I have an exiting One Pass Mastercard obtained early 2012, that has been converted to a Mileage Plus Mastercard...
From the current terms and conditions:
This one-time bonus offer is valid only for first-time United MileagePlus Visa cardmembers with new accounts. Previous and existing United MileagePlus Visa cardmembers/accounts are not eligible for this bonus offer.
The wording has changed since earlier in the year... I've never held the Visa version, so I wonder if I'm in the clear to get a 2nd bonus.

Getting Miles Through Shopping Portal
First time poster here, but I have been busy reading up on the forum and ready to jump into this thing you have going.
I am trying to get the United card by following the steps outlined in this thread. I currently don't have any miles in my account, so I went thru the portal and bought something I needed anyway from the orange big box. How long does it take for the miles to post in my account?

Go sign up dining program and eat out once. Miles will post within 7 days to the Dining program then a few days to your UA account. This is the easiest and painless way.

What offer are you seeing? I think the original offer for the 65k points after first purchase + $50 credit has expired. The offer in place now is with minimum spend.
Let me know if I'm wrong.

Though the T&C state much longer periods, my points were deposited within 2 weeks.

Weeks to Months if you even get it. That is, if your purchase is even tracked correctly. Two things work against you, HD is slow in reporting purchase, Cartera, the company runs the portal, is notoriously in "losing" transactions. This is a very unreliable method.

Thanks, good information to know, I will sign up for a dining program and give that a shot while I wait for my HD miles to post if they ever do.

The deal has always been 50K + 5K for AU + 10K after 25K spend in a calender year. Now it appears you need 1K spend to get the initial 50K. Of course I cant't confirm without miles in my account, as soon as some miles post I will report back.

Though with United Club's current state, I would not have any expectation on the club.
Go to UA forum you would find the latest complaints.

My significant just received her two passes. Approximately 3 months from activating her card.

I had a dine on June 29. The miles posted a few days ago. So it takes about 10 days from the restaurant visit to the miles actually in the account.
