BA 100K Chase card offer is back
The offer is back for its third annual outing, although the spend requirements are a tad more hefty than before (still, there are ways and means).
Details here.
It's actually worth spending that much on it anyway as a $30K annual spend gets you the 2-4-1 voucher which effectively doubles your miles. The resulting 137,500 miles + voucher would get two people from Chicago (and points east) to Europe in First Class or in Business from the West Coast (all plus taxes and fees).
Details here.

Have you any advise on spending miles? I've looked a few times for various destinations at various times of the year and always get the 'no flights available' message. It's very annoying.

Thanks for posting this, I signed up last year but hubby was refused. Try again this year for him.

- Miles to upgrade (WT+ to Club World) BOS-LHR-NCE
- Club World redemption BOS-LHR-FRA
- AA First Class redemption BDL-DFW-SAN (open jaw, return from SFO)
Booked but not yet traveled:
- First Class redemption YVR-LHR-DUS (one way)
- Club World redemption MAN-LHR-BOS
I think being flexible on dates and also traveling a route that has 3 flights per day has helped.

Re: BA 100K Chase card offer is back
Theres a link in the article that goes to the avios website - everything on there seems to be set up for UK customers. Do you need to register as such, or are they (avios) OK with US based customers? I used to be a BA shareholder, and lost a lot of perks once I was no longer UK based.....

Re: BA 100K Chase card offer is back
For those interested, here's the first of what promises to be a multi-part series of mini-articles written by a travel blogger on how best to use BA miles.
The guy's a bit of a tosser, but he does have a reputation for taking the often-complex characteristics of airline and hotel programmes and explaining them in a much simpler way:
