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

Thanks, the downgrade was in 2012 so it definitely shows Mileage Plus Card online.

Just charge it to your (or AU) card and the credit will appear when the charge posts. It doesn't matter who it's for.

Did the 50,000 Airline offer= they ask for the code from a flight but then say if you don't have it type in all number 9. Did so and was just approved and confirmed 50,000 bonus.

WEAK! I didn't know about this little trick and ended up with the 40k offer, although I kinda like only having to do a $2k spend instead of $3k!

Ohhhh welll!

How likely is that the 40,000 mile offer will really end on 8/15/18?

Do the 2 United ClubSM one-time passes admit entry to only the card holder, or could I bring a guest?

If the 2 United ClubSM one-time passes are for single/1 person use, could my wife use the other one (she would be with me)?

Thanks. I see the 50k link posted and it appears to work just fine. I'm not concerned about holding out for the best offer. I was more concerned that the 40k offer may disappear....but then I can't imagine that happening, despite their published date of 8/15. I'd prefer to wait until around September or October to get the card.

4000mi bonus hit my MP account. my issue is that i spent over $25k on the card prior to june 1, so i should have received a 10k bonus.

any advice?

Did you cross the $25,000 threshold just a few days before the deadline?

Chase appears to cut off bonus tracking a week or so before statement closing dates, and then pickup the missed transactions in the next period. I cannot say if this accounts for your specific discrepancy, but it seems possible.
