Downgrades: Chase offers a no fee BA card. It's not available for new applications but can be accessed via a downgrade from the standard, $95 a year card. When the annual fee comes due you can downgrade/ product change to the British Airways rewards credit card with no annual fee and thereby preserve your card number, credit line and Average Age of Account. It's unclear whether the fee free card will get the new perks (August 2019) of an award fee rebate. Perhaps someone with the fee free card can make a dummy booking and update us here at FT.
Q. Can I apply for this card and earn the bonus after doing so previously? How long do I have to wait before reapplying? Should I call if my application is held for further review and not approved instantly?
A. See the wiki and related discussion in Applying for Chase Credit Cards, 2017 onward
Q. Once I meet the card's initial spending requirement, how soon will I receive my signup bonus points?A. Bonus points typically accrue at the close of the billing period in which you incur the corresponding charges. Points should appear in your hotel/airline account within a few days thereafter.
NOTE: If you complete your required spending in the last 7-10 days of the statement period, the bonus may not post until the following month's statement, even if the regular per-dollar points post on the first statement. This is normal behavior for Chase and is not worth a phone call.

I thought all the past offers incurred a $95 first year annual fee. This offer includes the first year annual fee waived.

In the past (as recently as one month back, when I did my AOR) the first year fee was not waived.. they have now waived it till 30th September.. and while the emails made me feel that it's targeted, a quick click on chase website confirmed that it's an open offer..

I've been holding off on applying for the BA card, but will likely pull the trigger during my next churn with no 1st year annual fee now.

The previous standard offer was 50k / 1k spend in 90 days. So for another 1k spend now you get the AF waived.

I think the chance at an extra 50k (if another 100k bonus happens) is worth risking the $95 annual fee waive, so I'm gonna wait =)
