Current public offer as of March 2024: 100k for $5K spend in 3 months: https://creditcards.chase.com/busine...ard?iCELL=6C1Y
Note: This is now branded as the United Business Card, without the "Explorer" branding. It is believed that this is considered by Chase to be a new product compared to the Explorer Business Card.

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.

yes I have other cards from other banks. Sometimes I call recon lines, but not always.
This last round of applications was my biggest (4 cards: 2 business/2 personal and got all four approved, now just have to manufacture all the extra spend
)

Can someone list the reasons why the United Biz card is hard to get? Read from other threads that some said having difficult time getting card approved. But reading this thread seems major problem is getting the actual app for 50k to appear. Any reason why others are saying getting United Biz card approval is difficult? Perhaps Would getting a biz card a problem if already have the same personal card version ?

I had the same experience as below with switching from 30k to 50k with the tab switch.

Unfortunately I wasn't approved instantly. I have an Ink Bold and Ink Plus and I think I'll send an SM to have one of them closed right now so that it frees up some total credit.

Finally After almost 2 months of trying today i can see the 50K business offer under my UA account.
Applied using 50K link, got pending message, called the business recon. line..
he asked my questions about my business and than asked me to move some credit from my personal cards to new business card. I agreed. he moved. approved with 5K.
I think i am at Max internal limit of chase for me. currently i have chase credit line which is 50% of my income. So it is sure i am maxed with them.
Now going to cool off till December to apply for 50K SW.
Thanks FT for all your help.

Moral: if you're turned down for the Chase United Business, go for the Inks. You can always transfer the URs to United if you wish to.

I wanted to add another data point of my own. I tried everything but couldn't get the OP links to work. I tried jsmithv's method and it worked like a charm. Just need to log in to UA, select the Biz Card, wait for the application to generate, and then replace the URL with the one he posted. Got my cards (got one for my wife too) yesterday and called to confirm they are both 50K miles with a $2K spend. Thanks a lot, jsmithv!!! I owe you lunch sometime. ^

Approved, but lots of questions.
Applied and everything worked fine -- post 9. Got "Pending".
Called next day and rep said "still pending" it will take 2 weeks. I said I had a large repair bill on a machine I had for my business that I wanted to charge to the card and could a specialist look to see if the card could be approved.
Specialist came on the line and asked lots of questions.
Has the business made a profit 2 year ago, last year, and this year? How much profit each year?
How much total income from the business 2 years ago, last year, this year?
What does the business do? Give an example of what we make, and how we sell it.
How much do I make a year apart from husband? Where is it from? What is our total household income and from what sources. Plus some other questions. WOW!
We do have a "real" small business for the last 15 years. Glad they don't have access to my tax statements. This is the most in depth questioning for a business card ever! Was approved for a credit line of $10,000.
Just got the 60,000 Business Chase Ink Bold three months ago, and points just posted. Had the Chase Sapphire Cards last year and cancelled when "fee" came due. Did the Chase British Air 100,000 mile offer earlier last year. Did the U.S. Airways card earlier this year, when I thought the points would combine with AA.
I thought I was in my "resting phase" until I saw this offer and fell off the wagon.
Quite a nice offer for $2000 spend!!! Thanks everyone.
