- 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

here is my situation with UA MP Explorer card....i had this card back in 2012 when i got the 50k bonus, i closed my account on 11/13
Applied for new card in 3/15 as it has been over 24months since i got my previous bonus...my statement closed on 4/6 and i only see 5k bonus miles for adding authorized user posted to my UA account
Called chase and they say that i should probably receive it next statement and i should get the bonus unless i had an account open in past 2yrs.....i told them that the terms and conditions said 24months since last time i got the bonus awarded....she was a bit confused and mentioned that i should wait until next statement? I met the 2k spend well before statement closed....i am a bit worried...
Did i screw up the 50k bonus since i got the new card within 24months of CLOSING the previous account? Anyone with similar experience?

You would need to earn that bonus in 02/2013 in order to be eligible for another bonus in 03/15 app.
Chase usually would send out a postcard if you are not eligible for a bonus. That usually comes very conveniently / inconveniently at the statement closing on the cycle when you met the spend. If you have not received such postcard, chances are it is a timing issue. With Chase you need to meet spend 7 to 10 days before statement close. If there are holidays, it may need more days still. Else it would be on the next statement. Exactly how long you have met the spend before the statement closing date?

Do you know EXACTLY when your previous bonus is earned? Hint: Bonus usually is posted on Statement close date, that is the earned date.

That will put me around 2/13 to be eligible again not 2/12. Am i missing something? I can't check when exactly i got the bonus last time...in my UA statements i can only go as far back as 12/01/2012 and i don't see the bonus posted anytime after 12/01/2012..i guess its time to start a AoR google docs sheet to keep track!
Just went back to my transactions....my statement closed on 4/6 and i hit the 2k mark on 4/2
I will probably wait until the next statement close before i freak out....

Thanks for the reply....but, i thought the eligibility criteria is "you have not received a new card member bonus for this product in past 24months "

You met spend too close to the statement close date. You will see your bonus next statement because Chase cut off date for tally up eligible spend for sign up bonus purpose, is at least 7 days, and longer if there are holidays there.

If those don't show the 50,000 offer, then the best you can do is apply for the 30,000 offer and then request a match via secure message or telephone. Chase is usually pretty good about matching offers, but there's no guarantee.

I got the united personal card 50k personal card bonus on 4/2013, and the united business card bonus on 4/2014, so can I apply now for the personal card again, or do I need to wait 1 year more as personal and business cards are treated as the same product for the 2 year rule.

Do we need to present our chase card if we use the one-time lounge passes? I am planning to cancel my card but I just received new club passes in the mail. Never used them before...

Looks like the personal Explorer card is now at 50k standard, and the business card remains 50k.

Possible to get the 55k + $50 offer simply by making a dummy booking on United site. Should show on the first page after you click search to the right a bit.
