Anyone apply for the targeted offer after logging into your MileagePlus account?
I clicked the “apply” button and got a pop up thanking me for submitting. I tried it twice with the same result.
I didn’t fill out any information, I didn’t get an email that the application was received, and the pop up didn’t say that it was pending or that they would let me know.

Is this normal when applying for a targeted offer while logged in? I’m guessing maybe since they have my info?

I applied for CSR seconds before and got instant approval. I was hoping to get this card too with a single hard pull (previously at 3/24 so that shouldn’t be the problem) but I can’t tell if I actually applied?! I don’t want to call because I don’t want to draw attention to the two apps on the same day.

I know this post is a little old. But if anyone sees this, I would really appreciate your input!

Not targeted for increased bonus, but I opened a Mileage Plus account, downloaded the MPX app, and made a some dummy bookings on United.com all within the last few days. Yesterday I received an email invite to apply for Explorer, 50k + 5k AU / $2k spend, no statement credit. Wondering if I should jump or wait/push for an offer with lower spend threshold and/or statement credit, with the impending 5/24 co-branded app restriction coming soon.

I’d probably wait a bit longer for the +$50 offer unless you need the miles ASAP (just don’t wait to long otherwise the 5/24 rules will get you).

Thanks for the reply. I don’t need the miles immediately, but I think I’ll make the United Explorer and IHG cards my last (hopefully combined) pull with Chase before 5/24 fully sets in. My recent activity obviously triggered the offer, but I’m not sure what to try next in hopes of getting a better one.

Hold off on the IHG card since it is not under 5/24

Received the same 50k + 5k AU / $2k spend / no statement credit offer by snail mail last week, seems to have been triggered by Mileage Plus enrollment and/or dummy bookings. Included this link: UnitedExplorerCard.com/AMA1, but notes that you must log in with an existing MP account. I’m curious if this link would work for anyone, as when I log in directly from United.com I still only see the 30k offer.

Well. I got denied the application because my income was too low haha. Although I got one of the mailers for using their shopping portal. I probably shouldn’t even bothering applying again right?

I got this 50k offer in the mail after using the MPX app to purchase an amazon gift card.

How long did it take for you to get it?

Same. It took about a month for me to get the offer in the mail.

I was wondering if i currently hold the mastercard version of the MPE (a holdover for many years) can i sign up for this and a receive the bonus? i.e. is the visa version of the product and mastercard considered the same consumer product or two different products?

Should be fine because it’s a different card, not 100% sure though.

I checked on the united link and entered my mileageplus number and it says I’m eligible. but I have already received the signup bonus in July 2015. would you recommend I apply?

No, it still has the fine print about 24 months so you won’t qualify.

I won’t qualify, but do you think chase might overlook it and possible release the 50,000 miles after the min spend requirement is met?

Does the chase 5 cards in 24 months rule apply to this card?

Phong

No. Only cards that are directly affiliated with Chase (ONLY) are part of 5/24. This card is co-branded.

I closed my Chase UA Exp CC a few months ago (last yr)… I got this offer of 55k miles + $50 SC, albeit w/$2k spend in 3mo using the above link.

however whats the strict definition of the 24mo lanague in the T&Cs? is it exactly 24mo from the day the bonus was earned on your statement (so statement closing date) or 24mo from the day the bonus posted to your UA acct or 24mo from the day you applied for the CC or 24mo from the day you were approved/acct open for the CC?

that’s the really confusing part. hate that Chase will approve you for a CC even if you may not be eligible for the bonus. DoC team any particular insights and how to best play this?

Pretty sure it’s 24 months from date of receiving last bonus. Log in to your United account and it shows the exact date it was awarded.

Can read up at the various mega threads at Flyertalk, some manage to get in months earlier than the 24 months and earn the bonus, but that’s a risk.

The big question now is, with Serve gone, how are folks meeting their min spends, $2k each card x how ever many family members? 😀
