1. Call 1-800-421-4655
2. Say enroll in Mileage Plus. You will be transferred to a CSR.
3. Mention you already have an account but want to get a Chase Mileage Plus Credit Card (if you don't have an account, you'd need to get one).
4. CSR will transfer you to Chase Application Center CS (India).
5. CSR will take all your information and give approval.
I had originally tried the standard United phone tree as well as the Chase credit card line provided for the Continental Presidential Plus card (to see if they knew of the promotion, a promotion code, etc.) to no avail. One of the numbers even said that they were no longer accepting applications for credit cards over the phone.
This number, however, takes you to the right people. Pain in the butt factor: listening to all the T&Cs over the phone. My original call got disconnected, so I enjoyed the pleasure of listening to all the fascinating features of this fine product twice....
Hope this helps.
