We reread the offer, and nowhere does it say that previous card holders are ineligible. And since they had her Mileageplus number and current miles, they must have had all her information before they made the offer.
Hope you are more successful in getting the bonus miles then we were.
This is in the terms and conditions:
50,000 Bonus Miles:
With this bonus offer you will qualify and receive 50,000 bonus miles after you make purchases totaling $1,000 or more during the first 3 months from account opening. Purchases do not include using your account for balance transfers or cash advances, or using any checks that access your account. After qualifying, please allow 6 to 8 weeks for bonus miles to post to your account.
To be eligible for this bonus offer, account must be open and not in default at the time of fulfillment. This bonus offer is valid only for first-time United MileagePlus Visa cardmembers with new accounts. Previous and existing United MileagePlus Visa cardmembers/accounts are not eligible for this bonus offer. Bonus miles do not count towards Premier status.
Have others who had a UA Visa before applied and received the 50K? I had the card approx 3-4 yrs ago. Would def reapply if I were get the bonus again.
