In the case of my husband, four days since he applied. Today I suspected he had been approved because he received an e-mail advising of his new British Airways account number. I called the Chase 800 number and sho nuff, he was approved! And thank goodness he didn't even have to call to provide more info or move a credit line. I don't know how long it will take to receive the card; I'm not going to fret unless a couple weeks go by without it. However -- YMMV.

I applied like on April 10th with instant approval and my card is "suppose to arrive" in the next 2-days. What ever ridiculous if you ask me...

I had instant approval for my wife and for me and our cards arrived with one week. I don't know how they can get this offer to pencil out. Could have kicked myself for missing the first offer a year or so ago, so pounced in this offer immediately. They made it SO easy. At about the same time my wife received an offer from Citi-Bank for 50,000 AAdvantage miles when she charges $4,000 in four months.

I got charged for $95 as annual membership fee already. I received the card 2 weeks back and was not anticipating this until next year. That was quick. Anyway of waiving it? Looks like it is only me so far.

Chase will expediite if you ask them to... + Chase update
Chase Data Point:
For the record, I have now been approved for 3 chase cards in ~ 90 days. IHG 80K, Co 50K and now BA 100K! On Co I was asked to move credit lines around, and on BA I was asked to close my 1.5 year old United card which I don't use anyway. I called the reconsideration # 1 day after applying.
Thanks Chase, FT, Mint, and the great blogs of the community! :-)

annual fee
This card comes with an annual fee. On some cards, it says First year annual fee waved..That is not the case for this card and, for example, the AMEX Platinum.

new trend?
Someone said here that the payment of the annual fee on the BA card triggers the first 50k bonus.....makes sense in a way.

100K miles for $95 seems like a pretty good deal to me. Since they never said it was first year waived I don't know why you would expect them to waive it.
I applied about 3 weeks ago and still no card. Was not immediately approved. After 1 week I called to check status. Rep suggested moving credit line from my UA MP card. Which I agreed to do. He told me he was not able to authorize the card himself but that "another pair of eyes" would have to approve it. That seems to have been done because my UA card limit has been reduced as we had discussed. But still no card and it does not show up online. I'm not in a giant hurry though. So I figure it will get here when it gets here.
