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.

For discussion of Mileage Plus benefits, see the master thread in the United forum, found here: United MileagePlus Master Wiki

My GE expires July next year so I actually wouldn't be signing up for a few more months (assuming the offer is still available)
I thought the current offers all waive the annual fee. For that reason, don't you want to keep the card for a year?

Or does my status at time of booking carry over?
Yes, you'll have to pay bag fees, since you won't have status when you fly and you didn't charge the flights to the United card.

Yes. I mean if I sign up for the card, get GE renewed and reimbursed, then cancel in a year to avoid paying any annual fee, will they try to pull the GE credit back? Or is this basically a free way to get GE

I cancelled my Mileage Plus Explorer card before the annual fee renewal date but received my two complimentary United club passes via email on the same day. Will I be able to use these without the card?

I would call and downgraded to a free UA card that way you keep the credit limit, or ask if you can transfer the credit limit to another chase card.

Chase T&Cs reserve the right to claw back such credits but in practice they virtually never do.

"All New" Explorer Offer -- all pluses and no clawbacks?

Roommate received one of those folded mailers for the "all new" Explorer offer -- 50k PLUS $100 S/C after first spend on the card, 2x on dining and direct hotel bookings, GE credit every 4 years, and 5k bonus for adding an AU and one purchase on that card w/in 3 mos. of account opening. As the title above says, am I right that they have essentially just added benefits and didn't remove anything? I still see all the Premier stuff, 2x on UA purchases, 2 UC passes annually, etc. from the old card. Obviously that's great if Chase did just add without taking anything back, but I'm curious to see what I missed in the T&C's somewhere if they did a switcheroo.

Or is it really as simple as what UA said last year, that their card app's are in the tank and they just need to get more people onto Chase UA cards however possible (in which case the added benefits are worth the new cardholders to offset the minor increased cost of spend bonuses and GE credits once every 4 years).

No, mail them to me. All you need is the club pass and your BP. You're good.

Alas, most likely not.

There've been many (over a dozen) DPs over at r/churning in the past few months about folks denied entry with their electronic passes after downgrading/canceling their MPE cards. Access seems to be revoked immediately, too, as folks tried using them days after a downgrade. DPs have tried both print-outs and showing the bar codes on their electronic devices :/

Has anyone had the 4k miles on the MP explorer card credit to their account for spending over $10,000 by 31 May yet? (reduced mileage award since they removed that benefit)

I hit the threshold back in Apr, before they announced the MP Explorer changes. Still no credit.

The passes are electronic now. They almost certainly won't work.

How long does it take to get the card once approved? I got a 60K mile with $3K 3-month spend, first year fee waived targeted promo. Since I have no status anymore, this will tide me over till I make 1MM.

I asked Chase to expedite and they sent it out next business day. Unfortunately, I asked on a Friday which means it was sent out on Monday and I received it Tuesday (IIRC).

Thank you. Will ask them to do that. Unfortunately, I bought a ticket last night that has gone up $50 so no go on re-doing that one.
