Not much downside in applying for the BA card. If you get rejected, you can call Chase and they will likely move some of your credit line from the CO card to the new BA card so their total exposure to you stays the same. This has worked for me a few times with Chase.

The fuel surcharge on AA went into effect in about the last week. I don't think it effects central america, south america, or domestic. At least not yet. Try booking a trip to Europe or Asia and watch your jaw drop! A r/t to Europe costs me over $440 per person today, using AA partner only. The minimum fuel surcharge to Europe using AA is now $400 per person, plus other fees.

Now the dilemma. I was going to take the in-laws to Europe in BC next year and use my miles. Now with this, I want them to contribute 200,000 miles.
Now to figure out a way for them to do this without letting the cat out of the bag.
I will do all the spending and pay the bill for them. I just need them for the card and the family account. They know I work the system but are very anti-credit card.
It doesn't help that the closest BA or AA airport is 3 hours away.

"This one-time bonus offer is valid only for first-time cardmembers with new accounts. Previous and existing cardmembers/accounts are not eligible for this bonus offer."
Just read the T&C. I guess no love for us existing cardholders. What a sad day!

I'm pretty new to the FT game, nevermind signing up for credit cards. I did do the last awesome AA credit card round up and ended up with 2 personals and 1 business and 2 personals for my wife. Thinking of applying for this one...
So if we both get cards for 100K miles, just look at the AA partner award chart ( http://www.aa.com/i18n/disclaimers/a...rtnerChart.jsp ) and we can use their miles on AA flights with no issues by calling up someone?
In essence we get 100K "AA" miles that don't count towards lifetime or anything, but can be used as if they are "AA" nonetheless for domestic or international travel for the price of $75 + $2,500 spend in 3 months...
Thanks for the help!
