Chase Private Clients may be pre-approved for better or different offers, it's worth asking your banker.
__________________________________________________ _____________________
My math says a 50K offer. Where do the extra points come from?
The extra 5000 points come from adding an authorized user after you have been approved for the card. no longer available
Is there a business card?
Yes, and Flyertalk has a thread devoted to the business card: United business card currently offering 30K miles: United MP Business card: public offer now 50K miles!!
Can I apply for this card and earn the bonus after doing so previously?
How long should I wait between canceling a card and then reapplying?
What's the Chase "5/24" policy I keep hearing about?
Now that I've completed the required spend, when will my signup bonus post?
See the wiki and related discussion in Applying for Chase Credit Cards, 2017 onward
Where can I find an online copy of the guide to the card's benefits (such as purchase protection, car rental CDW coverage, etc.)?
Go to https://www.chasebenefits.com/unitedVW4
A few of the best features of the card include priority boarding, a free checked bag, and increased award ticket availability. Priority boarding and the free checked bag for cardholders is included even on the new "basic economy" fares.

Not sure about the first question but I believe it would only count as one new account. Closing an account shouldn't make a difference for 5/24 purposes.

Math Clarification
So I'm targeted for the 70 + $50 promotion - and Yes I'll qualify.
If I understand this correct, I spend 3K within the 1st week or so (none of it on United Airlines - lets call it 'everyday' spend) I will have a total of 73,000 points after the first billing cycle (thereabouts - whenever they post). This portion is simple and easily understood. ...however,
If I then proceed to spend another 22k (everyday spend) before December 31, 2016, I will receive another 22K points PLUS a 10K point bonus for spending 25k in the current calendar year? for a grand total of 105K points?
Are you sure the "10K" bonus for 25k spend isn't waived for 2016? (since i got a 70k bonus).
Seems awfully generous and the best promotion I think i've seen on this card.

I have a MP Chase Visa "Gold" card dating back pmUA (well over 10 years ago). I was targeted for this and just signed up. Given the number of Chase Choices I have banked (but lack of RDMs to actually redeem them) these 70K miles are basically going to instantly convert into $700 for me as a rebate a recent flight I booked with them. Seemed like a slam dunk for the $95 annual fee.

I have inlaws that use the UA Explorer card. I wanted to use my miles for their upcoming trip in Y... however, they said that they wouldn't receive the benefits of the card. If I pay for the taxes (and use my miles) using their UA Explorer card, will they receive the benefits?

Primary Cardmembers are eligible to receive applicable standard checked bag(s) free when they use their miles to book award travel on United-operated flights, as long as they pay for their award ticket taxes and service charges with their qualifying Card and include their MileagePlus account number in their reservation
However, I've never tried it, so can't say for certain.

My annual fee just hit for my MileagePlus Explorer card and I called to look at my retention offers / try to get the annual fee reimbursed but got offered nothing.
So I have 60 days to cancel the card and get my fee refunded correct? I'm looking to downgrade it if possible to a no annual fee card just so I can keep my AAoA up. http://www.doctorofcredit.com/chase-...e-card-review/
Will doing a PC to a different card count as a "new" card app for the 5/24 rule though?

United policy would suggest no:

I don't think my scenario is quite the same. I'm paying using MY miles but THEIR MP credit card for THEIR reservation. I want to know if they will receive the benefits for using their card on the taxes. Thoughts?

A friend of mine is targeted for 70k and got the bonus over two years ago, in 2013. He just canceled his card today. How long should he wait before applying? Does anyone have any experience with doing this?

And, of course, the 70000 is said to expire June 30 - before 45 days have passed.

Targeted, but...
Has anyone in the last few days - since June 1 - received a 70,000 match to a newly approved 50000 card?
I read of a lot of declines on other forums whether by phone or SM.
