Can confirm Chase UA was churnworthy for me - got the bonus again this year. Guess that YMMV.

Do you mean you have gotten the exact same card and points multiple times? B/c that is not the norm.
Or, by churn do you mean you have gone through each of the cards listed above once and continue to get more, but different, chase cards? Since your post count is low i just want to make sure you are not a newbie confusing the word churn.
I'd love to get this BA card twice. So please report back if you get the points on BA twice.

Basically, in the last couple of years, I meet the requirements and keep the card just long enough to get my miles credit then move on to the next one.
My local Chase branch really does not like taking Mint coins for credit card payments. But until they stop giving me the miles I'll keep going.
Maybe I've just been lucky.

Churn in that all those cards were from Chase. I've done United 2x a year apart, and Southwest 2x a year apart. I also have Done Continental, and BA once each.

Exactly what, for example, were the two Southwest cards: both with RR credits and were both cards under your name? A year apart--does that mean you waited a year after you cancelled on Soutwest card and then applied again, and got another Southwest card with RR credits? (I'm picking on SW because I cancelled my Chase SW card a few months ago, and would apply again if, I understand, you have successfully gotten the free r/t flights BOTH times.

Interesting, how exactly did you phrase the question?

I believe income is one significant factor in granting CL's. I have 4 rental properties (with 4 mortgages) and I don't get super high CL's (except from Credit Unions) due to the banks thinking my mortgages are like credit card debt. Their computer models automatically give me lower CL's. With recons, I usually can get decent limits when I explain to a "human" that my rents are greater than income. I usually don't need the high CL's (15-20K+), I just want the nice signup bonuses. 
I got "stung" with Barclay's US Airways card. Got their Plat 10K version instead of 35K. Having to talk to their outsourced CSR's is a major "pain". All they know is to read from their "script". 
My wife gets pretty decent CL's (most credit cards use household income).
I have learned to put "gross" rent (plus my regular wages) in the applications. One time I put "net" rental income & I got a turn down with a Credit Union. On recon with extensive documentation, I got offered a very nice CL.

Have you gotten your bonus yet. Remember that there are two versions of the Chase UA. A regular Visa and a Signature Visa. You can get a bonus for each one. I've done it. But I don't think you can get a bonus more than once on each one. A friend of mine tried and was unsuccessful.

So on the BA website when you do a dummy booking (I don't currently have any BA miles so I can't get past step 3) is the cash & miles price that is displayed an all-in final price...or are fees, taxes, and additional YQ going to be added to the cost later on in the purchasing process?
For example I just priced a Y ticket from WAS-HNL on AA and I am presented with a price of 35,000 miles + $10. I know people are saying YQ is usually not assessed on AA domestic flights so can I safely assume this is indeed the final price?

They are the same card -- it's only a 'name' change!

About a week ago I was targeted for the 50,000 MP Chase Visa. Since I've just been approved for the Continental OP Mastercard I was told that I needed to wait until April 24 to apply for the MP card.
My question is can I apply for the BA and the MP card at the same time on April 24 and get approved? or do I have to wait 60 more days to apply for the BA card?
