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.

Received an email titled "Accelerate Your Miles with this limited-time offer".
I've not see mention of it anywhere, so wondered if it's a general offer or some specific promo I was a target for.
Earn 1 additional mile per $1 spent on your gas station and grocery store purchases. Earn your bonus from the month you register through June 30, 2019.

(since I started that other thread...)
i think it is essentially the same promo, but they are varying the categories. For my Select card they are offering me the bonus for gas and dining categories (both 2X + 1X bonus), but not the 2X category groceries. That might be because I have used this card pretty much only for grocery and hardware store purchases over the course of the last few years.

Do you have to use the card for flights to get benefits like priority boards/free bags etc?

You will get priority boarding even if you don't pay with the card. I get priority boarding every flight and I never use the card to buy the flight.

You do need to pay with the card to get the free bags benefit. I buy all my flights with Amex, so I never get free bags.

Group 2 boarding appears to be tied to your MP number, so you get it anytime, but the bag benefit is just if you use the card, so if you value your Amex points at less than your bag fees, I recommend using your UA card.

As others have said, to get the free checked bag you have to use the card to buy the ticket. I try to decide when when booking whether I will need a bag, and decide which card to use from there.

You also have to have your MP number in the booking to get the free checked bag. So, if you'd earn much more miles on another carrier, you have to check your bag first before you change the frequent flyer membership on your booking. (This is the opposite order to the order the kiosks present those options, or at least it was last time I did it!)

Thanks for sharing your data point. I finished my $3K min spend 11 days before statement close date. I know the documentation says 6 to 8 weeks; but I had read posts here and elsewhere saying it can happen within days of finishing the minimum spend (with no differentiation as to first or later statements). I think if the bonus miles don't post by Tuesday, I'll assume it's not going to happen with this first statement. I can't wait until the next statement close since I'm looking at a June trip; I'm pretty nervous about not having tickets yet for an international trip. I hesitate calling Chase as I figure they'll just tell me the official "6 to 8 weeks" statement.

Just reporting back so folks have a new data point. I have NOT received my 50,000 sign-up bonus miles to date. I got approved on March 4. As my old posts indicate I finished the minimum spend of $3K ~11 days before first statement close (or that's my interpretation). Nothing came days after my first statement close. My second statement closed on May 4.

My wife's bonus also took an unusually long time. I expected it (based on my past experience) to be after the statement where we met spend closed, but we had to wait until after the third balance closed and a few days after that. So I assume we had to wait for a balance to close past the 90 day spend threshold. Didn't really want eyes on the account so we just waited and it eventually came.
