Q going for my next AOR should i skip BA and wait for the 20k offer?
It has been a long time since the last offer, but if you can fill in that slot with a different card and do not really need the miles, hold out.

I just tried getting that.
Sent SM to Chase. I was denied the extra 25K + 25K.
Only got the 50K when first sign up.

There haven't been reports of the offer being matched in about a year.

I last got the card in March 2013.  I got the 50K bonus for the initial spending, then the additional 25K avios for 10K of spending, then the last 25K bonus for an additional 10K of spending posted July 10, 2015.
Am I eligible for the regular new card bonus of 50K avios for 3K spending?  Or do I have to wait until after July10 or make a new FF#?

How long does it take from when your statement posts until the points show up in your BA account?

I just got a letter from chase that says :  after careful consideration, we decided to close your credit card account on April 27 2015  because our affiliate ending it's banking relationship with you.

Anybody else ?

So Chase kicked you out and subsequently cancelled your CC's and you are asking if thats standard procedure?

No I have not sold miles.

I had all my chase accounts closed down about a year ago. They did not like how I spent my money on my cards.  But this was a new account. And it has been open for five months with no issues.

I got something similar from ANA.  You have to buy first or business class to get the bonus points on ANA.


What are the details of this offer?  It seems to allow any class of travel.

You did no MS, you never sold miles, and yet you got shutdown twice?

Can you tell us what you do that's weird and wild? There's something that you're doing.

Signed up for this card about 4-5 months ago.  Already received bonus and have since never used the card.  I never fly BA and don't otherwise use any of the benefits of the card itself.  Even though AF doesn't come up for 8 months, is there any reason to keep this open until that time?  Or should I move credit line (or downgrade -- can you downgrade this card?), and get the churn clock started asap?
