Get BCH from blockchain.info after fork

I had a fraction of BTC on blockchain.info before the 1st of August and I didn't touch them at all afterwards.

I never got my private keys (nor the 12 words) from my blockchain.info wallet (or if I did god knows where they are).

Question: if I try to get my private keys (bip39) now will they be the same so that I can get BCH following this guide http://www.coinpurveyor.com/how-to-claim-bitcoin-cash-from-blockchain-wallet/?

Thanks

Note: if you instead kept your Bitcoin on Coinbase they stated that you'll get your BCH on 1st Jan 2018. – Ga Sacchi – 2017-08-11T12:13:33.173

Yes.

Haven't looked at those guides in particular, but I was able to redeem BCH from a blockchain.info wallet by exporting my private keys following this guide: https://bl4nkcode.info/bitcoin/how_to_export_blockchain_wallet_private_key, and then importing them into Electron-Cash.

Blockchain.info supports this now. Go to https://blockchain.info/wallet/#/settings/info Settings-general page and scroll to the Bitcoin Cash section. I was able to recover my amounts completely.

Blockchain.info now has BCH support. You can view your BCH balance under Settings -> General.

They have some information about this on the Blockchain Support Center: Bitcoin Cash (BCH).

When logging into your Blockchain wallet you'll receive a notification like this:

From here, if you navigate to Settings -> General and scroll to the bottom, you'll see the following:

Upon clicking 'Show Bitcoin Cash Balance' you'll be shown a dialog message telling you what Bitcoin Cash is, how it's different from Bitcoin and a few other bits of useful info. At the bottom of this dialog box is the following button:

Upon clicking this button you'll be shown another dialog box containing your BCH balance and its current value in your wallet's primary currency.

Here you'll have the option to:

Keep Bitcoin Cash - Keep it in your Blockchain wallet, available to view at any time under Settings -> General.
Exchange Bitcoin Cash - Directly exchange it for Bitcoin or Ether.
Send Bitcoin Cash - Transfer it to a different Bitcoin Cash address.

Dismissing the dialog has the same affect as clicking "Keep Bitcoin Cash"; don't worry though, your Bitcoin Cash balance and both the "Exchange Bitcoin Cash" and "Send Bitcoin Cash" options are now permanently available under Settings -> General.
