https://www.chase.com/personal/credit-cards/british-airways/rewards-redemption/statement-credit

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.

Some of the blogs hinted that this offer might end yesterday, but it looks like it is still up. Anyone when this will end or if?

Any reports recently of people receiving the bonuses, or any reports of not receiving the bonuses after completing the required spend?

Any reasons to keep the BA card?
I have the 100k bonus and have earned the companion cert, doing the same for my wife
May make sense to close and wait 2 more years before applying again.

No benefit to closing before next renewal. Chase measures two years from final bonus posting date, not from account open or close.

Within the past 2 years, I have received the following cards:
1) Chase Preferred, 2) Reserve, and 3) Personal Southwest.
4) Amex Delta Gold and 5) Delta Plat.
6) Barclay's AA Aviator.
I am familiar with Chase 5/24 rule; however, I read this thread (Link which mentioned that the Chase BA was one of the few cards that didn't seem to apply to this rule.
My plan was to apply to the Chase BA 75k promo.
Thoughts/Suggestion/Input?
Thanks in advance....

I applied for myself and was approved tonight.
However, when I also applied for my wife, she received the following message "We have received your request for a Chase credit card. We'll let you know our decision by U.S. mail. This could take up to 30 days."
Should I have her call or wait?
Thanks in advance

If you add an authorized user to this card, will chase give you an extra 5000 Avios/points like they do with a lot of their other cards?

If its not mentioned in the offer; then you will not get 5k for an additional authorized user, and to the best of my knowledge this offer doesn't.
