I had them waive the AF and confirm me with the 100K offer.

In their response, they mentioned i should reach out to them after i meet each spending tier. Shouldn't they be setup to do it automatically? Anyone else get that?

I also got the same thing for my first go round on the UMPE and it went in automatically - didn't have to actually get in touch again.

Hope for the same, but would rather not have to think about it.

I'm sure it'll be on your mind since you're In this for this for the miles

I know it will be on my mind. It is nice to just worry about the spend only and not make sure extra miles post.

I was planning a 3BM with Chase this week but BA wasn't one of my 3. With the possibility of getting 100K after 20K spend, definitely very attractive. If I apply this week, you think still hope of getting them to match?

I believe they match within 90 days of offer.

SM. Calling almost never works IME.

Is it better to provide a snapshot of the offer right away or just reference the offer that you want to be matched to?

Referencing usually works.

I've SM'ed for matching on different cards and was never asked for screenshot of the offer.

The link I applied for only offered 50k, can I SM for a match of offers?

If I had this card about 2 years ago, got the BA Avios points, and closed it - now recently I opened a new one with a new BA Avios number, yet since they recognized the same name on both the old and new Avios accounts, they merged the new Avios account into the old one.
Will I still get the sign-up bonus?
Thanks.

Yes.

Thanks, I hope you're right.
Do you know that from personal experience or is this common knowledge?

From the Wiki:

************************
SM Chase after getting the card and they will often waive the $95 yearly fee for the first year. Results vary.
************************

What should be written in the SM - that there is a fee free offer out there to be matched to or just as a courtesy please waive the AF?

"Hi, i saw there is an offer with the AF waived, can i be matched?"

Match worked without problem for the 100k. Thanks MP!

If I want to apply for Chase BA card, do I need to create new BA account if last time I had Chase BA card was 4 years ago when they offered 100K?
