Chase British Airways: 100,000 Point Bonus After $7,500 In Spend (Aer Lingus & Iberia)

Update 9/3/25: Available again. 

The Offer

Direct link to offers: British Airways | Aer Lingus | Iberia

  • Chase is offering 100,000 points on the Chase British Airways card after $7,500 in spend within the first six months

Our Verdict

We once saw a bonus that was 100,000 after $5,000 in spend but we haven’t seen that for multiple years. Other recent bonuses include 125,000 points for $20,000 spend or 75,000 points for $5,000 spend. I do think this bonus is competitive and probably the best points:spend ratio we have seen for a long time, so if you think it’s worth using a 5/24 slot for this card then I’d recommend signing up and will add it to our best credit card bonus page.

  • I find the best use of Avios is to South Africa via Doha on Qatar Airways. Or if you're in the UK to Cape Town on BA. Each booking business class tix.

    Also useful for EU flights to Dublin or Madrid from US cities.

  • These days the cash fuel surcharges are really high on BA from the US. If you try to bok any AA metal they usually change a much higher rate for overseas trips. I dont use Iberia so I cant comment there. I dont think this is worth a Chase 5/24 slot .If they didnt have 5/24, maybe for some this is ok.

  • Got 90k Avios years and years ago. Extended it multiple times since they expire after a couple years unless you shop their portal or take some other action. Flying through LHR adds huge $$$ to any ticket. Booking AA through Avios partnership would only ever let me reserve Basic economy back of plane seats, non-upgradable, only on 1/100 available AA flights. Transfering to Aer Lingus, etc, never worked. Ugh.

  • Pass, Avios is now worse than skypesos after endless devaluations. Not even transfer bonus can fix it.

    • lollllllllllll not even close.

      Avios are amazing. They take a bit of creativity sometimes, but I routinely get thousands and thousands of dollars of value.

    • They are not toally worthless to me for Inter European flights. But Iw ould not get this car. Merely use AMEX MR to transfer. On occasion they have 25% bonuses anyway.

    • i think Avios the best now. 40K +$150 US/EU + $150 fees on Iberia's new planes either way. Or 50K + $150 either way biz on Aer Lingus's new planes. BA is the bad deal.

  • Trying to decide between this and the SW offer. This one gets me international points, SW gets me domestic points + CP. Someone help lol
