Chase Offers Ending Soon
Update: There may be just 2 days left to grab some Ink cards with the lowered spend requirements. Nothing confirmed at this point, but that’s the word on the street.

Great card offers don’t stay around forever. These offers are around for a limited time only.
-Chase British Airways. 50,000 bonus Avios for spending $1,000 in 3 months, an additional 25,000 bonus Avios for spending $10,000 in 12 months, and another 25,000 Avios for spending $20,000 in 12 months for up to 100,000 bonus Avios.
Earn 2.5 Avios for every $1 spent on British Airways purchases and 1.25 Avios for every $1 spent on all other purchases. No foreign exchange fees. 10% off paid BA tickets. Every calendar year that you make $30,000 in purchases, you will earn a free companion ticket when you redeem Avios for a flight on British Airways. (If you can swing $30,000 in spending in 2013 on a new card you’d have at least 137,500 Avios and the companion cert) $95 annual fee.
You can read more about Avios in this post (and don’t miss the related links there either). Along with United and American it’s one of my favorite currencies due to 4,500 mile one-way award tickets, no expedite/close-in fees, an awesome infant lap child policy that saved us $1,000 when we flew to Argentina in first class earlier this year, and now surcharge free awards to Israel for 30K each way.

The Ink business cards used to require $10,000 in spending but were lowered to $5,000.
Getting 2 cards that requires a total $10,000 in 3 months isn’t all that daunting.
-You can load $5,000 of Vanilla Reloads (that can be bought on a credit card at stores like CVS) on Bluebird per month and from there you can pay off your credit card bill. You can also load Vanilla Reloads onto Vanilla Debit cards and you can take out a cash advance (with no maximum limits!) from your Vanilla Debit card for free. Plus of course there’s Amazon Payments which lets you send and receive $1,000 per account per calendar month for free from your credit card.
-Or just stock up gift cards to places like gas stations, airlines, clothing stores, Amazon.com, and much much more from an office supply stores to meet a spend threshold while earning 5 points per dollar.
-You can combine strategies by buying a $500 gift card from Office Depot for $4.95 and cash it out via Amazon Payments (see this post for the trick to do that). Buy $10,000 of those on 2 new Ink cards and you’re looking at 150,000 points for a total cost of under $100 for some $2,800 worth of miles.
-Or you can buy prepaid gift cards and just use them for your everyday spending, thereby earning 5 points per dollar (less a small fee that amounts to the value of perhaps 0.5 points per dollar) everywhere!
