Just got off the phone. Any idea why some of these applications are instantly approved and some are not? They're going to snail mail me their response. I don't like doing this type of application where I don't have a hard copy of the T&Cs spelling out the 50K sign-up bonus.
So now it's just wait. TBH |

Hmm. Do those "miles" count as chase points? If so, that's $500, not a bad signing bonus! But I doubt it works that way.
I applied for the card. All I did was call the MP customer service number, ask for my balance, and when they asked if there was anything else they could help me with I said, "Do you have any special offers right now?" They immediately offered the 50k signup deal. thanks... |
Oh my god. This is so tempting. I will try to get one.

I just got one as well. It is good however to know that after the first year there is the $60 per year fee and Chase is pretty pricey when it comes to fees if you don't pay monthly as well as they charge an exchange fee as well as 3%. So your better off using a Capital One or Schwab card for your cash withdrawals and use this card just for building up mileage.
Anyway thanks to the original poster. |

I signed up on Monday. Got my email today titled "Your United Mileage Plus Visa is on its way!". In the email on the right is the following:
Earn 50,000 bonus miles after your first purchase 2 tickets after first purchase/user of card. Not too bad. -Kevin |
is this offer only for elites members?

Got the snail-mail response too. It doesn't mean anything. Whenever I move, I get no instant approval for quite some time. I haven't noticed any correlation between snail-mail and denial. Indeed, if I'm denied (not common), it's often right away!
Definitely no 6 month wait - I've done BA and Southwest in the last 5 months, fully expect to get this one as well. I had a United card in 2006. Two friends also did. Both got a new card and bonus this year. Chase had no record of my ever having had a united card last time I talked to them. Of course, ymmv. |

Call Mileage Plus Customer Service (1-800-421-4655 for non-elites)
1. Choose "manage my account" 2. Let them know your mileage plus number and zip code 3. Say "more options" 4. Finally say "apply for a United mileage plus card". Be prepared to hear the long T&C on the phone... Thanks to the OP for posting. |

In for one as well. Good things come to those who wait... and read the forums.
