I remember because when I moved to Chicagoland in fall 2005, Bank One building was still in Evanston, at least, and changed to Chase not much longer after.
Yes, Chase did have a UA-branded card back in the day. I had one.

Here is a thread from 2011 about it... Chase kills debit card rewards, including United miles and free checked bag
