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.

Be aware that a person who holds a Sapphire Reserve is not eligible to open a Sapphire Preferred:
https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/chas...hire-card.html
https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/chas...hire-card.html
Instead of the Sapphire Preferred, both of you can apply for Chase Ink Business Preferred which gets you 80K UR points with $5k spend. You just need to have some business expenses, although in practice I don't think Chase or others do any validation of business revenue.
Are you under 5/24? You may not be able to get all these cards if not (google "chase 5/24" and learn about this limitation).

I'm have the club card for multiple years now. Does anyone know if I can apply for the explorer card for the new bonus and keep my club card still?

Used the first link in the Wikipost, for the 50,000 miles.
On the application form:
"Please enter the 6-character promotional code written on the application you received from your flight attendant. If you do not have a code, please enter 999999."
Went smoothly for my young adult son. When first intending to apply from his Mileage Plus account, the advertising once he signed in only offered 40,000 miles.
So I showed him this alternative.

United Mileage Plus. Cancel or get a new one?
I have had my United Mileageplus Explorer card for 3 years now. I don’t really use it. I saw a new offer, so I thought I might apply and then I’d take a trip and call it a day. I called chase to make sure I’ve had the card open for 24 months and it turns out it’s almost 3 years. So I explained I wanted to open a new one to get the new offer. The customer service rep said I can not do that. It is “frowned upon.” I said it doesn’t say you cannot apply bc it’s frowned upon. She said I couldn’t apply bc I already have had the bonus.
My questions for the experts: Can I open a new card, do the spend, and get the bonus? Or am I hosed? Can I cancel the current card today and apply tomorrow? Or do I have to wait 24 months?

You cannot have the card and apply for it. Therefore, cancel the card you have. Do it now. A month from now, apply for it again. Hopefully, the CSR didn't note anything on your record. In the future, don't call and tip your hand like that. Your handle is apt.

Does this card give the holder a discount on food or alcohol purchases while on board? Thanks.

I suspect you're right and the statement that "This product is available to you if you do not have this Card and have not received a new Cardmember bonus for this Card in the past 24 months" leaves out other conditions.
But I decided to try anyway. I'm grasping at straws, of course, but the mailer says, "Congratulations, David, on using your miles for an award." I did redeem an award recently, so my offer seems to be one targeted to people who don't have the card and recently redeemed an award. I'm pending, and expecting nothing, so if I have any good news to report, it will be a surprise, and I'll certainly mention it here.

Thought I would check as I don't want to apply if there is no chance.

Not aware of any mailers for the United card that bypass 5/24.
