60,000 mile United Airlines credit card offer for everyone

i called in regards to the offer. the 50,000 points seem pretty solid, but the 10,000 points -- not so much. calendar year refers to Jan 1st - Dec 31st. therefore, if you apply today, and approved next week (Dec 26th) -- then you have about 6 days to accrue the $25,000 needed to earn the 10,000 points.

this offer is good til Dec 31st -- so perhaps wait a few more days to apply for the card since the associate told me that it takes 2-4 weeks to get approval. that way, a Jan 2012 approval will give you proper time to accrue $25,000 in purchases. hope this helps.

Received a similar offer via snail mail last month but not targeted to elite status members. Had to wait until May 1 to apply to be outside the 6 month application rule with Chase. First year fee waived, 50K awarded on first spend. Same BS for the additional 10K which I will not be chasing. Will be cancelling the card in month 11...just got it for the miles...oh, and received approval on day 2 after application.

I received my Explorer card last week. I was a bit surprised to get it without having to call Chase after receiving the message that my app was being reviewed further.

The 10K extra miles for $25,000 spend is a bit ridiculous however you can get an additional 5K easily.
Just add an authorized user, make one purchase with the card and there you go. Now the card is a 55K bonus for two purchases!

I guess I should have stated in my original post that I received the "app being reviewed further". I too was surprised that I received the approval email 2 days after the app without a call to Chase...Happy to get one without the hassle...this point/mile chasing is getting to be like work!

I didn't get any e-mail stating I was approved- I just received the card about a week or so later... Awesome surprise!

Did you add an authorized user for the extra 5K?

Points & Miles chasing is fun work!

No, didn't add the additional user. Can I do that after I get the card and still get the 5k bump?

I dont see why not. I was offered it when activating the card. Call up and ask!

Please keep me updated on this I'm very interested. Thanks.

I had the same experience - was 92 days since i last applied and received my last Chase card and got the review message last Thursday, then by Tuesday it showed up when I logged in at chase. Awaiting the card now. Easy easy miles
