I have diligentally read through all these messages and still rather confused. Sorry, but I'm not young enough to keep up with all you brilliant tech types.
My question is - should I cancel my Chase/United Visa card (I've had it since last June) before applying for this BA/Chase card with the 100K offer? It is a fabulous offer for me because I have a very large bill to pay next month which would take care of the "$2,500 transaction" needed to be placed on the card in three months.
I have never had a BA card and my credit score is excellent.
Please advise - thank you.

Is there a minimum credit limit you need for this account? I just got the Chase Hyatt within the last month or so and that had a requirement of 5k minimum that I transfered over from another account (also opened up the Chase Co a month before that, hence the negotiations). I want to apply for this, but don't have more than 2k I can transfer over, maybe 3500 max if I cancel my older cards and take some more from the Co card.
Hopefully no 5k requirement on this too.

Thanks. I am still contemplating ! So, if I get this card and the 100K miles, a return ticket to London on BA would cost 50K miles, plus around $550 taxes and fees plus the $95 for the credit card. Have I got it correct?
Wonder if I can get two tickets with the 100K ? Sorry about the silly question but I have to decide if this card is a good deal before it expires.

Too many recent apps? Need advice.
I'm confused whether I should apply - I need your advice.
Here are my applications so far this year:
1) Feb end - US Airways 35k - Approved for 10k, canceled card.
2) Feb end - SW Chase Visa - 2 free round trips, Approved
3) Mid Mar - Capital One 100k, Approved.
I canceled a UA card (50k, Chase) after I was approved for the SW card. I have a 720+ credit score. Do you think I should apply?
Also - how much would I pay in fees if I intend to use the miles ONLY for domestic (AA) flights? Subject to availability, can I use it for 4 round trips?
Thanks, and good luck to everybody!

Or you could get 1 roundtrip business class ticket for similar taxes/fees.
