Where to find current EQMs credited?
I know this is more of a .bomb question, but why/where do people check their current EQM status these days? I used to get a quarterly statement that showed EQMs so far for the year, but I don't even seem to get that the last two years.

I wish they'd do it like the DL site where there is another column for MQM earned. How hard could that be???

To the OP, the best thing to do when having problems with EQMs posting is to contact Chase via the private messaging system as another member mentioned. If you ever have a problem holding, ticketing or purchasing a reservation, you need to call United web support at 1-800-589-5582, and they can manually book the ticket for you, but you will still get the EQMs as the ticket is considered a united.com purchase that has been issued by web support.

Yes, I'm more interested in the line-by-line transactions (e.g. EQMs from Chase Platinum card, when 2x EQMs post etc). We used to get this in the quarterly printout, but that seems to have disappeared.

No, it has to be booked and ticketed online.

Correct. This has always been the case and is well documented. The only exception is web support.

My experiences with Chase have been generally positive. Every EQM seems to "book" on schedule. Please note, when you make a .bomb purchase for a future flight, frequently (but not always) you must complete the flight before the .bomb Chase purchase EQMs hit your account.
Sometimes, however (as happened to me last week), EQMs for a whole bunch of flights (both already flown and yet-to-be flown) hit my MP account at the same time.
The only way to be sure your EQMs are properly credited is to create a spreadsheet which tracks your purchases and flight dates.

Second Mileage Plus Card with same MP #
Just out of curiousity, can you apply for a second Chase Mileage Plus Card linked to the same Mileage Plus number?

Yes, but the EQMs limits are on the MP account, not the card, so no "extra" EQMs. But may make sense if you don't hit the limits on a single personal card.

After the initial 5K EQM for the sign-up, there's no real advantage for a 2nd card unless you plan on spending $35K on the second card to get 5K extra EQM. Chase will not waive the annual fee for the 2nd card so you will have to pay the $140. Up until last year, I was able to get Chase to waive the annual fees for 2 personal cards ($60 only on the second one because of the sign-up date) and one business card but not this year. As others have said, there are much easier ways of getting EQMs in this age of DEQM and TEQM.

question on getting the chase eqm card. I have the regular chase card (visa signature card) and want to upgrade it to get eqm. I realize that I probably won't get the 30K sign up rdm, but will I get the 5K eqm? do I just go to the site and apply for the card or do I have to be offered it?

The offer to upgrade the card is on the United Website - no need to wonder what the terms are:
Upgrade your card to Platinum Class and earn double miles on everyday purchases

I've also had success with the secure message center. I booked one ticket entirely over the phone, then wrote to Chase saying "the ticket I wanted was impossible to build online (H outbound, W return)" and got EQMs.
