The best British Airways miles giveaway is back! You can get 100,000 free air miles when you sign up for a Visa Signature card cobranded by the airline and Chase. This is the same great deal that was briefly offered last year, then mysteriously yanked.
As they say on those late-night TV infomercials, don't delay ... British Airways is ending this offer on May 6, 2011. Find out more at www.britishairways.com/travel/creditcards/public/en_us?
The offer is this: 50,000 free air miles upon your first purchase with the new card, then another 50,000 miles when you charge a total of $2,500 within 3 months of activating the card. In other words, enough miles for two coach tickets from the U.S. to the U.K. and back. Or a single round-trip in Business Class.
As with any reward ticket, you're free to choose to fly anywhere on British Airways' flight routes. This includes almost anywhere in Europe -- Switzerland, France, Germany, you name it. Because BA is a member of the OneWorld Alliance, you can also redeem miles on any of those partner airlines, including Iberia, JAL, American, Cathay Pacific, Qantas and LAN
This credit card comes with a yearly fee of $95, still a bargain for all those miles. But inspect your new card carefully when it comes. It may not be the one you're expecting. Chase reserves the right to issue you a Platinum card (with "different fees, benefits and credit availability") if it doesn't think you qualify for the el primo deal. If so, you can trash it without obligation. My friends who have applied -- 6 of them, in fact -- have all gotten the Signature card with the 100,000 free miles.
If you have an active British Air Visa card, you cannot get in on this opportunity. It's for first-time new accounts only. You must be an Executive Club member as well, but can join just before applying for the card.
Some awards on British Airways "cost" more than on other airlines, and its fees and surcharges on free tickets are higher. But in my experience getting award tickets is easier on BA, and so are free upgrades. It flies out of many U.S. cities.
