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.

+10K?
Has anyone confirmed that this offer comes with the option for an additional 10K bonus for adding an authorized user when signing up?
Given the title of this thread (the reference to "+10k") it appears that's the assumption, but it would be nice to have that verified.

Applied. Got to landing page with 50K spelled out. "Apply now" required logging into UA.com and transferred to app page a few seconds later, which doesn't spell out the bonus. Hopefully that's what everyone got too.
It wouldn't accept $0 as revenue.. so I put $1.

Yeah, poor business rules in websites are pretty common both within this industry and elsewhere. On my most recent app the bank wanted to know my "housing costs", meaning rent or mortgage payment. It wouldn't accept the correct value, zero (I paid off my mortgage years ago) , so I had to tell them one dollar per month. I was automatically approved.

I found the following language related to previous cards in one of the application tabs. It states no bonus award if I received previous bonus award within past 24 months. It says nothing about when I actually closed the account. Is that your reading as well?
"This new cardmember bonus offer is not available to either (i) current cardmembers of this business credit card, or (ii) previous cardmembers of this business credit card who received a new cardmember bonus for this business credit card within the last 24 months"

Thank you.
Applied 2/2. called Biz line 2/4. had decent review with CSR who was business-like and helpful. He asked about my biz, CC uses, and general monthly spend. He indicated all looked clean and I'd likely be approved once supervisor reviewed, part of standard procedure. no request from him for CL transfer or additional info. Told me I should hear via email by 2/6-7. fairly painless. I've had worse CC questioning...Barclay's comes to mind.

If you are lucky that Chase pulls from the SAME bureau using the SAME exact name and address of the Chase entity, the 2 pulls would be combined by the bureau so only one shows up on your report.
However it is quite common Chase pulls one from bureau A and the other from bureau B - in this case, no combination would occur and you see inquiries on their respective reports.
In fact Chase could pull TWO separate reports on ONE application - this happened to some people, including myself.

Two. There is always a pull for an application.

Again, it has nothing to do with personal or business. It ONLY happens when the pulls are all from SAME bureau. if Chase pulls DIFFERENT bureaus on each app, you will see the pulls on their respective reports.
And I repeat, sometimes Chase pulls TWO reports on ONE application, when that happens, there would be TWO pulls - one on each respective report, for only ONE application which can be a personal or a biz. It is not an uncommon practice either. It actually happened to me for a good part of 2013.
