PC card and to a certain degree MR card, fall in the "consensus". Even BA card can be churned in less than 2 years. Chase seems to be much more restrict with UA card and CO card.

Questions:
1) Is the older UA card the same Explorer card as this one?
2) Please report back whether you would get the bonus or not because the practice of Chase is, it would give you the card but not necessarily the sign up bonus if you have had the same card before. The only time it would give you a second bonus is the 2nd card a different product from the 1st card, hence question 1).

Doesn't seem like the "65k" offer is there anymore. I tried this a month ago and was shown the offer, but now my account only shows the 30K offer from the landing page.

It looks to be targeted because my wife and I both have fresh miles in our United accounts. I follow the same procedure for both (Incognito window and use the link in the first post). I get 30K (+5, +10) and she gets 50K (+5, +10).

You know, it's starting to sound like the difference is that they recently fixed the targeting, and now it's working correctly.

Question? I hit the required spending but when/where do I transfer the points over to my UA account? I see that they have cleared on the Chase Website but do they go directly to my MP account? Seem that I cannot find the path to get them to UA.

Quick question for the experts here:
My free year is about to end (in April 2013), and I believe I read somewhere here that I should cancel the card before my anniversary date so that I dont have to pay annual fee. What happens to the miles that I have accrued from this card? Do they stay in my United account or I should use them before cancelling?
Thanks,
-p2

With Chase co-branded cards, the only miles in jeopardy are those on your LAST statement. And even then, sometimes they post fine.
Chase will often waive the annual fee on this card if you decide you want to keep it. Search in this thread for experiences: http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/credi...all-cards.html

Thanks a lot for the prompt reply!! That helps a lot 
You can cancel up to a month (or sometimes a little more) AFTER your annual fee posts. So you have plenty of time. Exactly when to cancel is a somewhat hotly debated topic. Many of us think it's best to keep the card as long as possible - helps your credit report a little and makes it less likely you'll be branded as a "churner".

So I kept getting the 30K offer using the link. Stopped by my local Chase bank today and they had the 50K offer available to anybody who walked in the door. Fairborn, OH.
