Do you have any miles in other programs? I would use the points.com site to transfer a few miles into a MileagePlus account. Worst case scenario, you just buy 1000 miles from United. I transferred 1,000 Ultimate Rewards points into my MileagePlus account and I was able to access the offer page instantly.

Looks targeted. I clicked on it just now and all it took me to was a sign in page...

I've been searching for an answer to this question with no avail. Hopefully someone here can help. My friend has an old United MileagePlus card from at least 5 years ago. In addition, he has a Continental OnePass card from 2 years ago. Unfortunately, he wasn't aware of the merger and the OP card was automatically converted into the MileagePlus Explorer card last month. So basically, he has 2 MileagePlus cards now, one old, one new.
Now he's wondering if it's still possible to cancel this Explorer card and apply for a new one with the 65K bonus offer. I told him I kind of doubt he would receive the bonus since records will show he's already had one (even though it was converted from his old OP card).
Has anyone had a similar experience and was able to get the bonus by applying for a new Explorer card even after conversion?
Thanks.

For most of these offers, I find I have to click through it twice to get to the offer. The first time, it just takes me to a catalog page of some sort. Close it, click the link again, and it takes me to the offer.

You must create a MP account first so you know where to transfer your UR points.

which number do you call if your application is pending review?
also i applied for the British Airways Visa and United Explorer at the same time.
is that the reason why one got approved and the other is pending review?
can i call and ask them to approve the United Explorer instead of the British Airways Visa?

Denied on 1st App, 2nd App card just arrived-weird
Friend applied for the UAL Explorer a couple of months ago. Denied for too many Chase accts (apparently, I didn't see the letter).
Friend called for reconsideration on my advice. Told: no can do as more than 30 days from date of app have passed (isn't it 30 days from date of turndown?). But, you can re-apply.
Friend re-applies ten days ago. Card arrives in mail today.
As far as I know, nothing has changed, no Chase cards cancelled, no change in job, credit score.
Why did friend get 2nd Explorer card, but not 1st?
Any thoughts?

I did, and many other people here did as well. The rule is you get the bonus is your continental card was opened b4 July 2011, which seems to be your case. I have United Mileage Plus, United Plus Gold, CO One Pass (opened last May) converted automatically to Explorer, and then applied for the new explorer. So yes, two old united M+ cards, and two explorer cards for me, bonus posted for both.
Just making sure I'm understanding this right: I have an old UA mileage plus card from June 2010. If I cancel this card, I can apply for a new Explorer card and get the 65k bonus miles? Or can I just apply separately?
Thanks!

So you received the miles before your first statement closed? I just asked about posting times (via SM) and was told the miles would post 4-6 days after the statement closes.

I applied and got approved Chase Continental OnePass MasterCard in February this year. I got 40K miles bonus in March, and additional 5K miles and $50 statement credit after I contacted Chase CS and asked them to match United 50K offer. my question is: when should I cancel the card and re-apply for United MileagePlus card from Chase? or just keep the Continental Card until the annual fee is due in Feb 2013?
Currently I have 5 Chase CC, Chase Continenal, Sapphire Preferred, Chase Amazon, Chase Southwest, and Chase Freedom.
Thanks

You will not get bonus for UA card because the cut off date was July 14 2011 - i.e. anyone who applied CO card after that date is deemed to have earned the CO/UA bonus and not eligible for a 2nd one.
