I picked up a new round of cards in April, so between that and being out of the country for half the month, I wasn't closely monitoring offers in May. The April round of apps probably would have disqualified me anyway. Timing is everything, and mine has just been bad for the United cards.

If it was on their website, did you take advantage of it right then, or were you able to come back and still find it later?

First received an email for the 50K+5k offer. I applied using the link in the email. I then also received the same offer through snail mail as well.

Given this new timeframe, it's entirely possible that the transfer had absolutely nothing to do with you being targeted.

Figured I'd add a datapoint
Had to beg Chase in Feb this year to get the CSP with a 10k limit. I spend pretty good on it however...anyways applied for MP explorer on Saturday through the targeted 50k offer by logging in through united. Got a notice to wait 30 days, but figured I'd call in. Spoke to the recon line and after verifying some stuff I was easily approved with a 26k limit, a huge increase from my CSP line.

Interesting. The conventional wisdom with Chase is to never call them unless you've been denied.

I went to the United site to price out an award flight. I didnt have enough points but there was a link for the United MP Card with 50k points for spending $2k in the first 3 months, 5k points for an authorized user, and $50 statement credit. Got approved instantly in spite of 6 other chase cards (2 business).

When is Mileage Plus Explorer's next 50K bonus offer?
I really want the Mileage Plus Explorer card but I remember that, in January of this year, Chase was offering a sign up bonus of 50k miles (instead of 30k miles). I've only been in the credit card game for about a year so can someone more experienced tell me if Mileage Plus Explorer offers a 50K bonus EVERY January or if they just offer 50K bonuses at completely random times throughout the year? If the latter, how often do they offer these bonuses? I'd hate to sign up now just to see a better bonus offered in a couple of months. Thanks a heap.

Too Soon for 50K Bonus?
I recently signed the wife up for another Explorer card (last one was several years ago). The first statement cycled quickly about 2 weeks after application/approval but we still hit the 2K spend in that time. The Chase website shows her 2,050 miles earned from normal spend under "rewards history" but not the 50K sign up bonus nor the 5K authorized user bonus. I seem to remember the bonus always showing up a few days after the statement cycles once the minimum spend is satisfied. Is it likely the bonus will show up in the coming days/weeks or after the next statement cycle, or could I have a problem of possibly calculating the time since the last bonus was earned incorrectly and being SOL on getting the bonus again this time?
