Again, why PC instead of applying for it as a new card with a signup bonus?

Any chance there will be a business version of this card?

No current plans for one.

Maybe answered already, my app reflects the new card and look, but will they send out new physical cards?

In previous cases Chase has, but it took a month or two.

I believe the letter said they won't be sending new cards.

Apply for Explorer Card now or wait for Quest Card

Quest card is not available for new customers yet. I am confused between waiting for a Quest card or Applying for Explorer Card now?

If the Quest card is appealing to you, I'd suggest waiting at least until we see what the promotional offer for new customers is. Even if Chase makes an offer to existing United-branded cardholders to upgrade, there's no guarantee that it will be as good as the offer made to new customers.

I would be happy if Chase leveraged their United partnership to offer 2x bags on United flights on their top tier travel CCs like the Chase Sapphire Reserve.

United hates that Chase has developed the Sapphire Reserve, as they see it as competing with the United-branded offerings. I don't think Chase has that much leverage here: there are more banks than there are airlines.

I PCed to the Quest card. I was told I still had 1 billing cycle to reverse my decision.

The card has so many great benefits that I wouldn't be surprised if it isn't made available as a new account.

Question: would the 2x bag benefit apply on an award ticket? And can you be upgraded on an award ticket ONLY if you got at least premier status with United or all Quest card members can? And by upgraded, are we talking about premier economy or business class?

Yes

The benefit is limited to the primary elite cardholder and no companions and status of Silver or higher is required. And you will need to be on a single person PNR to be eligible.

from economy to First (just CPU routes), just like CPU -- essentially the primarily cardholder on an award ticket is eligible for CPU.

If United does not open more lounges soon and offer more food choices, I may product change to this card from the Infinite. The new quest card in my opinion devalues the infinite card significantly unless they make changes to that card as well (which I doubt )
