Shoot! I was there the same weekend, but didn't look at the brochures. I won't fly SFO again until end of May.

If anyone will have access to a brochure and can PM me the code, I'd really appreciate it and will pay it forward. Thanks!

The current promotion that is going around is that the United MileagePlus Club Card has a $95 statement credit for the $395 fee. However, I came across an offer for the first year waived.

I stumbled across this an hour ago and have been trying to replicate the exact steps to get the offer to show up. I found another poster who managed to find the same offer as well on the United forum. As far as I know, it's possibly tied to either status with United or having a previous MileagePlus Explorer card. YMMV but see if it works on your end. I started off with a fresh browser and everything logged off (e.g. Chase, United, etc.):

1) Log into your United MileagePlus account via united.com
2) Click on the following link: https://www.theexplorercard.com/MPCl...rce=navigation

I clicked through to the application and there's no explicit mention of the fee waiver, so if applying I fully recommend screen-shotting everything in case an issue does arise. I can only access this link after logging in to United, so I believe this is status linked.

UPDATE: Must have status with United.
UPDATE #2: For those having trouble, others have had success clearing their browser cache and logging into Chase first before clicking on the link. Sometimes multiple clicks may be required, but it worked perfectly the way I mentioned above. One FTer found language of the fee waiver in the "Pricing and Terms" of the application.

I followed these instructions, and it worked perfectly on my end. While enrolling online, a page comes up that confirms the waive of first year fee. Note that I could not get the first year free offer until I followed these instructions and logged into Chase first.

After logging into United and checking on my reservations, I noticed that sometimes there were small ads in the upper corner of the page that advertised the 1st year free United Club Card. That might be another way to access the application.

I also see the United Club Card offer in the top right hand corner when I go the the Credit Cards page of united.com. On the front page I only get the free Explorer Card offer.

If someone has a spare brochure with an unused invite code, I would also love getting one.

Thanks in advance!

I too would appreciate a code for the first year free. Thank you.

Edit: I don't need it anymore as I have received a code. Thanks again HankAAFlyer.

Got this to work.

Opened a Chrome Incognito browser.

Clicked link.
Instantly approved!

Thanks, OP.

Might anyone have an extra access code they could pm me? I won't be at the airport for a few more weeks and this would help. Thanks to everyone as I have found these threads quite useful and look forward to contributing as I'm fairly new to the site.

For those of you looking for a code, simply pick up the brochure the next time you walk by a UAL Club. They had a stack when I was in Chicago over the weekend, although you had to specifically ask for one, as they were kept behind the counter. During a connection in Denver, both clubs were out of the brochures, but said that more should be coming in.

Given that you are all frequent flyers, simply stop by a club during your next flight. If you don't fly that often, why bother taking the ding to your FICO score just for the sake of having the card. You might then be better off with the Explorer card that comes with the 40K+/- mile enrollment bonus, in addition to two club passes.

Out of curiosity, has any non-elite called Chase and asked for the no annual fee promo?

Spare Access code

If anyone has a spare access code, would really appreciate it! Moving to Chicago and would be great to have some sort of status to begin with on UA as I will be flying them exclusively from now on. Looking forward to contributing to this site which has been extremely helpful.

From what I can recall, with this card you can get the close-in fee waived for award travel right? If anyone is travelling soon, would appreciate the code as well.

Thanks!

Already got the MileagePlus, but definitely interested in this one as well. Would really appreciate an invite code. Thanks gents.

Just got the card. Nice that they UPS Next Day'd it. Now time to get Hyatt Platinum & Avis Pres Club(?)...

Does anyone have the number for the reconsideration line? I got a "Decision Pending" probably because I have ~100k in credit with Chase CCs already and I would happily move some of that credit limit to this card. Was just about to buy club membership, this will save me that.
