Triple Miles on Chase BA Card
Just received in today's mail: an announcement to the effect that triple miles will be awarded for 'eligible' purchases on my BA VISA, 10K cap on bonus pm. Effective dates September 1-October 31 2010.
No mention if the 'triple miles' means 3m/$1 OR triple the miles I usually receive ie 3x1.25m/$1. Guess I'll have to get that clarified.
Looks like a targeted offer - my account number is specifically mentioned. My lady wife, who has a BA card of her own, didn't receive the offer.
Darn - just as I was working on the $10K target on my new Citi AA card.

Evidently it's targeted & "Unfortunately I am unable to enroll this account into this promotion, since you were not selected to participate"
Timeframe: September 1, 2010 through October 31, 2010 bonus miles promotion.
They didn't clarify if its 3 miles per $ or 3.75 & 7.5 miles per $ (non-BA & BA spend)

Who is targeted
For those lucky enough to be targeted, can you please give us an idea of your usage of this card? (I.e., spend a lot every month, spent to get the bonus then abandoned usage, etc.)
I hope I'm targeted but there is really isn't reason I should be...just qualified for the 30K Companion Pass and will now discontinue use of the card, but Chase doesn't know that.

Just got the mailing today with terms the same as everyone else. I've put 2 semesters of tuition on there since getting it last November, as well as using it for the 10k promotion from April-June. Working towards the 30k spend as well, so it's been my backup card for when I don't have other thresholds to meet (which, hasn't been very often this year).
Edit: I sent a secure message to Chase asking for clarification on # of miles/$ earned. I'll report back when I get a response.

Quite regularly. I'm right at the cusp of hitting the $30K target.
Once one's $30K is in the bag, the inducement to keep using one's BA card is lessened. Could it be the folks at Chase/BA are throwing out a sweetener to keep one using their card?
I recently acquired a AAAdvantage 100K card also, with its 12 month/ $10K target, and opened an AA account at the same time. I wonder if, by some mysterious means, Chase/BA has learned of this, and has targeted me as a means of competing for my spend.
Just conjecturing.

It wouldn't really be that mysterious - all they'd have to do is pull a credit report (which I believe they can do soft pulls every so often without notification) and the new Citi accounts would show up.
I also recently opened Citi/AA accounts.
Also, Chase confirmed what grlmopz said upthread: 3.75 miles/$1

So - if one is still working on one's companion pass, effectively 5 miles/$1.
Might be worth getting after one's Christmas shopping early, during the promo period!
