Up to 100K Avios - 50K after $3K spend/3 mos. plus 50K after $20K spend in 12 months($95 AF)
- https://creditcards.chase.com/travel-credit-cards/british-airways
Now with up to $600 in statement credits for award taxes and fees PER CALENDAR YEAR. 3x$200 or 3x $100 depending on class booked. See the details for flight restrictions, etc, here:
https://www.chase.com/personal/credit-cards/british-airways/rewards-redemption/statement-credit
The calendar year restriction means that you can use it twice in the upcoming months, 3x on or before Dec 31 and 3x again after Jan 1 or a total of up to $1200.
10% back on flights booked at BA.com using the code CHASEBA10.
The details are here: https://www.chase.com/personal/credit-cards/british-airways/rewards-redemption/save-10percent
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.

I applied on the 9th, I have added a security statement on my credit after one company pulled my credit without my knowledge, after i applied i got the message to call to verify my info, didn't call for the last 5 days, my patience ran out today at work and ended up calling, i needed to clear the security statement, they did that, and then transfer me to another CSR, who also ended up running my application, after 3 minutes hold he approved me. i have 17 HP in the last 12 months.

can you use the card right away before the physical card arrives in the mail? i think some cards give you a temporary account number so you can use it right away.

I tried constructing a landing page URL with the parameters in the app URL but was unsuccessful. Chase seems to be redirecting everything to the current no-waiver landing page.

Do you have any information on the other terms for this offer (specifically, the associated sign-up bonus)? Yes, I'm aware of bump-the-bonus, but more information is always better. Otherwise there will be endless questions in the thread if we put this link in the wiki.

I assume you still have to spend 10k to get 75k avios..?
And did you specifically ask to get matched to the new 100k offer or did you only ask to confirm the 50k bonus in the SM without mentioning 100k and they automatically "volunteered" to change to 100k without adding annual fee?

I send an SM when i saw the card added to my account online.
I said i wanted to be bumped to the 100k offer. they did it no problem.

Does the "2k to 50k avios, 10k to 75k avios, 20k to 100 avios" rewards offer now show up in your online Chase account? Or do you just have the SM confirmation that they added it?
