The companion ticket can only be used on BA flights, but avios work wonders on AA or LAN. The BA card also has a Chip & Signature feature, so it works much better than magnetic strip cards in Europe and Asia. You missed out on a huge sign up bonus, but it is currently 50,000 avios after $1000 spent in 3 months (still not too shabby).

I think the 1.5x miles on all purchases for the Chase United Club Visa is one of the best rewards for general spending.
With your high spends though, you could apply for and meet the spend requirements for several CCs, then put the rest on the United Club Visa.

It pops up every year or so, but I don't expect to see the 100,000 avios offer until 2013 (and probably with a different spend requirement -- this year's offer was 100,000 avios after $20,000 spent).

If a similar offer comes up again I will strongly consider the BA card. Being based out of BOS we can benefit from the BOS-DUB deal for 25K Avios RT.
