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.

Total Avios=125K.

this is what ba sent me-- to me it is a 50k offer
There's no better time than now to apply for the British Airways Visa Signature® card¹ to start earning bonus Avios.

• You will get 50,000 bonus Avios after $2,000 in purchases within the first 3 months of account opening.²

• 25,000 bonus Avios after $10,000 in purchases within the first year of account opening.²

• Plus an additional 25,000 bonus Avios after you make an additional $10,000 in purchases also within the first year of account opening.²

Together that's 100,000 bonus Avios, which is enough for a round-trip business class award flight.³ Taxes, fees, and carrier charges are approximately $1,250 per adult in business class based on travel from Seattle to London.⁴

Need to spend $20K.
Better off spending for other signups or on 5x cards.

+1.
I thought that he was referring to the anniversary bonus.

Isn't it easier to just churn the 50k in less than a year?

But then it's at the expense of other cards.

I tried sm'ing and asking for the anniversary card bonus, on my account and then my wife's.

We both got the same response a few minutes apart from the same guy, that they would be happy to match me to the 100k offer  :D, only a different offer that was the 50k after 20k in spending  :(

Oh well. I replied asking for the other offer instead, I guess we'll see what he says. Maybe if I have time I'll try calling...

"Thank you for taking the time to contact us again in

Dear

Thank you for taking the time to contact us again in
regards to the enrollment bonus.

I regret we are unable to honor your request since the
enrollment incentive that includes 50,000 bonus Avios
after the first year anniversary is only available through
an instant credit application offered when going through
the purchasing process for a British Airways flight. This
application channel was not used when you applied for this
account.

If you like, we can offer you the current British Air
enrollment offer.

The qualification requirements of this offer are different
than those of the enrollment incentive associated with
this account.

The enrollment incentive associated with the completed
application is 50,000 bonus Avios after exceeding $1,000
in purchases within the first three months.

The 100,000 bonus Avios offer includes the following:

? 50,000 bonus Avios after $2,000 in purchases within the
first three months
? 25,000 bonus Avios after $10,000 in purchases within the
first year
? 25,000 bonus Avios after $20,000 in purchases within the
first year

Please contact us after exceeding $10,000 in purchases and
at that time we will add an additional 25,000 bonus Avios.
Then after you exceed an additional $10,000 in purchases
($20,000 total) you may contact us and we will add the
remaining 25,000 bonus Avios.

If you have any further questions, please reply using the
Secure Message Center.


Thank you,

Gary Pestka

Need to spend $20K.
Better off spending for other signups or on 5x cards.

True, but since the spending is over 1 year, it's something to work on in between AoR's
I remember when a coke was a nickel, and you could buy VRs in OD.

More accurately, after you get the 50K for $2K spend there is a 50K bonus for spending $18,000 (2.78 bonus points per dollar spent).
Gotta weigh that against other options and 5x earning cards besides for other signup bonuses.

Thank you for your inquiry regarding this British Airways

part of your enrollment incentive. We have issued a
$95.00 annual fee credit, which will appear on the next
billing statement.

Regarding the enrollment bonus. The qualification
requirements of the s offer you requested are different
than those of the enrollment incentive associated with
this account.

The enrollment incentive associated with the completed
application is

? 50,000 bonus Avios after $2,000 in purchases within the
first three months
? 25,000 bonus Avios after $10,000 in purchases within the
