I got an email solicitation a few weeks ago for the 50k miles/$2k spend offer. It also includes 5k miles for an AU and one purchase. I was reluctant to apply because Chase rejected my UA card application a few months ago for "opening too many new accounts". But my app over the weekend sailed through with instant approval and a generous $35k CL.

Anybody knows how long will it take for the mileageplus account to reflect that I have an explorer card? I have been approved for the card last week and I want to book an award in XN as soon as possible. Thanks!

I applied about a week ago for the 30k offer.
Activated last night.
Today, I got an email about a 50k offer.
Can I call and get the better offer? Is this a thing?
EDIT: Got the 50k offer for 2k spending. Easier than expected.

anyone had recent success applying for 30k offer and being matched to 50k through SM? I remember reading that that was working a lot awhile ago.

Maybe it's time to update the Wiki, unless I'm wrong the 50,000 mile offer is dead?

I'm only getting a 30k offer when I click on the link, I understand its semi targeted but if I transfer some UR points to my united account will it give me the 50k offer?

Anyone know if I can get the free baggage benefit if I booked a United Flight using KrisFyler points? The benefit indicates that the ticket must be purchase using the card.

United Mileage Plus Explorer Card
I had this card about 20 months ago and cancelled it a couple months after spending the requirement and collecting the 50K bonus miles. I re-applied for the card back in April and was declined, didn't call the recon line at the time. I have recently got a few solicitations in the mail for this card as well as the MP Club card. I want to get this card again and keep it. Any insight into how long I need to wait, is it a good sign I'm getting the solicitations? Thanks in advance.

United Mileage Plus Explorer Card
I'd call them to discuss it, especially since you received the solicitation. Although I've heard they are not always indication of auto approval. I
have the biz version and like it. One of the very few airline cards that actually offers good benefits: 2x pts at office supply stores, restaurants and gas stations...and primary insurance coverage with rental cars.
Good luck.

What reason(s)?
They really don't mean much. They're just marketing. Even a preapproval isn't a guarantee.
