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.
SM Chase before and/or after getting the card and they will match to the offer to get 50,000 bonus Avios for spending $2,000, another 25,000 bonus Avios after you make $10,000 in purchases within the first year of account opening., and another 25,000 bonus Avios after you make an additional $10,000 in purchases also within the first year of account opening.
Total bonus Avios for $20K spend=100,000
Total Avios for base spending at 1.25 Avios per dollar spent=25K.
Total Avios=125K.

Does anyone have a screenshot of the 100K BA offer? I was told that it's somewhere in thread, but I cannot find it.

Thanks

I also got matched about 2 weeks ago but I believe they sometimes have easier spend requirements. CMIIW.
Been many years since the 100K didn't need $20K spend.

I sent them this:
"Hi,
A friend of mine just told me he got this same card with an offer for 100,000 Avios. I only received 50,000. Can you please match me to the 100k offer?
Thanks"

They replied that it was no longer a valid offer. So I wrote back:
"I know someone personally that was just matched to the 100,000 offer!"

Got a message today confirming that they will match me to 100k for 20k spend. No screenshot necessary.

Either way it was pre-Avios.  No need to offer that again.

The 100K they offer.

It's just the spend has increased, along with the tide of the times.

They don't except via SM if you're lucky.

Either way I'd look at it as a 50K signup bonus and then an extra couple miles per dollar spent through $20K...

+$18,000 = +72,500 miles or 4.0278 miles/dollar. Not too shabby, eh gov'ner?

Not shabby at all, but I don't consider a card with a $20K spend to be a true signup bonus. More like a spend bonus.

Sure, I hear you.

I mean, you can look at all signup bonuses with a spend requirement as ridiculously good spend bonuses if you want: $2,000 spend on this card = 52500 Avios = 26.25 Avios/dollar :)

Incidentally, it looks like the $8,000 after the first $2,000 would be 4.375 Avios/dollar and the final $10,000 would be 3.75 Avios/dollar (still very good).

But if you spend yet another $10,000 you get a single Travel Together ticket. :)

Arguably you should do that.
But at the lower thresholds you don't have to as you know it will be lucrative.  It's the higher ones where that comes into play.

But if you spend yet another $10,000 you get a single Travel Together ticket. :)
Which makes for great toilet paper incidentally.
