For people who constantly get new cards it certainly isn’t a good use of $3K spend. But for those of us who don’t/can’t do that 4+X miles per dollar isn’t a bad offer.

I signed up for the card again last week. I think this is the 4th time I'm getting the card... (always wait 2 years) Card showed up in my chase account the next day, and the two passes in my UA account.
Thanks for the tip, I just got approved for UA Explorer and used that promocode for 2500 extra miles.

Quest requires $5k spend for 80k, and this is just $1k more for 70k, not much difference here, that's why I applied for Explorer and not Quest.

Just received the following promotion vie email. 5x miles back on grocery, restaurants and Amazon is pretty impressive.





My screenshots cut off the following in between shot 1 & 2:
"...purchases made at
Amazon.com (including digital downloads, Amazon.com Gift cards, Amazon Fresh orders, Amazon Prime
subscriptions, and items sold by third party...."

Register by January 31, 2022, at 11:59 p.m. CT, and your total number of purchases from December 31, 2021, through March 31, 2022, will be counted toward the bonus offer requirements. All purchase transactions must be posted by the merchant by the last day of the month. You will qualify for and receive bonus miles if you make purchases with your credit card as designated by your personalized offer. If you make the number of purchases and spend the designated amount for January by January 31, 2022, you will receive the number of bonus miles designated for this month. If you make the number of purchases and spend the designated amount for February by February 28, 2022, you will receive the number of bonus miles designated for this month. If you make the designated number of purchases and spend the designated amount for March by March 31, 2022, you will receive the number of bonus miles designated for this month. You are only eligible for the additional bonus miles designated in this offer if you make the number of purchases and spend the designated amount for each of the three months, January through March. Delays by the merchant, such as shipping, could extend the transaction date beyond the offer period. Please allow 6–8 weeks after the promotion ends on March 31, 2022, for bonus miles to post to your MileagePlus account. (“Purchases” do not include balance transfers, cash advances, traveler’s checks, foreign currency, money orders, wire transfers or similar cash-like transactions, lottery tickets, casino gaming chips, race track wagers or similar betting transactions, any checks that access your account, interest, unauthorized or fraudulent charges, or fees of any kind, including an annual fee, if applicable.) To qualify for this bonus offer, account must be open and not in default at the time of fulfillment. Credit card product changes during the promotional period will forfeit this bonus offer. This promotional offer is nontransferable and applies only to the account ending in the last four digits referenced in this offer. Additional terms may apply.

Chase is not responsible for the provision of, or failure to provide, the stated benefits and services. Bonus miles will post directly to your United MileagePlus® account and will not appear on your credit card statement.
Nada..

We’re sorry — your United MileagePlus®Credit Card isn’t eligible for this promotion. We apologize for any confusion. Thank you for being a Cardmember.

If I have a United Explorer, and I booked a flight at United.com via an AmEx Platinum (to get the 5x points), would I get the Priority Boarding and/or the free checked bag benefits on that trip?
