Last time this deal came up, people told me to let them know if it happened again. You only have a day or so to get this deal.

For the third time, British Airways is offering a very good deal, 100,000 frequent flier miles when you get a Chase Visa credit card. A few of us did this last time and are quite happy. While British Air may not fly where you want to go, their partners are Qantas, Japan Airlines, American Air and so on! I got my passport and plan upon going to perhaps Australia, New Zealand or Fiji.

The deal is that that sign up for the credit card, pay the $95 annual fee (up from $75 last time), upon first use of the card you get 50,000 miles and when you spend $2500 in the first 3 months you get the second 50,000 miles. The consensus is that you should do this in the first 70 days after approval, not after receipt of the card. You don’t want to take a chance a particular charge comes in late.
