The 40k offer (25k+5+10) adds 5k if you add an authorized user, that is all.

I just checked my po box after a week and I received my offer for 60k by mail, never received anything by email

Due to my short credit history Chase isn't likely to give me another 5k if it's a signature card since they didn't want to on the Sapphire preferred...had to close out my United visa with a 5k limit in order to get that approved.

My wife already had 4 other Chase cards. She was approved for the MP Explorer with a $1000 limit.

First I've heard of a 5K offer for an AU.

I just checked the application page for this card and now when I click on the 60K mile offer it says the page is currently undergoing scheduled maintenance. I'm hoping this means they are fixing their error. Is anyone able to pull up the offer page?

The 40K miles offer page works but not the 60K mile offer.

The 60k offer seems to be back up (through the email offer link I received). I had been putting it off since I just got the Sapphire in October, but all this talk got me worried so I applied as soon as I saw it was working again. Pending approval, but I've got my fingers crossed.

Yes, posts here already confirmed targeted emails work. The offer via non-email is in flux and not currently working. "All this talk" would have explained that.

Just to update...I did my first spend on the card when I received it, and I paid it off last week. I noticed the other day that my 50k posted to my UA account, so everything went as planned. :)

Were you targeted or did u just click on the link and applied?

Looks like its backup for now. I got the offer to work by clicking on the link on the welcome page

Ditto, I also see the 60k offer from the UA homepage. I currently have one of the CO 50k cards that were offered last year (picked it up Aprilish). Am I right in thinking that...
1) I will have no issue getting approved for this, and
2) That I should do this ASAP? I thought I read somewhere on FT that due to consolidation, I won't be eligible to apply for another UA card soon?

Yea that is the only reason I am in a hurry since I have my CO card I got before the July deadline but have not canceled it.

By the way it finally worked for me online. But I got a let you know in how ever many days. CRAP I hope after moving credit around they will give it to me. I got a Marriott card in Nov. And before that the card I got was a Chase CO all the way back in Jan of a year ago. So I only got 1 Chase card after that CO card in NOV and this will be my 3rd Chase card if I get it. Hope I won't have a problem.

Did you pay the card off before the statement date? I am wondering if simply making a payment is the trigger or does it need to post to a statement. My statement date is still out a ways and I am trying to get the miles as soon as I can.

I got to think you'll be okay.

I got some Chase cards last Apr, May, Jun (all over one month apart), and Nov. Last two times, I had to use the reconsideration line due to having max out on credit with Chase. So, I am a bit concern about applying now versus waiting. On the other hand, if I wait...maybe the deal will expire. Dilemma. :confused:

I got 2 Chase in May, 1 in June, 1 in August, 1 in November and got approved for my United Explorer on January 13, 2012. I applied online and got the "wait ....." instead of instant approval. Quickly called reconsideration line so they can pull the credit report I unfroze for them and was approved on the phone.

Don't know when it would expire but I would personally be upset if it did.
