Should I wait until this statement closes to apply for the UA visa? Or does it really have no bearing? I just don't want to take any chances with my BA miles, but I also know this deal could dissapear any day. Oh, and is there a minimum spend requirement for this one? |
This is definitely a great deal, much better than the normal 30k bonus. I've had two friends apply for this. Its a little tricky that you have to go through the UA agent in order to reach Chase. I asked the Chase agent if there was a direct phone number, but they said there isn't. You have to go through UA.

Wife called and
got through to CHase. She was unilaterally told that she had a Visa and could not apply. The only Visa she has is the BA... She had a UA Visa a while back but it was cancelled and there is no record of it online. Any thoughts?

They transferred me to Chase, I applied and got approved for the card. So, the deal is still on. You must however have the cust. rep at United transfer you. If you go through the phone tree and try to apply for the card, it will lead you to a dead end.
Good luck and jump on it now, b/c I doubt it will be around for very long. Got approved five minutes back over phone. Will receive card in 2 weeks. Unlike: http://www.united.com/page/article/0,6867,53395,00.html Chase agent mentioned that there is no $250 minimum to be charged on card to get 50K promotion miles. They will be deposited after first usage of card. |
Just Applied for It
scary--i got all the way to the end with that offshore CSR, and then the phone got disconnected on her end......I hope my personal info is safe.
I called again and repeated the whole process....all in alll...18 min from start to end....but worried bout that first call.....Hope she doesnt misuse my personal info....I wish this was online |
Offer still alive @ 10am, 04/15/10...
One thing I noticed in the LOOOONG spiel about the terms: FOREIGN TRANSACTION FEES ARE 3%! That's pretty darn high... But if you only use it in the US, not a concern. HTSC |

That's pretty darn high... But if you only use it in the US, not a concern. HTSC The 3% is pretty typical for most (though certainly not all) US credit cards. I know Amex charges 3% on most of its cards, as does MC. |
I must be lucky... Most of mine charge 1.5%...

They are now offering it by email invite to some MileagePlus members with a simple online application. Details in the thread in the United forum.
