Perhaps you had an easy grader!

The law depends on the state, but, in most, contracts for necessities such as housing, food, clothes may be enforced even if with a minor.

As to the card, if the minor applies--which they can certainly do--and gets the card--which is more problematic since they probably don't have anything on their credit report, they should get the miles.

I don't see the harm in giving it a shot. @:-)

Especially in view of numerous folks I know who have gotten their cats or dogs cards (none of them over 18).

Close the page, return to United home page - you should then see the banner ad. log in and click the banner ad, the correct page should show up.

Well, yes, the grader wasn't harsh, and the class was straight forward. If you didn't get an A in the class, then either you skipped classes or were not at least of average intelligence. lol. Anyways, you are indeed correct regarding those necessities, which is why I qualified my statement with "generally." Student loans is another example of contracts minors can't get out of. But, when it comes to cars, general loans, and such, minors are not legally responsible. In some states, even if you misrepresent your age, you are still not responsible for anything. For example, you can buy a car at 16 with a loan from the dealer and return the car a few months later. Dealer has no choice but to take the car back, and the minor can void the loan. This was an example used in my class. And, I made a mistake in using the word void. I think the correct term is voidable in the case of contracts with minors, since the minor holds the option to void it.

Another data point. Got CO card April last and still have it. Opened the United Explorer card late February and statement closed last week and 50K alone with first purchase spending all showed up in my UA account this week.

Sweet applied for sapphire preferred and united explorer same day, denied at first for explorer. Called in and the rep suggested transferring from sapphire preferred which I of course agreed to. Then rep said card had already been auto-approved for some reason, great lol.

Wow you must have lots of luck, I just called in after receiving my rejection letter and was told I have been denied to me receiving 2 personal and 1 business card in the past 3 months.

I read somewhere that if you use the UA Explorer card to purchase tickets from UA, the miles will be counted as a PQM. Is this true?

Logged into my united.com account, and found an offer for 60K Miles right there, no $50 Statement Credit, but First Year Free and Club Passes.

I have an old United card (the one which gave 5k EQM for annual 35k spend). Can I apply for the Explorer card and get 60k, if I still have the old card?

I have pretty good ties to Chase (primary checking account/savings several years and chase freedom for 2 years). Probably since I only had one card and in good standing, going up to three was not an issue on their system.

No. You just get an extra RDM per dollar spent on the ticket.

Hello guys, I am new on the forum and I have been approved for UA explorer. I was denied the first time for too many request for credit. Then I called and I got approved but the person said I wouldn't receive the bonus. Is there any way to get the bonus after getting the card? thanks.

G.

Yes.

Edit: As a Premier 1K (or any Premier level), you are eligible for the full 60K bonus, *if* you hit the spend target.

I did - I cancelled the old one after the miles posted for the new one :-)
