How It Works
I did this last year, but it was 35,000 RDM miles and 15,000 EQM when I signed up.
You apply and get 30,000 RDM miles, and 5,000 more + 5,000 EQM after you spend your first $200.
You earn 1 RDM per mile spent and 2RDM per mile spent on groceries, gas, or anything United.
You can then convert the RDM miles earned on the card into EQM miles, up to 100,000 per year, worth 10,000 EQMs. This includes the initial 35,000 RDM.
Each year their after you can convert up to 100,000 RDM earned on the card for EQM at the same ration 10,000 RDM gets you 1,000 EQM. They must be earned on the card, not earned by flying or other promotions.
So to get the 10,000 EQM, you must spend between $50,000 and $100,000 on the card.
Not worth converting to EQM in my opinion, but worth it for the RDM miles.

http://united.com/chase says the limit is 50,000.
I took my 5,000 EQM upfront and wasn't interested in, nor needed the rest. So I never looked at it again.

Actually, the 10,000 EQMs each year are supposed to come from ticket purchases on united.com (up to 5,000 EQM at 1EQM/$ spent) and from spending more than $35,000 in a calendar year (fixed 5,000 upon reaching the limit). If you convert 50,000 so called Choices (RDMs from your credit card) you can get another 5,000 EQMs.
