They probably know because she only got a 40k offer for the personal MP card instead of the 50k. Is that worth it over paying the $250? Someone recommend opening the business version but I don't know if that counts (I couldn't find fine print listing what was considering opening a MP card).
Are you referring to Mileage Plus Explorer card? If you log into your mother's MP account, 40K bonus will change to 50K bonus. First year annual fee is waived. You can cancel this card at the end of first year. $100 reinstatement fee and 74K+50K miles is a no brainer. That is almost 5 domestic saver awards.
