The offer for the 65,000 United Miles + $50 Statement Credit is still active.
You have to sign up for the lower 40,000 offer and then send Chase a secure message with the 65,000 + $50 statement credit screen shot.
If you sign up for the regular 60,000 offer, and try to get the $50 statement credit later, you most likely won't get it.
If anyone needs the 65k + $50 statement credit screenshot, just PM me with your email address and I'll send you the screenshot along with the wording to send to Chase via secure message.
Everyone who has submit a secure message to get bumped up to the higher offer, has been approved.

I put in an app for this card for my husband with the 50K first use, $50 statement credit offer page used while logged into his UA account. I did not get card instantly approved with an annual income above $100K and a high credit score. Got the message they will consider and notify by mail. Chase has been taking 2-3 weeks on other cards I've applied for to get approvals.
Is there a phone number to call for talking to Chase to ask for an expedited consideration?

I bought 2000 miles for my sis, and the next day it cleared into her account. Then when she logged in she was bumped up to the 65,000 offer (50,000+5000+10,000 for a big spend).

I can see the offer.
I applied for a Chase Priority Club Rewards card in May and got it. Should I wait a few more months before applying to this one? I am not sure how a credit check in may will affect this outcome, but then again I wonder how long will this offer be there?

Posted on here previously, originally applied and received the Continental Card in 3rd/4th quarter of 2011. I received the bonus points (think it was 50,000). Applied for United Card for 65,000 points (50,000 bonus +10,000 after X amount of spend +5,000 for adding authorizer user +50 statement credit). I was not instantly approved, but called a couple days later. I was approved and card sent out to me. They transferred my credit line from the CO Card to the United Card and closed the CO Card account.
I received my $50 credit on my statement and the 50,000 United points just posted to my account today. It took about 4 weeks from original approval date. Girlfriend did the same on the same date and hers posted today too.

Just a data point to help.
Multiple readers have reported getting the "bump" after applying through the regular link in the past week, so it is definitely still working as of today.

I wouldn't suggest it, but if you are worried it might go away, maybe its worth the risk?
How many other Chase cards do you have? You'd probably have better luck if you have less cards.

General rule of thumb is to wait 90 days between personal Chase applications. However, I've had some success getting 2 Chase personal cards within a week of each other. I had to call reconsideration for both but was able to get approved for them.

I just have one chase debit card and recently got this Platinum Rewards card. The only other credit card that I have had for about two years now is a secured bank of america credit card in good standing (and looks like Macy's card also shows up as an account in good standing but I have never used it). I have not yet got the first statement of the platinum card so haven't paid anything yet.
Your odds will increase if you wait 3 months, but its your call. If you need the United miles soon, go for it. If not, then waiting probably wouldn't hurt.

Should I go for this? Or do I have time?

My wife and I each got the Chase BA 50k card about 2.5 weeks ago. Not nearly long enough for the 90 days before applications. What are people's opinions on applying for the United and trying to get the bump? Is it worth it? Do you think the time frame is too tight and I should take advantage of it now? Or will this be around for a while?
