent, but not the 50k bonus (I'm well over $2k on the statement).

Read the bottom of the Wiki of this thread - that should answer your question.

Does anyone think this offer will last until end of November? I'm planning on a car purchase by end of Oct., and wanted to get this card, but didn't want to chance affecting my upcoming car loan.

Applied for the 100k this evening. Denied this card a little over 3 months ago (after mistakenly calling in) due to age of accounts and fact that I had received 2 Chase cards earlier in the year. Sat on my hands for 100 days and got pending. This time I'm not calling in. Approx 800 CS on all bureaus, only 25k in Chase cards (recently reduced one substantially), 200k income, high number of HPs in last year/two years. Will update once I hear back from them but based on the advice I've seen in this thread, not calling in is my best shot.

If your credit scores are low enough that 1 cc app would affect you ability to get a car loan then I would serisouly consider even applying for a credit card at this time...it should be irrelevent if you have decent scores. I applied for 5 and wife applied for 4 new cc's last month and we could walk into a bank tomorrow and get a car loan for the best available rate with no issues.

Please read the related post regarding the 24 months count
For those who have done the 25K/$10K in the past and wonder when the 24 months starts, the following data point posted on the Chase App thread is a welcoming news
