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.

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. A few days after that I called Chase to ask if there's any problem with my account. The agent said it looks fine on his end, that based on his experience I should definitely be getting the bonus points a few days after the second statement close. Well, I guess I'm the exception since we're coming on 9 days past the second statement close. I'm not overly stressed about this right now because I am no longer waiting to use these bonus miles. I managed to get our award tickets last month (via payment to recover expired miles on my spouse's account and a successful request to have UA make an exception to the 18 months deadline to recover expired miles on my account). But folks getting a new card hoping to use the bonus miles should be prepared to wait for the stated "6 to 8 weeks" or longer even though posts all over the Internet indicates most people manage to receive their bonus miles shortly after the first (or second) statement close.

Good point. I did make a few small (less than $100) gift card purchases via CardCash but the bulk were "normal" expenses -- and we've had no problem with other Chase cards allowing purchases via CardCash to count toward minimum. And we made sure to spend a couple hundred more than the minimum spend. I was just about to go analyze my spending in more detail when I decided to check my UA app once again. The bonus miles posted today (though the date on the activity log is May 13). I last checked yesterday.

Hi everyone - I generally don't fly united but was checking award availability (have chase UR to transfer) and saw an offer for 25,000 points after $2k spend in 3 months + $250 statement credit after first purchase being displayed for me. I have not tracked the United explorer mileageplus card offers so not sure how this stacks up.. is this a good offer? Only reason for me to consider signing up is to see if I can get better award availability for a trip to (PHL - NAP) in August. Thanks!

I will note, UA is in-between promotions now, so I would expect something better soon.

Currently best publically available offer is 40k to $2k, so it depends with the fee waived for the first year. So it depends if you consider $250 (or $150 if fee isn't waived) worth 15,000 miles.

What sort of CL are being issued with this card? Yes its dependent on credit, but some have a minimum like the CSR at $10k I think the Ritz too.

I cancelled my card due to new UA dynamic award pricing and got the annual fee $95 back as -$95 sitting in my closed Chase UA credit account. How can I get the money? Chase will send me check or I request Chase to transfer to my Chase checking account or better I can do that on chase.com myself?

What was the spend requirement on the 40+10k offer they had in April 2k$ for the 40k and 6 or 8k$ for the next 10k? I can't find the screen shot... already crossed the 2k, but need to know if were 6 or 8k and within what time... 
Edit never mind, found it: https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/30984295-post883.html (40k for 2k$ in 3mo, 20k for 8k in 6mo)

Expired offer??
I’m interested in the $250 statement credit wit the explorer mileage plus card, but I no longer see the offer any more.
Can I phone up chase to ask for the old offer?

In general, if the offer's gone, it's gone (though it may come back). Offers change all the time and have expiration dates.

It won’t hurt to call. The best ever Ritz card offer was matched for several months back 4-5 years ago.
