current promotion that is going around is that the United MileagePlus Club Card has a $95 statement credit for the $395 fee. However, I came across an offer for the first year waived.
I stumbled across this an hour ago and have been trying to replicate the exact steps to get the offer to show up. I found another poster who managed to find the same offer as well on the United forum. As far as I know, it's possibly tied to either status with United or having a previous MileagePlus Explorer card. YMMV but see if it works on your end. I started off with a fresh browser and everything logged off (e.g. Chase, United, etc.):
1) Log into your United MileagePlus account via united.com
2) Click on the following link:
https://www.theexplorercard.com/MPCl...rce=navigation
I clicked through to the application and there's no explicit mention of the fee waiver, so if applying I fully recommend screen-shotting everything in case an issue does arise. I can only access this link after logging in to United, so I believe this is status linked.
UPDATE: Must have status with United.
Interesting...Did not work for me but I did see the banner momentarily this morning when I was on united.com. However, when I came back to the UA web site later on in the day, I was unable to reproduce this and am now really disappointed... I am Silver Premier.
