My wife and I each signed up for this card. We could only get the 30,000 mile offer to appear on the web. But after we got our cards we sent a secure message to Chase to request the 50,000 mile bonus.
My wife already had a mileage plus account for several years and she was offered 50,000 miles after an initial $1000 spend. I have a brand new mileage plus account and I also got the 50,000 mile bonus offer, but my initial spend is $2000 in three months.
We'll add each other as authorized users for the extra 5000 miles each.

If you met that spend within 7-10 days of that close date, the bonus won't post until the second statement. Pretty frequent issue with Chase. Regular points post but not spend-related bonus.

So like I said I applied on 1/17. My card was linked with my MileagePlus account so a few days later (1/21) I made a UA purchase without having received my card yet. I received the $50 statement credit on 1/25. Then I made another purchase on 1/30, passing the minimum spend threshold. On 2/3 I paid my balance in full attempting to trigger a statement closing (which happened) expecting all my bonus miles to post with the statement (which didn't happen).

You can call if you want but it would usually post on its own after the second statement, in a case like this.

Right, I was posting my timeline to point out to people that paying your balance in full WILL trigger your first statement to close and that you SHOULD wait to do this until 7-10 days after meeting your minimum spend in order to get the bonus as soon as possible.

Does anyone have an offer code that would have been "live" in Dec.??
I used the 50,000 bonus point click through to apply for 2 cards in Dec to get ready to satisfy the PQD requirements for 2014. One for me and one for my SO. We both have the same status (exact same miles earned for 2013) and the same credit score. I used the link in each of our accounts within 15 minutes of each other. We were approved immediately and the cards arrived promptly.
Now that we both have satisfied the initial spend required to get the bonus, I see that one account earned the 50000 mp miles and the other earned only the 30000.
I called Chase to figure out what went wrong and they said they could help me if I had the "offer code" I used. I said I used a click through and whatever code should have been automatically entered.
They said they would research and let me know but that it would be really helpful if I had an offer code.
Anyone???

No offer code required but I did find one on a 50000 point flyer that arrived in the mail addressed to me (meaning I did actually qualify for the target).

In the mail yesterday my wife and I each received targeted offers for 50k bonus / $2000 spend. We only created MileagePlus accounts a month or so ago and she currently has no miles in hers.
Just FYI that there is another way to get 50k other than going into a branch or using the link in the wiki.

I know that one can apply and SM to get the bonus, but I just wanted to point out again that it seems like the information in the wiki no longer works. Has anyone gotten it to work in the last few days? Every time it says "Page not found" when following the instructions. Has there been a technical fix to the site that prevents this previous method from working?

Just tried this, but still can't get it to show anything but the 30k mile offer. Not sure what the problem is.

Apologies if this asked before but
when do the bonus 50k miles actually post?
Mrs lhrpitlhr got the 50k offer, and we spent the required $2k during 1st billing cycle.
The 1miles:$1 posted, along with 5k miles for me being a 2nd cardholder, but nothing else.
Plan is to cancel the card as soon as 50k miles post, then wait for another offer to roll around.....

I was approved for the Explorer card on 2/6 and received the card on 2/10. When will I get my 2 Club passes?

The club passes will come in about 3-4 weeks in a big thick envelope from United, with brochures on the benefits and stuff.

I just said after I applied for the 30k bonus that I saw the 50k bonus and I would like for them to match the offer. They said they would.
