[/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

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?See the wiki and related discussion in Applying for Chase Credit Cards- May 2015-Present

From the date of previous bonus to the date of application to determine the eligibility because when one earns the bonus can be on the first statement closing date or the 3rd statement closing date. There is no room for guessing when application date is used, other than people's wishful thinking.

I applied for the $50 statement credit offer this morning using the FT link and was directed to enter my MP a/c number and password after which I directly got the 'approval pending' page. I wonder if my application even went thru. Did anyone else get this? Did I do something wrong? Should've deleted cookies and all which I didn't. 
What is the "Approval Pending" page says? I have never seen a page wording in "Approval Pending". A review does not mean "Approval Pending", technically, because it could lead to a denial instead of an approval for goodness sake.

What makes you think you may have done something wrong? Unless you have not input any of your other personal data such as SSN, DOB, Personal Income etc?

If you call to check application status you'll be able to confirm whether you applied or (more likely) not: 1-800-432-3117-#-3-1-SSN

Dated 03Sep. Sorry no extra $, though.
https://creditcards.chase.com/credit...edit-card.aspx
I want to request the 50K bonus promo as a new cardholder who applied during the 30K bonus period but approval put off until I made a call to the Recon line.
Chase says I have to spend $2K first in order to be considered. As you know, the promo for 30K miles only requires $1K spending and I am in between the AFT reload time period of 29 days (I don't do the GC/MO route).
It does seem to make sense that one would spend the required amount FIRST even though not yet approved for the offer but I wanted to put it out here. What do you think? Any other advice? Thanks.

Data Point for those who still wonder about the 24 months rule whether it is related to bonus earned, and if it has anything to do with previous cancellation which is silent on the current T&Cs.
Previous card opened 04/09/2012.
Bonus earned 05/03/2012.
Card X'ed 03/05/2013.
Current card opened 08/05/14
Bonus earned 09/03/14.

Happy,
Do you have a business card or had it within last 24 month?

It is not mine, it is husband's card. He never has an UA biz card.
I currently have a business card and I can tell you that I would not even be able to see the 30k offer if I logged in since about 9 or 10 months ago. It used to be you could have both, but that changed long time ago.
Based on recent reports that either being told verbally or actually receiving postcards informing ineligibility because Chase no longer separate personal and biz bonus, personally I would not waste a HP to test it. However there are some folks have applied away anyway - may be they will get lucky and come back to tell the community their success stories, may be they will find out they are no different but get denied the bonus because their biz card bonuses got in the way - one way or the other, I would let others to be the trailblazer.

I got a similar message when I applied.
My guess was that it was another way of saying the application was denied and I would receive notice later.
About 1-2 weeks later, I got an e mail saying I had been approved and the card would be sent to me in the next week. Did receive the card about a week later.

I think the limited promo offer for 55k is dead. I just tried the links above in Wiki and all seems to default to the old 30k bonus only. Oh we'll, it was good while it lasted.
Note, the different browser trick trying to get the 50k offer never worked for me so some of you may still get lucky and get in on the better offer in the future.

am I not seeing any of the 50k pts offer links working?
i see lots of 30k
although once i logged into united.com then looked at the credit card offers..the 30k offer pops up.
i just changed the 30 to 50 in the link..
and it shows a 50k offer...
