The terms say the offer is good for first time Explorer members, but the very next sentence states that previous Chase United card members are not eligible. While holding 3 Chase cards already, I did not want to waste an application, so I called. The rep told me I am definitely eligible, since they are even giving that card and the bonus to members who currently hold a different Chase United card.

Redelmo, this is not the Sapphire card, it's the United Explorer card.
So now I'm confused... yes I know usually the rep's dont know much but it wont hurt... I did call and they said since i have a "normal" united card I probably would not be eligible for the bonus miles.

So are you saying you I CAN get the 50K bonus miles? I currently hold a Chase Freedom card a different Chase United card...

What is the difference with the "Explorer" card? I really would like to apply for it IF and only IF i can get the 50K points.
