** DIRECT 50k APP LINK **
For those of you who can't get the 50k offer to appear, here is the redirect link to the application that I saved a while back. You will NOT see the 50k splash page so YMMV, but this is the link that I followed and I can confirm that it worked for me. If you take a close look at the URL you can see that it's slightly different from the 30k redirect, so I'm guessing that the "DZ9V" and/or "06P" codes you for the higher offer.
1. Clear all cookies/history from your browser
2. Log into your United account and click on the 30k banner
3. Paste or click on this link:
https://www.theexplorercard.com/UMPC...6P&REFERID=TEC
You should get a "please wait while we prepare your application" page, and then an application with your UA FF# and address pre-filled. If you get a "Try Again" page, go back and repeat the steps. You need to be logged in AND click on the 30k banner to get the application to load.
Like I said, YMMV, but I used this link back in November and received the 50k + 5k bonus.

Hello all,
I am new to this flying stuff, please go easy! Just came across these forums, and they are super helpful. I had a quick question about the UA MileagePlus Explorer Card I was hoping you could answer:
Are the free promotional miles, be it 30K or 50K, counted towards your frequent flyer miles? On the United MileagePlus website, it says you need to accrue about 30K miles to book a 1-way flight to Europe from the US.
Does this mean if I sign up with UA MileagePlus, then apply for an Explorer card and make $1,000 worth of purchase, receive the 30K miles, that I can book a 1-way award flight to Europe from the US using the miles earned from the Explorer card? If this is the case, that blows my mind!
Anyway, thanks in advance everyone!

65K Offer
The link appears to work for me in IE if I am currently logged into United.com and the 30K offer is clicked and opened. However, nowhere in the loaded page with offer codes menetioned earlier does it state precisely what the mileage credit will be. If I were to submit to this online credit offer, what guarantees are there that 50K sign on bonus and 5K for additional card will be offered? I wonder if any one has called an 800 number (pl share the number if so) to try and replicate the 55K offer?

50K no more
I just logged into my United account and the 50K deal is no longer there. Also, just received an email with an offer for the Mileage Plus Explorer Card, 30K + 5K + 10K offer.

I just received an email from United with the 30K offer.
Notably, it states that the offer is valid until March 15. Do you guys think there's a new offer on the horizon?

You need to follow the steps exactly:
1. Clear cookies/cache
2. Log into your United account
3. Click on the 30k banner so you see an "Apply Now" button
4. Click or paste the link
This is the link that I used in November and the 50k + 5k bonus posted to my UA account on the second statement without needing to call a CSR. This in spite of the fact that I had a Chase Continental MasterCard that was less than a year old! Remember the first rule of FT -- never call a CSR unless you have to.
This may be a similar situation to the Citi AAdvantage cards, where people used direct links to the application for years without having the comfort of the bonus splash screen. If 30k is the best offer that you can get to show, you have nothing to lose by trying this one instead. Good luck!

One more data point: My wife got the 55k offer 2 months back and we forgot about the 50$ statement credit. I sent a SM to Chase and in 2 days, they credited 50$. I love Chase and it's secure message system.
