Awhile ago reddit user benjinito saw the following page when they logged into their United account:
As you can see in the bottom left corner there is an offer for 70,000 united miles and the offer is supposed to end on June 30th. Unfortunately when clicking the link, you’re prompted to log in and the offer doesn’t appear (just a blank page). But if you look at the URL you’ll see the following (emphasis mine): https://www.theexplorercard.com/70kLTO?cell=0wc&int_source=loyalty&mode=d&int_medium=uacom&int_campaign=explorer_70kpromo616&alm=16866&int_content=70k_50&partner_category=cc&partner_name=chase_acq&asset_position=hop2&promo_code=cell_0wc&targeting=eqs&launch_date=2016-06-01
As you can see the URL mentions the 70,000 point offer and also a launch date of June 1st, 2016. It’s possible (and plausible) that somebody accidentally loaded this offer in early and showed it before the official launch date. Because the offer requires logging in to be viewed (even if it is a blank page), I highly suspect this will be a targeted offer (although people have somewhat successfully been matched to these before).
Also worth keeping in mind that we think the new Chase 5/24 rule applies to United cards as well, but still aren’t 100% sure. Also, apparently there is a 500 United miles for $5 spend when using Visa checkout offer coming as well.
i found something like this for the checkout offer.
looks like it is not ready yet.

That’s enough for an economy roundtrip from Hawaii to some destinations in Asia with a redemption value of 1c-2c/pt. If only I could get approved. lol
Hope we see this offer for real, but old news: http://www.welltraveledmile.com/70000-mile-bonus-offer-united-explorer-card/
Yeah, I was actually on vacation. I saw the original reddit post but haven’t had a chance to post until now.
Thanks for the shoutout DoC! My username is actually my dog’s name and he’s really enjoying his 5 minutes of fame, 😉 haha. FYI I recall at least one other person who saw the same banner as I did in the comments section on reddit.
Oscar may announce it at the June 2nd event.
I am sure the following offer is coming next month.
Get 500 bonus miles when you enroll in Visa Checkout with your United MileagePlus® Visa® Card and spend $5 or more within 15 days.
but it comes with the following bad terms:
Cardmembers who are already enrolled in Visa Checkout with a United MileagePlus Visa card are not eligible for offer
if its coming and never had this card can i get the points on both personal and business ??
how do i know if i am in the 5/24 rule ??
Do you think Chase will match this offer? I applied for the 50k bonus about a month ago to avoid 5/24…
They should, but who knows.
I am way over 5/24 (obviously) but I will apply for the biz version of this if it goes up to 70k. just to get a data point at least.
