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.

There are two downgrade choices for this card, one that earns miles and one that earns United Airlines cash back. Downgrading a card that's over 12 months old is fine. As far as upgrading in 6 months, I'm not sure. I would imagine Chase would prefer consumers to have a fee card instead of a no fee card, but maybe someone else knows if there are any restrictions and could chime in. The UR earnings cards have some limitations.

So I see 2 offers for the explorer card:
A) 60K signup bonus for $3K purchase in 3 months, first annual fee waived
B) 25K signup bonus + $250 actual credit (not necessarily united) for $2K purchase in 3 months, first annual fee waived
Any recommendation on which version is better? Are the 35K points difference (60 - 25) worth more than the $250 credit?

Has anyone tried to ask Chase to upgrade the Explorer card to the Club Card and still get the sign up bonus? Amex often gives me upgrade offers but have never heard if anyone has tried with Chase.

Called to downgrade my 1-year-old MPE card to avoid the AF. The only options offered were 1) pay the fee with $, 2) pay the fee with points, or 3) close the card. Specifically asked about PC to TravelBank card and that was not an option. Tried again with an SM, asking again for a TB card. Denied again. Said I could close the MPE card and apply for a different card.

has it been at least 366 days (maybe 367 since this year was a leap year) since you signed up? Chase will only let you downgrade cards after 1 full year so if it has been 360 days you are out of luck. If the AF hasn't hit, I would wait until it does then call about 25 days after it hits you have either 30 or 45 days after the AF to cancel and get a refund of the fee. (you should be able to see on your credit report the open date or call Chase and they will tell you)

Is your credit limit at least $5k on that card? Any lower and it can't be product changed.
