Edit: Title should read "2nd Chase rep appears to refute T&C's"
As posted previously, it appears Chase reps are unfamiliar with the T&C's or they are ignoring them. I am going to apply and see what happens, along with saving this message. We'll see if I'm even approved, having been a UA MP cardholder in the previous 6 months or so. I asked Chase via SecureMessage: Question: I ve been considering reactivating my United Chase card, and just recently received an email from United offering a nice bonus miles for signing up for the Explorer card. Can you confirm I would be eligible for the mile bonus? Many thanks! xxxxxx I received this: Date: 10-18-2011 08:22:40 From: Credit Card Support Subject: Re: Product Information Request Message: Dear Masonp123, Thank you for the opportunity to assist you today. If you apply for the new MileagePlus Explorer card and are approved, you will be eligible for the enrollment bonus associated with that offer. If you have any further questions, please reply using the Secure Message Center. Thank you, Sxxxxxx Rxxxxxxxx E-mail Customer Service Representative 1-800-436-7927 Account is owned by Chase Bank USA, N.A. and may be serviced by its affiliates. If I added a. Quick 35 k from sapphire points I could get one NYC ATH J RT. is there ever a time when 25 k miles is worth a pull ? TIA |

I got the 40 K offer which is really only 25k plus 5k for adding user and 10k for some exorbitant spend . Question is , is any card worth a credit pull for only 25k miles? Only reason I might even consider this is I have 39k CO miles just hanging around.

To me this looks like just a 30k offer - 25k signup plus 5k for adding a spouse (assuming you have one handy). Certainly nothing special. In general, I wouldn't go for it unless you had some really compelling reason. There's lots of speculation around that a similar but significantly better offer (50k or maybe 60k, no initial spend required) is coming very soon. That's not a sure thing, but 50k seems to be the new threshold at which most folks take interest.

Have applied for the 60k offer, having closed my UA MP Chase card in late May. I currently have 3 other Chase cards open - after being refused the Sapphire offer awhile ago Chase has in my case been a bit more liberal. I've burned through a ton of cards this year, so my FICO is down about 15 points or so but still good. We'll see...

At what level, any 2Ps been offered this?
I posted the link so many time. So I will not post it again. Check this thread to find the link. UPDATE:2P/1P/1K are confirmed except for GS, per cyclogenesis |
Thanks!
Had to log in for it to show 60K... Applied and my MP session timed out so went back and it said 40K... hope it works out I am prem by the MP number... |

I got my Explorer card and should soon get the 50K bonus. ^
On the minus side it's been years since I canceled my Chase card due to horrific customer service. I hoped it would have improved, but after a couple phone calls to setup web access at chase.com, I am reminded why I like American Express so much. I might not keep this card very long. |

Chase stopped letting people do that for a long time. I don't see what they will reinstate that.

United/Chase have again postponed their 3 day 60,000 miles credit card promo. The new projected date is now in the first quarter of 2012. |

(link) This makes me glad that Mrs. nwflyboy applied for the Chase Sapphire Preferred card (and got instant approval) a few days ago. We will be focusing our spending on that one for the next few months. My last application (also the Chase Sapphire Preferred card) was in August (just finished the 3K minimum spend), so I'm hoping we can both hit the special Chase United 60k offer (assuming it does materialize) when it finally pops up in Q1 2012. |
If you are M+ Elite, see if you are qualified for the existing 60K promotion and take it. For the rest, you are definitely SOL. |
Took the elite 60k offer and ran. Instant approval online and card came in a couple days. Will let you know when the miles post.
