Can I apply for this card after earning a previous bonus on it?
Are there are any rules or restrictions to keep in mind when applying for an Ink card?
What is the Chase "5/24" policy? Does it apply to this card?
If my application isn't approved instantly, should I call in?
How can I determine the deadline for meeting the spend requirement to earn the signup bonus?
After being denied, how long should I wait before applying again for the same card?
How long should I wait after closing my card before applying again for the same card?See the wiki at Applying for Chase Credit cards.
Can I have MileagePlus Explorer Business Card if I already have a MileagePlus Explorer personal card?Yes. They are different products.
If I earned a 50k bonus within last 24 months on a MP Explorer Business card with one EIN, would I be able to apply for and receive a new bonus with a new MP Explorer Business card with a different business EIN?No. Even if your businesses have separate EINs, you must wait the 24 months.
Once I meet the spending requirement, how soon will I receive my bonus points?Bonus points typically accrue at the close of the billing period in which you incur the corresponding charges. Points should appear in your United account within a day or two thereafter.
NOTE: If you complete your required spending within 7-10 days of your statement close, the bonus may not post until the following month's statement, even if the regular per-dollar points post on the first statement. This is normal behavior for Chase and is not worth a phone call.
Where can I find details on the travel & purchase-protection benefits for this card?Here: https://www.chasebenefits.com/unitedVW4
Notes:
- Purchasing 7 x $100 TravelBank triggers the $100 travel credit.

I can't get the 50k offer to appear. I've tried several times using IE with and without InPrivate browsing. It might be that the 50k offer only appears if you have some preferred UA status. I tried the cut and paste method, and the application is still loaded, but I have no indication that it is for the 50k offer instead of the 30k offer since the bonus is not listed under the T&C.

It can depends on cookies !!
Tried to get to the 50K miles screen via my Mileage Plus acct on my PC. It did not work. Tried same on my wife's PC and it did work. I applied.
My conclusion: Cookies.
BTW - Before the above, also tried to send to Chase a secure message, saying that I only see the 30K offer, asking for the 50K. Response: It is by invitation only.

I would call the reconsideration line (number posted everywhere, MMS has a blog entry with arrows if needed). IME Chase has been very open to moving credit lines around to open new accounts.

Does this still Works? Also can anybody confirm that they received 50K offer after doing this trick recently.
I have tried 5 computers and all the browsers but I can never see that 50K offer for business card.

This might be worth trying, similar to post #1654 in the united explorer personal thread for those that have done that. This seems to work without the need to clear cookies, etc. I was able to see the 50k offer under my login, but under my wife's login, just the 30k offer. We both have about 60k points in our accounts, both have the personal explorer. The only difference is I had some UR transfer activity. so, for my wife's application, I did the following.
1. Login to united.com and then see if the 50k offer appears
2. The offer never appeared for 50k, so instead I clicked on Apply Now for the 30k Business Explorer offer.
3. Once that application loaded and showed my pre-populated name, etc., I erase the URL, and replace it with this one
https://www.theexplorercard.com/UMPC...4M&REFERID=TEC
4. A new application will load, still populated with your information, but the application address is slightly different. This is the address I had when I applied for the 50k offer.
My wife's app is still pending, so not sure if by using this link she got the 50k offer, but if not, worst case, we'll send in the screenshot and try to have them match the offer. If someone is going to apply for the 30k and shoot for chase matching the offer, try this method first so we can perhaps verify if it works.
note: You can't just click on the link above, you HAVE to click on Apply Now and load the 30k app first, then replace the current page with this link.

That's odd. Are all of these computers using the same browser (Chrome or IE)?
