pro-rate the annual fee cancelation ????
Here is a related question I hope someone can knowledgeably answer....
My wife has this BA Chase Visa card with the 100K promotion in 2010, and in this past January 2011 she paid the $75 annual fee. If she were to cancel the card today, is Chase obligated to have to pro-rate the $75 and give her back, say approx $50 ? Or is the $75 completely unrecoverable? I ask because she got alot of the new AA and CO deals and doesn't need the card.

Applied last Tuesday, was not approved immediately, but when I rang the phone number on Thursday (? I think it was) it told me I was, with a $17.5k limit.
I'm actually kind of surprised, since I've only been in the country 18 months and they apparently pulled my Experian score which was the lowest (~640). OTOH, I have a pretty good income and haven't had so much as a late library book while we've been here. Citi did knock me back for an AAdvantage Mastercard I applied for on the same day, however.
Card arrived today (28th). Between a new bike (been putting it off since I applied) and a few other bits & pieces I should have my $2,500 spent by Sunday.
Be interesting to see how long it takes the points to show up.

OK, I just applied. Had it autofill from my online Chase account (I have the checking from the CO deal and cards from CO, UA). Approved instantly. Now, my only concern is I don't have a BA account, so I am assuming I will be assigned one? Or was i stupid in not setting one up.
Now the decision to sign up my wife.... I'll do that later. If they both go through I'll be up to close to 700,000 mile thanks to flyertalk

Why not? There are many other benefits for which you're presumably paying the $95 annual fee. Amex will prorate the $450 annual fee on the Platinum card, which comes with a 50,000 MR sign-up bonus and many other benefits far more valuable to a frequent traveler than a Signature Visa.

The only exception would be within certain number of days of paying annual fee, you can still cancel it. I believe it's usually 30 days but not sure.

However, you can combine your wife's miles and yours for one big award but in order to do that you have to set up what they call a household account.

quick question
I have a quick question regarding the usage of miles. My wife and I both got the CC and we live in PDX. I know AS partners with both BA and CX. If we went from PDX to Bali and we connected in LAX or SFO on AS but the flight was code-shared as a CX flight would that still count as one partner airline?

Just an FYI... 700,000 miles where? The BA miles are not combinable with AA and the BA miles are only good for Milesaver awards. Not Anytime awards. Things I have found out since jumping on this bandwagon.
