But I knew I was betting on the come that I could churn it and I crapped out.
I would give it a 90% probability this new 100k offer is not churnable...

Or you could have it terminate in LIS or MAD and catch a cheap flight back and save $300. They do this all the time over in the BAEC forum to avoid the London airport taxes.

I'm in Buenos Aires now thanks to the first promo. As of Feb. there was no fuel surcharge on LAN. I was able to book then Mia-lim (stop)-ipc (Easter island stop)-scl-eze (stop)- lim-Mia for 80,000 miles and $150 for taxes and fees.

In my blog post on the BA offer, I took screenshots of a bunch of different awards so people can see what the miles and taxes are needed on different awards.

Hi, I have read not all the pages up this point (please hold the flames). I read about the 1st 3 pages and the last 3. And have not found the answer i'm looking for.
I have 2 chase cards that are 4 years old. One only has a $200 limit on it. And the other is a business with over 30K on it. Zero balance on both.
My question is two fold: I read the FrugalTravel guy say the 6month waiting period is a myth. And that one could negotiate and simply close out an older card, YMMV. Do I stand a chance?
Also, are you guys getting instant approval online? I got this:
"Thanks for Applying
We have received your application. Our analysts are currently reviewing your application, and our goal is to notify you within 10 days of this application. Notifications are usually sent within this time, but in some circumstances it may take up to 30 days for processing.
Please do not resubmit your application."
Also, I in January 2011 I got 2 Citi cards and last month I got the Business cards for it. I have my AA miles from it.
Also, I just did both the regular and business Capital One cards and have submitted my "matched" miles to them.
Am, I overdoing it? If my numbers are correct I should have 375K miles including the C1 cards but not including this one of course.

So anyone know if you still get the bonus miles (50K+50K) if you only get approved for the Visa Platinum card rather than the Visa Signature card?
You will first be considered for a Visa Signature card. If you do not qualify for that product, you will automatically be considered for a Visa Platinum card, which has different fees, benefits, and credit availability. For pricing details, please see Pricing & Terms. For benefits details, please read your credit card benefits materials which will be mailed after your account is established.

Big question is can people who got this card last time still get bonus this time around? I canceled my BA visa about 4 months ago.

Typically for a domestic flight the taxes are $2.50 per segment. So for a non-stop return flight the total taxes are $5. If you have a one-stop both way, the taxes will likely be $10 total. Still a wonderful deal.
