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.

There is no business version of the BAEC card. Chase issues only five business cards, all are listed here:

I have it in writing. It is not surprising at all as Chase cannot negative change the card for the first 12 months, so I will earn the 1.25x rate for the first 12 months, then see it drop to 1x about the time that the annual fee posts.

Would one of you who signed up for this offer please post a followup after your first statement so we can update the wiki as necessary? Thanks.

Hi everyone, I applied for the BA card more than 24 months ago (about three years ago) and still own the card by paying annual fee. With the new offer now, can I really for the card since I received bonus more than 24 months ago?
Or I should first cancel the card then apply? If so how long should I wait so it doesn't seem like I just can cancel the card and then reapply right away? Thanks for any tip and comment. Good luck and have a great day
