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.

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.

That's what I thought too. It just sounded like runb4fun's experience might point to good news. Hopefully the card comes today and I'll see what I can get from SM.

Apologies but had I misread. I checked again and only 50k was mentioned in the SM.

Data Point:
They just honored the 50/75/100 offer with no AF (used the 50k / no AF link) Card approved 10 days ago. SM'd well after the offer was dead.

Hi,
I just applied for a BA Chase VISA card. I got decision pending. Is it good to call recon or just to wait?
thanks

Hi guys, what's the recent timeframe for BA miles posting? My stmt closed Monday but I still haven't seen miles posted (not bonus miles, just regular spend miles). Thanks.

I've only had mine for one statement cycle, but my bonus and regular spend Avios posted within a business day or two of statement closing.

General consensus on Chase card pending apps is to wait. Call if you get a rejection letter. When I applied for the BA Visa a few months ago, it went pending and they called me to verify identify a few days later and approved me (didn't have to speak with a credit analyst which was great because I had a lot of cards opened recently).

I had the same thing when I applied for my BA two months ago. Called right away, they asked me a few Qs to verify it was me that applied and was approved.

I just finished spending 30k with this card. How long would it usually take for the Travel Together certificate to be issued?
Thank you

Has anyone had any luck downgrading this card? Just completed my 30k spend on this card and now looking to downgrade to Chase Freedom.

Got an email today (targeted?) for 50K Avios for spending $2K in the first 3 months, plus another 25K avios for spending a total of $15K in the first year. The $95 annual fee is NOT waived in year 1. No bonus if you've gotten a BA bonus in the last 24 months. I applied just now and got "decision pending, wait 7-10 days."

Hi,
I applied last Monday for the 75k BA VISA offer, and got no reply. Icalled in today recon line, and the rep suggested I move some of my credit lines around, which I gladly did. She said she is submitting for final sign off recommending the changes we talked through. Should I be confident I will be approved?
thanks
