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.

I've tried this method several times in various browsers with no luck. Is there something I'm missing?

After having the cut and paste method fail and not getting a response to my sm, I called and spoke with a csr who gave me the additional 20k, no problem.

Couldn't get the 50K offer to come up, tried 3 different computers (Macs and PCs), many different browsers, clearing cookies, other voodoo, etc. Gave up on that and just applied for the 30K offer assuming I can sweet talk them into bumping to 50K without too much trouble.

I got "application pending" message, which I was expecting, since I have about 6 Chase credit cards already. I have one unused card I'm ready to trade away to make room for this one (been saving that one with this in mind), so I'll need to call their recon line to offer to close that one.

Anyone know if Chase's recon line for business cards is open on weekends?

This completes my July AOR (was 3 for 3 on my other apps - not counting Barclays which I knew was a longshot). Thanks and good luck to all.

When is the bonus posted? I made the $2000 spend and the first statement has been issued. I got the miles for the spend, but not the 50K bonus.

Some Chase cards (maybe all?) require you to hit the min. spend 10 days before statement close for the bonus to show up on that statement.

I got the 30K posted recently and sent today a secure message requesting "to match the best offer, which is upwards of 50K".......
Question... which offer have they been matching everyone??? The 50+5K / 1000 spend, or the 50K / 2000 spend ???

Chase posts miles AFTER statement closed, provided the spend requirement is met 7 to 10 days before statement close.
It has nothing to do when it is approved nor when the balance is paid.

Have your statement closed yet?
