Topic Wiki

This is the thread where you can ask any random question you have. Feel free to ask even the most basic questions that you otherwise might be embarrassed to ask. This is the thread for beginners, so veterans here will treat you nicely. Ask a beginner's Q in some other threads and no guarantee of that same treatment. ;)
People here want to help, so just have some patience, follow the tips below and hopefully someone will help you when they have a chance.

If you looking for a particular thread you once saw and can't find it, this is not the place to ask. Check out Help Me Find It and ask there.

How to ask a question in this thread:
Click the blue reply button at the top or bottom of the page, type your question, and click post!

Some helpful tips for eliciting answers from other members:
- Keep your question short and precise. No one wants to read a megillah.
- The more questions you ask in one post, the less likely any will be answered. People are willing to answer a question or two, but if you ask all the questions that apply to your particular issue, you're expecting to be spoonfed. Members don't like holding out the spoon, so ask accordingly.

Is it bad to close my SW card and BA card on the same day? Or it doesn't make any difference?

sorry- that's what I meant- close and transfer the CL to a different card. Can that be done on the same day? anything suspicious about that?

Read the article. It's very simple. If you have a specific question ask it.

Here comes the update:

Thank you for contacting Chase regarding the enrollment
bonus offered on your British Airways credit card account.

We reviewed your account and see you recently opened a new
British Airways credit card account, which offers Variable
bonus Avios after you spend $2000 in the first 3 months
your account is open. Unfortunately, you will not be able
to receive the bonus Avios since you received a similar
offer in the past. Here is additional information to help
explain the enrollment bonus:

?The terms and conditions associated with the credit card
indicate that the one-time offer is only for first-time
British Airways cardmembers with a new account.
?Since you received 50,000 bonus Avios on your ........
2014 billing statement with your previous account ending
in ...., you are not considered a first time cardmember.
?Based on this information, this new account is not able
to receive the enrollment bonus Avios.

If you need any other assistance, you can send us a secure
message. We appreciate your business and thank you for
choosing Chase.

Thank you,

Rosa Rodriguez
Customer Service Specialist

1-800-436-7927
