Actually it does make a difference. I need to deal with this in the same month I'm moving,I'm helping my mom 82 year old mom move and dealing with a bunch of other personal things. Just because it doesn't bother you doesn't mean it's not insulting and bothersome to others..

In fact, I'd recommend that all those who received the new card do exactly what I did. That way, if the old card gets demagnetized, you just activate the new card and you're good to go again.

Thanks for reminding me about that, it's one more annoying detail I did not think about.

I got the same error when trying to make a purchase, but it was before I updated my account. See the other thread I just started. Apparently united.com is currently not processing any chase cards (if not others) according to the customer service rep at chase.

Don't like the new card. Now if it would have had a chip and was made from the same material that the Chase Sapphire card is made of (I get a lot compliments when I use) then I would have giving it a thumbs up. Looks plain and boring.

Well I guess I'm the moron - I didn't read the thread correctly and thought OP was referring to the legacy Visa MP Platinum class card with 2x miles on UA and *A purchases; 5,000eqms for $5k spend on UA.com; and 5,000eqms with a $35k yearly spend and annual companion ticket instead of the Select Visa with the 3x miles and 5k eqms etc etc....I still have the Select with the large Tulip but received this "MileagePlus Card" as a replacement for the old Platinum class card...so confusing.
I'm happy to report that I've seen my bonus PQM for ua.com spend this year, already used the comp ticket and annual fee waiver and just received the 5K PQM for 35K spend. So while the only thing "Platinum" on it is the color of the background, is at least differentiated from the "MileagePlus Explorer" or "MileagePlus Club" cards by carrying the name "MileagePlus Card". However, the most important thing to me (sorry tulip fans) is that it has same benefits as the old Visa Signature MP Platinum Class Card.

I phoned Chase/MP which informed me there are no longer PQM (new name for EQM) on these new Club cards - neither the 5,000 annual PQM nor the extra potential of 5,000 based on 35K spend. At the end of July 2012, Chase/MP stated all previous Paltinum Select cardholder would be credited with a one-time PQM of 5,000 "goodwill", sayonara or whatever bonus, then no more PQMs. My MP account showed receipt of that 5,000 PQM.

Really hte losing those 5K & potential 5K PQM benefits.

As recently as 6/30, I received PQM for united.com spend for tickets I haven't even flown on yet, but were purchased in June. So my PQM credit for spend seems to be ongoing.

I received my unrequested replacement card today. It is now clearly marked with "MileagePlus Select" on the front and no MP# as others have noted. Before activating I called Chase to discuss the replacement and any change in benefits. They claim no change in benefits. To double check I noted the benefits on the Chase site both before and after activating the new card. All appear to have remained intact. They are summarized below and hopefully remain intact as this is one of the few CCs I would be very upset to part with.

I had the old "Platinum Class": 5K EQM each for united.com and $35K annual, annual companion certificate, double miles on certain purchases, $140 annual fee, etc. Just to add a data point, I called Chase and was told that these benefits are still intact under the new card. The new card, which is simply entitled "MileagePlus Card" and has a VISA Signature logo, is approximately the same color as the old card, just less sparkly and very slightly bluer/less yellow.

I had my BofA business mastercard replaced for that exact reason. I don't think it is Chase specific.
