============================================

[/b] 50 + 5k offer for personal card. Requires MileagePlus login; redirects to https://www.theexplorercard.com/50kAFW

50k miles after $3000 spend within first 3 months
5k miles for adding an authorized user
No annual fee first year
No FTF
Each calendar year, you are eligible to receive one 10,000-mile bonus after you reach $25,000 in net purchases on your Card.

For discussion of card benefits, see the master thread in the United forum.

My math says a 50K offer. Where do the extra points come from?

The extra 5000 points come from adding an authorized user after you have been approved for the card.

Is there a business card?

Yes, and Flyertalk has a thread devoted to the business card: United business card: 50k+10k united miles

Can I apply for this card and earn the bonus after doing so previously?

See the wiki and related discussion in Applying for Chase Credit Cards- May 2015-Present

[Limited Availability] UA MP Explorer- Up to 55K & possible $50 stmt credit

So now that the 55K miles have posted to my husband's account how do I transfer them to his United Mileage account?

Where did they post, if not to his United account? Ours posted straight to the respective accounts. Did you provide his account number on the app?

Hi,

How long after receiving the credit card should I expect to receive the complimentary lounge passes? I've had the card since early November, but have yet to receive the lounge passes...

No passes yet for me.. again this is what the fine print says:
You will receive two (2) Club passes after account opening and every account anniversary thereafter. Please allow 8 – 10 weeks after account opening for delivery of Club passes.
Our opening date was Oct 24th.

According to the Terms here:

https://creditcards.chase.com/credit...dit-card.aspx#

"Please allow 4 weeks for delivery of your United Club passes." If you happen to be at ORD I hear they have a really nice new United Club lounge opening!

Hubby and I applied in mid Nov. a couple of days apart. My card arrived 11/20, spend completed on 11/21. His arrived about a week later, spend completed the next day. Passes arrived today for both of us, so maybe they send them out in batches?

It's back. Login your UA account and try this link.

Edit: On closer look, the language changed a bit. They don't mention 65K anywhere like in the previous offer's header.

Good. That language was so deceptive... Otherwise, this looks like exactly the same offer as before. Excellent!

Sweet! I was wanting to get my wife in on this deal, but she had just signed up for the CSP so we wanted to wait a bit. Great to see it back.
