Try another method - do a dummy reservation, if your accounts are targeted, you will see the 50K offer popped up and stays in 50K. If it reverts to 30K that means your accounts are NOT targeted. If you are not targeted, currently there is no known mechanism to make it work.
Immediate approval.

I was approved for the card.. it's in the mail.. but I have quite a big amount of travel expenses ( cruise and trip bookings) for later this year .
I just have to use this card and not get the best benefit from using CSP or WArrival.
I guess I have to sort out which bills to pay with this and other purchases that don't give 2pts per $ like the others for dining , travel, gas.

I just received an offer in the mail for this card...50+5 for $2k spend in three months. The first year's fee is waived and $95 thereafter. All that's missing seems to be the statement credit. It says its invitation only at unitedexplorercard.com/92. I haven't traveled United in some time but I have about 50k points already and this offer seems as good as it gets. Is there anything better out there to use a Chase hard pull? I already have two SW credit cards, Hyatt and IHG all from Chase and I fear I'm reaching my limit. I don't think I'll keep this over a year when the fee hits next year. Thoughts?
Thanks,

* 50K points for $2000 spend in three months
* 5000 points for adding an authorized user
* 10K bonus points for $25K spend in a calendar year
* Two United Club passes each year
* No FTF
* $95 annual fee waived first year.
* Offer good until April 15, 2015.
Just yesterday I tried the /55 link in the wiki and the dummy reservation but kept getting the 30K offer. I just now ran all of the numbers from 75 to 99 and got nothing but 30K offers along with some bad URLs. Looks like you have to be targeted by account, but also know the right URL. For the record my account is only a month or two old with zero balance - I've never flown UA.
When I couldn't get a hit on this one yesterday I went ahead and applied for the Sapphire Preffered and got approved instantly with my highest limit ever from Chase. I already have a Slate, Disney, SW, and IHG. I don't like to poke Chase too often, so I think I will hold onto this offer until April 15 while hoping for something better. I don't really have a use for the miles that fast anyway.

Are you saying that when logged in, if you use the url ending in /77 you get the 50k offer and every other url shows you 30k? In my experience, various url endings are just a marketing tool so the company knows what ad you are responding to. Beyond that, the functionality is the same. What you're saying--that chase is requiring a specific url to identify a targeted MP account in addition to logging in--seems like overkill to me.

Same but mine ends in /88, I only get the 50k offer with my targeted URL, the others give me 30.
This is probably the best use of the Chase HP in your situation. CSP would be the runner-up but the 40K offer is always available so get it in a year or two.

Just applied after making a dummy reservation on United.com...got 50K miles with a $50 statement credit. Received my last United 50K bonus about 25 months ago and closed my last United card in December. Hopefully this offer is still around when I try to do it again in another 24 months!

Should I be spending $50 above the $2k minimum requirement to get the 50k miles?
I too applied with the $50 statement bonus.
Answering my own answer as the $50 credit now is showing my total to be $1950 plus some pending purchases.

I used the /77 link, and when I logged in I did get the 50k offer.
Instantly approved--last got the card about 2.5 years ago.

How often does the 50k offer come around? I know the last time it was found widely available was Aug/Sept 2014. Does anyone have reason to believe it will pop up again in the next 2-3 months?

You can try logging into your United account and then pricing out a paid flight and a reward flight, get all the way to the purchase screen then don't purchase. I got a 50K offer in the mail about a week after that. It may be a coincidence, but I don't think so because I almost never receive targeted offers.

I've been getting targeted mail for the 50k offer for the UA Explorer card since November 2014, and finally decided it was time to grab the offer, but I wanted the $50 statement credit. As other users have described, I was able to get the offer by logging into my MP account and started the booking process. All I did was START the process (chose airports and dates), and got an ad at the top of screen for the 50k +$50 statement credit. Applied and Approved. ^

Tried everything to get 50+5k+$50 online but no go. Went in to Chase branch today and got 50+5k automatically on adding add'l user, they couldn't do a statement credit though but I'm happy with the extra miles.
Banker said the card should be here in 7-10 business days... is there any way to expedite that?
