Statement closed yesterday (May 12), and online PDF statement shows 100K has transferred to BAEC. Miles have not shown up on BAEC account yet, so it seems that Chase is posting miles as soon as the billing cycle closes, and takes a couple of days to hit BAEC.

I got the BA Exec Club Welcome email with my account number, no PIN, this morning. Just called Chase to see if I can get my CC rushed now that my account was setup with BA and they told me I am still pending, even though I called the same line yesterday and was told I was approved and what my credit limit would be.
Story keeps changing. I do not know who or what to believe.
I am just going to wait another week and hope my CC arrives safely(with 100k promo intact).

I was originally declined for the card when speaking to the CSR rep the day after my application for too many new cards (6 in 6 weeks...1 Chase), and then I called a different CSR, and he re-considered, and sent it for processing.
Called several more times, "processing".
Sent a secure message to Chase through my account for the Continental Card telling them I really wanted the card and needed to know if I was approved b/c I am overseas and won't be home for 4 weeks.
The next day I received an email from British Airways Executive Club with my pin.
The day after - my login id.
Today a message back from Chase with GREAT NEWS:
"Please note that your request for a Visa Platinum British Airways card has been approved. A letter has been sent which includes more detailed information."
SWEET! Data point - 2 Chase cards approved within 9 weeks of each other.

Another data point.
Statement closed 5/11 and 1st 50K showed up on BA's website today (5/13). Didn't meet the $2500 spending requirement yet so I may have to wait til next billing cycle closes to get the other 50K. Or maybe it'll just show up after reaching $2500. Guess I'll know when I know.

When you call to activate, the CSR will tell you. Mine wouldn't shut up for anything. It was clear she was reading a script and short of hanging up on her, there was no way to get out of the conversation and end it.

51k posted on my account...The other 50k should be coming after the next billing cycle!
I was so pissed when I missed this deal the last time.
Was your CSR from the Philippines? When me and my activated our cards, it was clear that the person on the other line was in the Philippines (I can say that because I was born there...And I know what their English sounds like).
And yes, that phone call dragged for a while...
