I have an old MileagePlus card with a $500 CL that I downgraded a long time ago and kept open instead of canceling. I have fresh miles in my MP account but when I click on the OP's link while logged in to United.com I don't get the offer but rather a MileagePlus catalog page. Has anyone had any luck with canceling their old MP card and then re-doing this trick to get the 65K offer to show up on their page.
BTW, I know it's not a browser issue because my wife was just able to get the offer to show up on the same computer.

paid the full amount in advance, though I'm selling one of my cars... what I noticed from previous experience the insurance company sends a rebate check for the unused policy instead of reversing the credit card charge... so i'll get to pay them again when I switch cars on the policy.

Unless someone can prove differently, I think expired needs to be added to the thread title or in branch only YMMV. Please prove me wrong since I haven't applied for this yet.

Use this and it still works, totals out to 65K miles (50k bonus, 5k for auth user, 10k anniv bonus).

They have rephrased it accurately as a 50K offer. The 65k offer deceptively included the 10k anniversary bonus (which is still available in the newly titled offer) but not immediately earned.

since we arent getting it, do you think its worth applying for the card with the 30K miles and then sending a secure message asking for the additional mileage, like suggested here: http://www.extrapackofpeanuts.com/2-...ited-explorer/

I already had the older Chase United card and was having trouble with this offer. I set up another Mileage Plus account, moved 2,000 miles over, and attempted to access the offer again. BINGO! I was able to get the 65,000 miles with the new card with immediate approval of fairly large line in their signature program. Will use it to the necessary requirement and merge those mileage plus accounts. Thanks FT!
BTW - If you have 0 miles in the account you are trying to use to set it up, forget it. You will get the 30k offer.

1) Is the older UA card the same Explorer card as this one?
2) Please report back whether you would get the bonus or not because the practice of Chase is, it would give you the card but not necessarily the sign up bonus if you have had the same card before. The only time it would give you a second bonus is the 2nd card a different product from the 1st card, hence question 1).

I thought that over the past 3-4 years the consensus was that Chase cards can be churned after a wait of 2 years or so. Has that changed recently?
