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.

Hi there, so I'm finally canceling my authorized user card on a grandfathered United Mileage Plus Select card and planning to apply for the Explorer card instead. I regret not applying for it in the past when I was invited to and when the bonus was much better (70,000+ bonus miles) than the current one (40,000 plus 25,000 after hitting spend targets). The current promo expires January 8. Do you think the offer will be better or worse than after that date? Should I wait?
Edit: I'm not worried about hitting the 65,000 mile spend target. I certainly could get there, though I'd rather still use my Sapphire card as my primary everyday card.

Is there - by chance - any referral bonus for this card?

I have a big spend coming up and would like to garner a spend bonus. This CC seems more appealing now that it comes with Global Entry or Precheck credit and with the 50k link remaining. I'm exSEA and AS and DL are my go-to airlines. Even AA is ahead of UA for frequency. I have a Select that I need to retain for credit history reasons (10 years in my wallet), and it gives 2x on grocery store purchases.
Is there an in-bank promotion on this CC? Anything else to consider before applying?

I have a targeted offer 50K after $3K in 3mo AND $100 statement credit after first purchase AND $0 intro annual fee for first year. Has anyone else gotten this offer? Do you know when it expires? I don't see it written anywhere unless I'm missing it.
I mainly want the card because I need to renew GE in July. I have alot of work travel in the next 2mo so I'm not sure I will be able to meet the spend in 3mo. Getting the card later would be easier.

When booking a ticket, it appears in the ad under the Gold colored "View Account | Sign out" thing in the top right.
https://www.theexplorercard.com/50k100AFWIC
I just tried it now, it prompts me for my MP#, after entering it, it shows the offer
I assume it is targeted if you have to login to see it.
I haven't followed the typical offers for a while. Is this a pretty good one? I generally value cash more than miles. I am unlikely to spend $10K. The card offers no benefits that I don't already have with the exception of upgrade eligibility on award travel and 2 UC passes (that I sometimes struggle to use). I want to sign up now to get my GE renewed for free. In the past UA paid for this, but they cut it. UA also use to provide a $50 credit. I could always get at least a $50 credit every year from chase so the card cost me nothing. I canceled it after UA killed the credit. (It's been over 24mo)

I think the offer you linked is about as good as it gets, especially if you wont spend $10k. The $100 statement credit is what makes it good in my opinion. I just missed out on the statement credit when I got mine. The baseline core offer is 40K miles. 50K is good. I think a small group were targeted for 60K when then the card launched but that seemed rare. If I were you I'd jump on the 50K offer with $100 credit.

Sure looks like it's been reintroduced. I think the 40K (spending $3k) + 25K bonus (if you spend $10k) has just finished.

Thanks for the advice.
I actually got 70K when I first signed up in 2013. I remember they awarded me 50K at first. I complained to chase that it was supposed to be 70K and they gave me another 20K. I don't recall having to spend so much either. I THINK I got a $100 credit too that time.

I asked chase about this promotion. They stated " please note that the offer is still ongoing since October 9, 2018, and is not set to expire any time soon"

The inflight offer is also still 50,000 miles and appears to have no expiration date. This URL is printed on all the brochures in the seatback pockets, and I doubt those are going away anytime soon:
unitedexplorercard.com/inflightoffer
The link a few posts up is better with the $100 statement credit, but at least the inflight offer appears to be around for a while.
