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.

Chase was once great about "bumping" a bonus but ever since the Sapphire 50k -> 100k they have been less willing to do it.

Not for me - as far as I can see. The only travel I (we) do anymore is on award tickets earned from credit cards mostly - I don't have the opportunity to build up enough EQMs with one airline - and the annual fee was coming due!

Only United Select Visa card lets you have this benefit. Not sure it's still available for new applicants. This card offers triple miles on UA purchases, double miles in Star Alliance, dining and grocery purchases, and 1 PQM match per each $1 spent on united.com up to 5K per year (believe only paid tickets count). I love the card.

Actually the current T&C for the passes indicates that you will get them 8-10 weeks even during the first year as well:
"United Club Passes:
You will receive two (2) Club passes after account opening and every account anniversary thereafter. Please allow 8 10 weeks after account opening for delivery of Club passes. Please allow 2 4 weeks from your credit card account anniversary date each year thereafter for delivery. Club passes cannot be shipped to PO Boxes or addresses outside the 50 United States and Washington D.C. To qualify for this bonus offer, your credit card account must be open and not in default at the time of fulfillment. Valid when presented at any United Club location. Each pass is valid for one (1) guest for one (1) visit. United Club representatives will retain this certificate. No cash value. Cannot be replaced if lost or stolen. All United Club membership guidelines apply. Chase is not responsible for offer fulfillment. "

Please! Does someone have a screen print of these Terms & Conditions they could send me? Chase is claiming I won't get the passes until the anniversary date. I am 100% positive I applied for the offer quoted above as I read it mulitple times before applying. My only screen shot was of the splash screen and it does not indicate recieving passes after account opening. Damn I should have screen printed the T&C's!!!
I have same problem--screen print anyone---TKS

I know you folks would probably feel better having a copy - but I, and many others applied when the T&C said specifically we wouldn't get the passes until the anniversary date - yet we still got them about 4 months after we opened the card.

Our miles posted yesterday, yay!! Also have a Continental one pass that I just got charged the annual fee on. I called up to cancel and they transferred me to other line and asked me to reconsider with my choice of the following: $150.00 credit applied to statement, 12K miles, or 2 presidential club passes. I opted for $150.00 credit.
Do I need to expressly ask for a transfer to retention? Are we stuck for this year because we didn't call before she paid the annual fee (in January or so)?

I just talked to the front-line Chase CSR re: my wife's OnePass-turned-UA Explorer card, and they wouldn't offer her anything, nor did they offer a transfer to the retention department. Said we were trying to narrow down the number of cards she has with annual fees, between the UA and BA cards.
