I signed up for points.com and registered my BestBuy reward zone acccount there, as well as my brand new zero balance United MileagePlus account. Then I swapped 48 Best Buy points (gotten entirely for free by taking audience rewards quizzes at 2 pts per correct answer) for 13 united miles. The process took like 3 days, but BAM yesterday the 65K offer showed up for me as soon as the transfer completed. You can just transfer like 10 miles from another FF program into mileage plus via points.com, even. Of course it won't be 1:1 but still.. gets you enough points to get the offer. |

Sorry if this has already been posted earlier in this thread, but I didn't notice it -
The offer (now) includes the following language: "If your account is not open for at least six months, United and Chase reserve the right to deduct the bonus miles from your MileagePlus Program account." |
I finally got around to taking advantage of this tonight. I have found that the website is down for me, in multiple browsers. However when looking on the UA website I only see the 40k offer both when logged in and when logged out, and through multiple browsers on multiple computers. I am confused! Thoughts? is the application site down for others?

Very Happy
Card came today (applied on April 19) and rep confirmed (without me asking) I am eligible for 50K + 5K + 10K promotion. I am especially happy because I was thinking that there was a spend requirement for this card, but now I realize I am just required to make a first purchase. Very happy here!

3 Weeks ago, I applied for and got approved for this card.
10 days ago, I had the $50 statement credit applied, and I got a letter stating that they upgraded my offer to the 50k points. 3 days ago, I got another letter stating that I wont get any points because I had a United card last year (Regular United Visa). So far, no points have posted to my account. Anyone else have this happen? Suggestions on what to do? |
club passes
i was wondering how long it has taken for people to receive the club passes. I was approved in mid-februrary and have not received mine, though the explorer benefit guide that was sent in the mail some time last week does say 8-12 weeks after sign up and after each renewal to receive the passes. thanks in advance.

i got mine after 6 weeks, they offered me 4 passes, nice!

Good offer. Just closed my United Mileage Plus account after 2 years because I didn't spend enough to offset the annual fee. It's too bad that you can only obtain/maintain United miles via these cards.

This is the letter I sent. Yes with Spelling Mistakes :p
Der Sir/Madam I had applied for a United Mileage Plus Chase visa about 45 days ago and got approved, but unfortunately right after I applied came up with a better offer of 65K Miles and a $50.00 Statement Credit. Being a long time chase customer and a valuable one at that, I would greatly appreciate if you can match the latest offer. This is the Answer I got today Thank you for your recent inquiry on your United MileagePlus Explorer credit card account. We have applied a $50.00 statement credit and 5,000 bonus miles to your account. You will see these adjustments on your next billing statement. Please be aware you can earn the remaining 10,000 bonus miles if you spend $25,000 in purchases in any calendar year (January through December). This will then give you a total of 65,000 miles. If you have any further questions, please reply using the Secure Message Center. Thank you, |
My wife applied under the 40K offer. I had her send a secure message saying there was a better offer out there and if they could match the offer. They sent a message back saying there would be an extra 25K on her next statement as well as a $50 statement credit and they would add 5K for adding an AU.
