If my application isn't approved instantly, should I call in?
How can I determine the deadline for meeting the spend requirement to earn the signup bonus?
After being denied, how long should I wait before applying again for the same card?
How long should I wait after closing my card before applying again for the same card?See the wiki at Applying for Chase Credit cards.
Can I have MileagePlus Explorer Business Card if I already have a MileagePlus Explorer personal card?Yes. They are different products.
If I earned a 50k bonus within last 24 months on a MP Explorer Business card with one EIN, would I be able to apply for and receive a new bonus with a new MP Explorer Business card with a different business EIN?No. Even if your businesses have separate EINs, you must wait the 24 months.
Once I meet the spending requirement, how soon will I receive my bonus points?Bonus points typically accrue at the close of the billing period in which you incur the corresponding charges. Points should appear in your United account within a day or two thereafter.
NOTE: If you complete your required spending within 7-10 days of your statement close, the bonus may not post until the following month's statement, even if the regular per-dollar points post on the first statement. This is normal behavior for Chase and is not worth a phone call.
Where can I find details on the travel & purchase-protection benefits for this card?Here: https://www.chasebenefits.com/unitedVW4

Same here. Always got the 30k offer no matter what browser trick I used.
Finally gave up and applied using the 30k link 2 mths ago. Got instant approved with 10k credit limit. Then tried to SM to match the better 50k offer but got turned down as rep said the 50k offer is a targeted offer and needed the promo code (which I didn't have). Not sure if I pursue this further with maybe another SM in a week or just call CS ?
Also wanted to apply for the personal United card again as it is now 50k with another 5k for AU. My previous app was over 2 yrs ago. Heard it was not possible to get the personal bonus if already have the United Biz bonus, but since I only got the 30k with biz, wonder if it's possible to get the 50k with the personal?

well, the easiest way to google it.

The second way is to go to any travel related blog and they will inundate you with offers.
Or you get the chase ink card and then convert your UR points to UA miles.

Now that we've got you into the correct thread I'd suggest reading the Wiki and the last 40-50 posts. Good luck.

Got the card, but no 50k/2k bonus listed
So I did get approved (after reducing the limit on another Chase card) and did receive the card today. However, the cover letter with the card does not mention the 50k/2k bonus at all (nor any similar miles/spend bonus). I kept copies of the web pages via which I submitted the application and they call out the 50k/2k bonues prominently.
Did anyone else have this problem? I haven't called Chase yet to try and sort this out but am wondering if they just aren't mentioning the bonus on the cover letter, or are actually denying it.

In my case the offer was for $2000 within 3 months.
Apparently Chase is not printing the terms of the 50k/2k (or 50k/1k or 30k/1k or whatever) bonus on the materials they send out, since the rep I talked to said that many people were calling in to verify. But they did verify the terms.

Bonus miles for MP Bus Explorer card ?
In August I got a MP Explorer individual card and received my sign up bonus miles when I had met the spending requirement. In Sept I got a MP Explorer Bus. card. Since I have received my United Club Passes and membership guide for this business card is this an indication that I might also receive the sign up bonus miles for the card?

So it looks like the only way to get the benefits of the card on a flight that was booked without the card is to hope that the person checking you in at the airport dukes it to you when you flash the card?
Is that the case, or is there any way you can know for certain before entering the airport. The reason I ask is I am considering checking in a bag if there is no fee.

You can try to check-in online 24 hours prior to the flight and go as far as entering no of bags and see if it charges you.
Edit to add: when I view my reservation on united.com, if I scroll down, there is a section "Checking bags for this itinerary" where it says exactly how much for first and second checked bag. But first make sure you MP number is on the reservation.
