Can I have two MileagePlus Explorer Cards simultaneously?
When I registered for United's loyalty program years ago, I chose the title of "Baron". United has occasionally confused this title for my first name in various places throughout their system, including tickets.
I am currently a United MileagePlus Explorer card holder. I recently received an offer to apply in the mail, addressed to "Baro X Y" where X is my middle and Y my last name.
Can I apply for another card with the same address and social security number? I wouldn't mind another 50,000 miles.
Thanks,
Baron

Highly unlikely - Seems like MP is using their mailing list to 'spam' you, but this would get weeded out quickly on application.
I remember reading that the Chase MP cards were not churnable, but I could be wrong here. Someone will surely clarify.

Churnable = being able to apply for the same card over and over again, thus reaping the benefits over and over again, like miles offers, etc.
I remember reading that the Chase MP cards are not churnable, but again, I could have misread.

Yes, you can have two cards. If the are both personal (or both business) cards, according to the T&C, you should only get the signup bonus on the first card. Whether the system will catch two signup bonuses posting to the same account I couldn't tell you.

Data Point: I had the Mileage Plus Visa Card & Last Year got an additional Mileage Plus Explorer Card. I got the bonus miles for the explorer card. I still have both and get miles on both cards.
