Thank you all for the additional info.
When the OP+ rolls over to M+, and a person already has M+ at that time, assume you may be able to combine the credit limit?

G'day all, a bit of a naive post here:
So I have my nice, free Visa CC from my local credit union... Nice thing is 24 days interest free on purchases so I have never paid interest.. but hand in hand is a poor rewards program.. Does anyone know how the interest free period goes on these cards? Is the main cost the $95pa (which, if I had a ~30K annual spend == 30K points, well worth $95)? Easy to pay into the card (via a checking acct)?? (new-ish to the USA) 2. You are the one who can say if it is worth for you. 3. Yes.

My understanding is that you receive the lounge passes at the end of the membership year. So my original plan was to keep it until I get my lounge passes, then cancel and ask for the fee back, or at least for a pro-rated refund.
Now that there's the danger of the card being converted and losing the opportunity for the UA Explorer bonus, I think I'll try to get the UA Explorer card before the year ends. Or do you think the lounge passes are not worth it? To a 1K/Plat they're probably worthless... 2. Well - it is too early to tell. But my suggestion - get it when you can.

Any possibility the offer in November could be better than the current elite offer? Or should I just take the elite offer while I still have the chance?

I believe it is supposed to be the exact same offer. But again nothing is guaranteed.

Sorry if I am asking too much, but is it possible for one of the moderators to summarize this thread. Not sure what's the verdict; my apologies as I did not read all the messages in the thread.
I have United Mileage Plus Preferred Visa Sig card. I got 20,000 miles bonus on this 4 years ago, and I still own the card. I want to know if I will be eligible to apply for this new card? Thanks. My estimate is you should be able to - but don't quote me on that.

Have a few questions:
1) Has anyone tried applying for the Chase Sapphire Preferred and this card at the same time? Were they both aprroved? I'm thinking about doing that. 2) Holding a one pass since paril with no other UA or CO cards, I should be eligible for the bonus if I sign up right? Thx! 2. Yes. |

Let assume Chase gives you nothing, and you end up at the court. Remember, the agent can make a mistake in identifying you that you are eligible (which Chase can show record that they made a mistake). So apology and move on (or maybe a goodwill credit). But, if you can show T&Cs to the court and with your bank record to persuade the court that you are eligible, you will get the whole thing no matter what. So determine your own eligibility, but not Chase. |

is the 60k mile offer for premiere standard and is always there?
Has anyone seen an offer for less than 50k bonus? Also, if someone is already a premiere member and get 1 free checked bag, with this card, is he entitled to another one? Or is it just 1 bag based one either status or credit card? |

Quick question, does using the Explorer card keep your UA miles from expiring, even if you don't fly?
I thus don't the Explorer card makes sense (to keep) if your only concern is keeping miles from expiring. Chase even has a no-annual-fee version of the UA card (that earns half the miles) that's enough to keep UA miles from expiring. You should be able to "downgrade" the Explorer to that after about a year, before you have to pay an annual fee, if avoid UA miles expiration is the main concern. |

Of course, because any method of adding UA miles to your UA account (credit card, UA dining, UA shopping, hotel stays, car rentals, transfers from other point programs, etc, etc) all keep your UA miles from expiring. (And many of them don't have an annual fee, which the Explorer card will after the first year.)

Any member who fails at any time to engage in account activity for a period of eighteen (18) consecutive months is subject to termination of his or her membership and forfeiture of all accrued mileage as of the last day of the 18th month. Activity includes (without limitation) flying on United or earning or redeeming miles with a Mileage Plus partner (as defined in Rule 12), redeeming miles for award travel, buying miles or transferring miles. In cases where mileage is for any reason removed from an account, as for the redemption of awards, and later returned, the return of the mileage to the account shall not count as account activity. The Mileage Plus Program "partners" are airlines, rental car companies, hotels, or other entities who offer products or services as awards in the Program and who, in some instances, permit the accrual of mileage to members who utilize their products or services. |
Ok, that may be the rules, but my actual experience is different. I guess I need to call MP or Avis or someone to see why that activity doesn't update my expiry date.

Don't know if it would roll over into M+. However, I have been in the situation where I wanted to close a Chase card with a decent limit and was able have a CSR move most of the limit to another card before I closed the other.
In the past Chase allowed moving CL freely among cards but that flexibility was taken away in past 2 years. Are you saying now Chase once again allows such request? |

I was able to renew the account with a e-Shopping though it posted very late but I gave 2 months lead time for that and it worked. The other very easy way is to transfer miles between your MP and OP accounts - instantly renews your MP account. I did this as an experiment a couple weeks ago. |

When I got the AARP card earlier last month, I had them move several K from a Chase Sapphire card when I called in to activate it. The card is about a month old so I don't know if you would consider this related to opening a new card. I have done that too, where they approved a new card when I reduced cl on an old one. |
