Chase has great signup bonuses on its three Avios earning credit cards. All three offers are the same and you can earn 100,000 Avios with the Chase Aer Lingus, the Chase Iberia, and the Chase British Airways Visa Signature card. Benefits are slightly different on each card.

Warning
There’s some risk involved since the spending requirement is rather large. Too many recent credit cards and large spending spikes have been causing reviews and subsequently shutdowns from Chase. There’s really no golden rule here, besides proceeding with caution. If you do apply for these cards it could be a good idea to increase your spending gradually, instead of charging $20K in a month.
Guru’s Wrap-Up
These are offers that we have seen in the past for the Chase British Airways card, but there’s now more opportunities since Chase offers three Avios earning cards. These are good offers for those who can make use of Avios. You get a total of 120K Avios if you go for the full bonus on each of the cards. You have a full year to complete the spending, so it should be out of reach for many. These cards don’t fall under the 5/24 rule so many readers should be able to apply and get the bonus. But as mentioned above, Chase has been getting tougher on churners so beware.
