Applied yesterday, but got the "we will review within 10 days blah blah". Only other Chase card is the Marriott Visa, which I had gotten 61 days ago. Called the 1-800-436-7961 line today and inquired about the status, agent said the system showed I had just been approved and should get the card in the mail soon....
Cheers

When Do Miles Post?
Upon activating my new card to day I tried to move up the closing date but the csr told me that on the United card the bonus miles are deposited immediately upon the first purchase showing, not after the account closing date.

Called the Chase automated "check application status" number (800-436-7927). Pushed this number and that number as usual, but it now brings you to "an adviser" - instead of letting you know (after inputting your social security number) if your application has been approved or not.
Does anyone know of a new automated number where your application status (approved, denied, pending) can still be gotten without talking to a representative?

Hmmm, wondering if I should be worried? I finally did the link trick and applied for the "60K" Offer - then got the pending message. I called the reconsideration line and they said it had to go through the normal 10 day review and that there was nothing they could do.
I have had a bunch of chase cards and currently have the Sapphire Preferred (applied 5 1/2 months ago) and the MP Select Visa (from early 2011). I have always had to call and move some credit around. I have never been told they couldn't do that and approve it right away. I hope I didn't just take a credit report hit for nothing.

Oddly enough they gave me a pretty hefty credit limit as well (over 75% of the combined credit limit on my existing chase cards). Now once I actually get the card and make a purchase hopefully I get the miles.

Just used the number you gave. Same result with this phone number: after inputting the social security number no application status is given (it just gives: "to repeat this information..."; "to end this call..."; "for an adviser, press zero").

Not by my experience. The miles posted to UA after the billing cycle ended, not after first use. For me that was about 27 days difference, but I wasn't in a hurry to use the miles.

I played with the link in a post a few pages upthread a few times yesterday - did not remember exactly what manner I logged out and logged back in - the 60K offer popped up now when I logged in my MP account. This is interesting. I hope the offer is still good in late Feb as we are leaving for a very long Asia trip on Wed - have to wait till our return because I am 100% sure we would need to re-allocate CLs in order to get this one.

I just called as well and it appears my card was approved today, as I expected. 
Pretty surprised with how much credit Chase appears to be willing to give me between my two cards, guess its for the best though as I'll never even come close to the 50% mark. Now to make my first purchase and get my miles!

hah, how do you like that! I just Skype'd them from New Zealand... gave a phone number to locate my account, and the customer service rep said how can she help with my new account? Great... I said I haven't received the card yet but since the system said the decision will be made in 10 days, I'm calling to check the status. The CSR said the card is in the mail. Sweet!

But will they give you the bonus on the Explorer version though? That part is an unknown until you get the card and after the 1st statement. Chase can be pretty mean in that it would let you have the card if you pass the muster of other criteria, then denies you the sign up bonus and sends you a letter which would arrive simultaneously with your 1st statement, to inform you the cruel fact.
She just canceled the CO last week (no retention bonus offered) & will probably cancel the UA card next month. I'm guessing her odds of getting the MP Explorer sign up bonus this Spring are close to zero. But, stranger things have happened. Thoughts? She never has had an "Explorer"
card.

This why my wife is hesitating in applying for the UA MP Explorer card. She got the CO onepass + MC, with 50K miles, last January. And then she got the UA MP Select Visa in Arpil & the 50K mile bonus.
