Am I to believe that I can potentially take out two of the identical credit cards and get the 50k bonus offer? What are the chances that they would “catch” it in the application process. Are there any foreseeable downsides to trying this?

Thanks

We all get mail offers. That doesn't mean a thing. If you have had the UA card/received the bonus w/in the last 24 months you probably will NOT get any bonus miles. But you may get approved for the card. Chase is tricky that way. Wait 24 months from the date of your last bonus and then apply.

I'd also strongly suggest that you read the last 100 or so posts in this thread: http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/chase...solidated.html Most of your questions have been asked and answered there.

Good luck and welcome to FT!! ^

Just received 50k offer + 5k with auth user and fee waiver for the first year in the mail ($2k spend in 3 mo's). Appears to be tied my FF number I just set up.

Thank you!

Approved for the card. 55K bonus.

Now, the question is, should I spend all my money on this card or the Amex PRG?

Instant approval for the 50k + 5k card targeted when logged into my United account. Nice to repeat this bonus with the 24 month rule!

when did you apply last time?

Amusing: got a targeted 50k + 5k offer in the mail (applied and approved). Have seen ads for the 30k public offer plastered everywhere. Recently flew to IAH - card applications in every seatback, and the terminals are practically giant billboards for the explorer card. While walking through the terminal (D, I think) spotted a kiosk for credit card sign-ups. They were offering 50k 'at this location.' :-p

I received the bonus around 27 months ago. Terms just say you can't have the card currently open or have received the bonus within the last 24 months. So it's not application date, but bonus date, keep that in mind.

I signed up for the 30 + 5 explorer card offer about a month ago. Two days ago I was at LAX and they were advertising a 50 + 5 offer. I sent a secure message asking to match the offer and they said I have to provide the invitation code that the sales reps at LAX had. WHAT?! If I would have waited....well..anyway that's the way life goes. If anyone happens to be at LAX or IAH (or any other airport with the 50k offer) and wants to share the invitation code it'd be much appreciated! ;)

I'm still trying to figure out what "semi-targeted" means. Does it just mean that you have to have a MileagePlus account, so it's not open to everyone in the world? Or is it that it's only available to certain members? That would see more like a targeted offer, but I guess it doesn't require a specific invitation number or anything like that.

It usually means targeted less invitation number, but this time it may be targeted to a wider audience, for example, my MileagePlus account gets this offer when I currently have both the personal and business Explorer cards open, so just like all things, YMMV.

Worth getting the Explorer Card???
 
I have the 50 + 5K targeted offer, and will booking one domestic UA trip next year to BFE Wyoming and one int'l r/t in J PHX-IAH-LIM. Long-term as a PHX resident I don't see a lot of use here as I'll rarely fly UA and the award chart has been obliterated. UA fans, is there enough value here to take the credit hit AND tie up precious Chase Bank utililization? :confused:

any open 50K bonus miles link as of now ?

GrnLantern Dec 30, 2014 1:56 pm

Just a data point, I sent in a Secure Message to Chase online asking if they could match the offer that was seen on a pamphlet at IAH. Here's their response after I pressed them to escalate to Marketing:


Dear GrnLantern,

Thank you for contacting Chase about your interest in our MileagePlus® Explorer credit card.

Please understand that the MileagePlus Explorer Card select offer of 50,000 bonus miles is by invitation.

The MileagePlus Explorer offer with 50,000 bonus miles anda $50.00 statement credit has been an available offer through United.com within the purchase path. Chase and United have various offers within the marketplace. In order to receive the applicable offer, one must apply through that particular channel.

If you were not personally solicited for this offer, we welcome you to apply for the MileagePlus Explorer card with 30,000 bonus miles offer.

However if you get solicited for a richer premium after you apply, we will be happy to honor that new offer for up to 90 days after your account is approved and with a copy of the new offer.

You can apply for the MileagePlus Explorer card at www.chasecreditcards.com, www.TheExplorerCard.com or call 1-888-744-6899.

If you have any further questions, please reply using the Secure Message Center.

Thank you,

Customer Service Specialist
Guess that's a No Go for me. I'll continue to wait until a better offer (than the current 30k one) shows up for me.
