YMMV (since Aug. '14, no one on this thread has reported successfully getting a better offer than the regular 50k (AF waived) offer linked above):
SM Chase before and/or after getting the card and they will often waive the $95 yearly fee for the first year.

I got the BA card last September and a month later when the 100k offer came out I requested a match via SM. They said they agree to match it but since the last 50k is dependent on spend, I should SM them after hitting the threshold. Now I SM them and they say they can't find the OM.
Duh, SMs get deleted after 3(4?) months.
Is there anything to do?

ETA: the only documentation I have is the e-mail saying there is an SM in my inbox regarding Rewards Inquiry
UPDATE: after various HUCA, TA, & SMA I was told to fax in the notification emails. Now they say they found the SMs

mazel tov ! That Chase couldn't find the sm to begin with is pretty sick but at least it ended well.

Not with accounts attached to FF programs. It usually takes a couple of days but it's about 2 weeks already.

Mine (attached to FF#) appeared the next day. The card took significantly longer but July 4th happened in the middle so that always affects things... 2 weeks definitely doesn't sound normal.

A month is fine also, just be careful that when you create a new BA number that the info is very different from your original one.

Can you explain what you mean by different info? If I had a second BA account that I made months ago would that work or I need a new one?

It would be fine as long as all the info is different BA seems to be more Makpid about duplicate accounts than UA.

You may have an issue getting the bonus again if you use that account. Maybe create a 3rd account. FTR this is not from personal experience but rather from reading up on it.

No that should stay the same obviously. What you should change is phone email address etc.
