Current public offer as of March 2024: 100k for $5K spend in 3 months: https://creditcards.chase.com/busine...ard?iCELL=6C1Y

Note: This is now branded as the United Business Card, without the "Explorer" branding. It is believed that this is considered by Chase to be a new product compared to the Explorer Business Card.

Can I apply for this card after earning a previous bonus on it?
Are there are any rules or restrictions to keep in mind when applying for an Ink card?

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

I've always wondered about that. The fine print says "Same-day boarding pass required," but doesn't elaborate.

Perhaps you overlooked Chase INK Cash, a business card which is marketed as a cash-back card, but earns Ultimate Rewards points:

2% cash back
Earn 2% cash back on the first $25,000 spent in combined purchases at gas stations and restaurants each account anniversary year.

Earn 1% cash back on all other purchases–with no limit to the amount you can earn.*

Thanks.... yeah, I guess I hadn't seen that one since it's not marketed as a business card (not that it matters, I suppose).

One downside (or maybe two) is that it's just a cash back card so I lose out on the 1.5% CSR gives me when I get UR points and xfer them. Another (kind of) downside is that cash back is boring. I get cash for work everyday. I want some points or something to use towards a vacation, etc.

Funny though, these are the exact same % and categories (but I get the 1.5% kicker on the URs) as my Chase Business Ink Plus that is no longer offered. I guess I'm content for now with that card but some of these sign-up bonuses sure look nice.

It is written under UC's "Club Access":

"Effective November 1, 2019, United Club customers, including members and their guests, and one-time pass holders will need to provide a same-day boarding pass for travel on United, Star Alliance or a contracted partner for entry into all United Club locations. Admittance to United Club locations is permitted only at the departure and arrival airports for United, Star Alliance or contracted partner operated flights."

1) All INK cards are business cards.
2) INK Cash is marketed as a cash-back card, but earns Ultimate Rewards points. You can Combine the points earned by INK Cash with the points earned by Sapphire Reserve.
3) Recent comparison of INK Cash with the discontinued INK Plus is here: Keep grandfathered Ink Business Plus or change it?

Do we have any data points re this? I am thinking of giving it a try buying 7x$100 credits since I’m planning to buy a couple of international flights soon. Also, will the baggage benefits apply if I pay using travel bank$ and partially using my UA card?

Thanks

Just saw this - I never tried it last year, but will this summer right before I buy tickets for next spring. Regarding the baggage benefits, yes, partial pay/TB worked for me. There was a reference to it last summer as well on FM.

Quick update on this. Buying 7x$100 Travel Bank credits did trigger the $100 statement on the UA business version of the card. Also, partial pay on the Quest + TB did give the extra baggage benefits to both passengers.

The UA Biz card has a $100 United benefit??

Never knew...

Is it provided per fiscal year - or card anniversary date?

Searched for days to see if this was possible! Do you happen to know if I can get the credit as soon as I get the card or is it a year 2 onward thing? Also can I add to someone else’s travel bank? Also, do you know of any other dps that have done this?

With UA business and personal Gateway (no annual fee personal card) combination, it is still egiliable for 5000 annual miles , correct? I have my Biz annual fee posted for more than 1 month ,but haven't seen the milesage posted yet. Any one has experience on this?
