They don't ask for SSN, just name.

UA additional 5K
 

I sent a secure message on Monday as I applied for the 60K + $50 statement. Here is the reply I received. I don't see any reference to needing a social for the additional user.^

Dear XXXXXXXXX,

Thank you for contacting Chase about your United
MileagePlus credit card account and enrollment bonus.

We are pleased to confirm we have received your request to
exchange the offers on the account. Please reply to this
message with the name of the person you would like to add
to the account. Once the Authorized User is added, a
credit card with the new user's name will be mailed to the
address listed on your account and 5,000 bonus miles will
be added to your account. In addition, you can earn 10,000
bonus miles if you spend $25,000 in purchases in any
calendar year (January through December). Once all of the
above have been met you will have received a total of
65,000 miles.

If you have any further questions, please reply using the
Secure Message Center.

Nice!! Did all the above exactly (although in the chrome browser), and it all came up! 65K + $50 credit. thanks!

I had a panic attack when I got an email from Chase saying my Continental card was being switched to a Mileage Plus. So I hopped onto United.com, and signed up for the 60k bonus one. It just showed up in the mail today!

Inside Chase it shows one Continental Card United and one United Card United. So they'll coexist till the universe explodes. I hope they take the ($0) balance from the new one if they merge them :)

Thanks to folks for the info on the $50 credit and the extra 5k. I'll give that a shot!

Peace,
Ryan

bombnthud & Flyertalk, thank you! :)

Applied, put into pending, called reconsideration line and the agent couldn't have been more friendly. He simply said, "Oh, I see you have two recent applications [BA offer]. Hmm, how about we just transfer $5K from your Sapphire preferred?" I just asked if there was another card he could take from and he said, sure just take the $5K from the Freedom card.

Job done.

BTW, I already have the United Mileage plus card as well as the United Business card. Both of these were CO cards that got converted to UA. The agent said nothing about not being eligible for the 65k offer, so I assume it's still on the table.

For those of us who had the old MP Visa (canceled about 2 years ago), what do you think my odds are of getting this one to work?

Thanks

Hi all

Do you think this is a good chase UA offer?
Or I should wait more time? Because I just got freedom last month.
Also not sure to get UA or CSP for the next step..

Did you manage this without miles in the acoount or you also had miles

my dad currently has a mp visa, he's had it for over 10 years and got it work without calling the reconsideration line. The rep actually told him to apply and see what happens but that he should get the bonus.

I had miles in my MP account.

Happy ref AU--- you do not need to order a card to get the 5k , yesterday I called Chase ( # on back of card )and told them to add my wife as a AU on the acct and no need for a card to be sent ( she is now "authorized" to ask about the acct etc ) the rep only wanted her name----per my request she told me --5k on my next statement

How long should it take for 1st purchase miles (50K) to show up in an account from this offer? A couple of days - weeks, does a billing cycle need to be completed, does Chase need to receive a payment? I'm approaching 3 weeks and no miles from this card.....

Sent an SM for the 5k AU bonus earlier this week and got accepted today. This after requesting for the $50 statement credit two weeks prior. I got the same exact message as #242. I've had my Explorer since early Feb.

IME, a few days after first statement posts.

After statement close date during the cycle the condition is met. Have you passed your 1st statement date yet?

Payment has nothing to do with bonus posting. That is only an AMEX's own peculiar thing and only on their in-house AMEX cards that earn Membership Reward points.

The statement credit shows up earlier, usually a couple days after the condition is met.

Also note that Chase process bonus in batches. If your charge is too close to your statement date, i.e. only 3 or 4 days, the bonus may not show up until NEXT statement.
