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

When reading your post I did not interpret the way you now clarified. I thought you could get bold or plus the 2nd go round and still get the bonus. Apparently that wasn't what you mean.

I hadn't planned to try for this one but I got the 50k offer so jumped on it. I've had all the previous personal cards but don't have any right now. Got the dreaded we have to review your application screen - I think that's my first time - guess we'll see what happens :-)
I had gone to the card page showing all the cards, clicked on the Club Card then back to the regular business card and it changed to 50k.

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.

Does anyone have any info on how long this will last? With the increase in the INK cards to 60K, im wondering which card to go for. The "normal" bonus on this card is 30k, while 50k on the ink. so if this offer doesn't last long (ie at least 3 months to the next churn) then it would be better to try to get this one then the ink.
ie. 50k UA then get 50k INK = 100k
60k INK then get 30k UA = 90k
what do you guys think?
ie. 50k UA then get 50k INK = 100k
60k INK then get 30k UA = 90k
what do you guys think?

When will credit card awards post?
I just signed up for the 50,000 United Business card and will meet the $2,000 spend in a few days with wedding spending. If I pay it off after hitting the spend limit will the miles post soon after or not until the bill was actually do? Looking to book a trip very soon. Thanks

jsmithv's trick below didn't work for me. He said:
"1. Login to united.com and then see if the 50k offer appears

3. Once that application loaded and showed my pre-populated name, etc., I erase the URL, and replace it with this one

When I replace the 30k mi URL applications with the URL above, I get a reply stating "Bad Request."

You may risk being shut down by Chase on all your cards if you keep going at this pace if you do not have a long history with Chase. I am not kidding. This happened to a few persons.

Logged on the United.com and got the personal 50+5 offer right away. Clicked on it. Clicked on the "Business Owner?" and got a 50K offer. The first offer was not there just a few days ago. Still won't risk an application for now because I just closed my personal United a couple months ago, and applied for Bold 3 weeks ago. Still wanted to mention that sometimes they just give it to you for no reason at all.

Hmm, the two accounts that I help manage didn't show the 50K offer last week now all of a sudden do. Nothing changed. I just tried switching the tabs and it works. Guys, give it another go.
