United Mileageplus Explorer card coming to Canada?
Got a survey link in my email, during the questions, a screen shows the detail of upcoming United Mileageplus Explorer card in Canada, thoughts?

^ I definitely hope that that's the case! Seeing as how I'm switching from Aeroplan over to Mileageplus, that would be very convenient.
Hopefully, the insurance and perks benefits will be as good as some of the cards I have currently (e.g., Lounge access as proposed in the survey above, trip/flight delay insurance, etc.).

Got the same survey. Found it to be badly designed: they never asked why I didn't appreciate some of the benefits they inquire about when the (simple) answer is that I am already a lowly Premier Silver, so I already get those.
That being said, if the card ever makes it to this side of the border and eventually offers better CPU odds, I'd be all for it. :-)

Screenshots removed, but at least people know it's coming.For most of the questions, I chose the negative answers. Because I am *G and got all the group2 / bags things, and my current CA/US AMEX reward point can be convert to Aeroplan, especially my US PRG card give me 3x point when purchasing from UA and all other carriers.

New Chase Card.
As if Air Canada does not need another nail in its coffin. This would push a lot more people to switch to United...
Cant wait for the card to come out.
Oh it is a Chase card...

And of course, it costs more than the US card.

Definitely should be at least 30K, and even 50K that our American counterparts receive on a regular basis.
I get pestered by Chase Canada for the Marriott and Amazon.ca cards already. No-fee USD transactions, and I'll definitely sign up!
