Maximize your miles this spring!!! :)
British Airways is offering their 100,000 miles offer with Chase. $95 annual fee is NOT waived for the first year now and you have to spend $2500 to get the second set of 50,000 miles. This card has no foreign transaction fee, which makes it an idea card to travel with.
Other than that, everything is the same - so hurry, only available for a limited time.

Use card 1 time = 50,000 British Airways miles
Spend a total of $2500 in 90 days = another 50,000 miles
If you want to buy coins go to the US Mint Website - HERE and buy 4 packs of coins ($1000)...you can do this every 10 days if you'd like....Coins are shipped by UPS, free of charge.
Continental Airlines:
Continental will stop to exist by the end of the year - they have an excellent credit card available until May 15th so I suggest you apply for this one as well.
Go here: http://www.continental.com/web/en-US/content/products/chase/continental.aspx?&offer=OPP50
Sign up for card - First year annual fee is waived - after that $85.
Use card to buy something really cheap or replace your united card with this card, after the first time using it you will get 50,000 Continental Miles. These will convert to United miles on 1/1/2012.
I would sign up for one card, wait a few days and then sign up for the other one. Do the British airways one first since it gives you more miles....
If you don't want to spend actual money, buy coins.
150,000 miles - total actual costs $95...not bad. That's 0.06 cents/mile
