============================================

[/b] 50 + 5k offer for personal card. Requires MileagePlus login; redirects to https://www.theexplorercard.com/50kAFW
  • 50k miles after $3000 spend within first 3 months
  • 5k miles for adding an authorized user
  • No annual fee first year
  • No FTF
  • Each calendar year, you are eligible to receive one 10,000-mile bonus after you reach $25,000 in net purchases on your Card.

For discussion of card benefits, see the master thread in the United forum.
My math says a 50K offer. Where do the extra points come from?
The extra 5000 points come from adding an authorized user after you have been approved for the card.
Is there a business card?
Yes, and Flyertalk has a thread devoted to the business card: United business card: 50k+10k united miles
Can I apply for this card and earn the bonus after doing so previously?

Why not just downgrade to the No annual fee United card. This will not only keep miles alive with a purchase once a year but preserve the credit line as well.

Thinking of applying for the United Biz card. Which is the best link for applying for this? Also is the 50k sign on bonus for the biz card still alive?

Has anyone here gotten this exact card and the 50K bonus TWICE? i.e. was able to somehow avoid chase catching you for already having the card ????????

I've tried since last year. I don't think there are any more no-fee cards. Please post if you find out otherwise.

I've tried in the past for other United cards and they definitely don't bend the rules.

Glad to hear that. I got approved June 2.

Also, I got a card for myself and my wife. Can I get a card for another relative and get another 5k bonus?

My card renewal came due in April of this yr. I didnt want to pay the annual fee and downgraded to the United no fee card. This card is still out there as I received it in the mail last month.

Did this too and was approved for a limit of $2,000. Is there a minimum limit to get the bonus? Said this. Is that the correct card? I couldn't get the 55k miles to show up after transferring points form Ultimate rewards.

You've been approved for the MILEAGEPLUS EXP SIG credit card.

Is it just me, or does the blonde woman who started showing up in the online ads recently look like Daenerys Targaryen?

What are the features & benefits of the no-fee card? How do these benefits differ from the card that carries an annual fee of $95? Does the card you now have say "United Explorer Card" or something else?
