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.

Did yours get sorted out? I completed about $21k worth of spend and haven't received any additional bonuses outside of the first 50K Avios. I called Chase and they're saying the only offer associated to my account was 50K Avios with first year AF waived. I'm positive and insisted that I applied for the 100K tiered offer but they won't budge. I applied online, wasn't approved, waited for letter then called recon to get approved. I insisted the offers must have gotten screwed up during the recon call but they said that's not possible. Not sure what choice I have here. I don't have a screenshot of my original app.

When I spent 10K on the card, I got the extra 25K bonus.

(i got the initial bonus 9 mo ago and can hit $15k threshold now with some major spend coming up this month but if this resets the clock i'd rather just wait and get a brand new card 15+ mo from now)

Anyone have recommendations if this card bonus is going to pop back up to 75K or higher?
Tapped out on chase, so figure I might as well grab this...

Do you have to make a payment before the bonus posts? I signed up for the 3k for 50k points and hit the spend the first month. Only the spend miles (3k) are showing up....

Thanks, that could explain it. My final purchase that pushed me over the hump was on the 16th and the statement cycled on the 24th.....

Any experiences with clawbacks on the spending bonus, if a return brings you below the threshold?
Made a refundable flight purchase last year and made the $10k threshold barely with that (for an additional 25k Avios), but ended up not making the flight this week. And now the refund has posted back to the card, so my total spend with that refund would be $9.5k...
Will the 25k bonus get clawed back? The card is already closed, if that matters.
Thanks!

Chase allowed me to transfer that negative balance over to another card (which takes ~24 hours) instead of sending a check.

It's more 50K plus 25K after $10K spent in first year and another 25K after $20K spent in first year.
A bit much of a requirement for me but may work with others.
