Our Verdict
We suspected this deal would be coming. Previous best deal on this card has been 55,000 miles + $50 statement credit with the $95 annual fee waived. In this case you’re getting 20,000 more miles but also paying an additional $145 for those miles, which make this deal less attractive than it seems at first (although still better than the previous deal). If you’ve recently applied for this card with a smaller bonus, you should be able to get matched to this higher sign up bonus. (See this post where we wrote more about this.)
We think Chase’s 5/24 application rules now apply to this card, but we aren’t sure if semi targeted offers like this are included or not. Please share your data points in the comments. Also please read these 22 things everybody should know about Chase credit cards before applying or asking common questions in the comments.

Hi
Is there a way to check if I am over the 5/24 please anybody can answer plz
Get CreditKarma for your credit check needs. It should show all the information with your cards and dates
Veгy good article. I aƄsolutely аppreciate tɦіs site.
Continue the good work!
70k offer appears to be live again. I was targeted over the weekend, it then went down to 50k but checking after the clock struck midnight, it’s back to 70k again. Trying to match again after being denied over the weekend. Chase claimed there was currently no 70k offer – hope that changes now.
I keep getting 50k, 3months, 3k and $95 fee. How to get the 70k offer??? Thanks. Can someone upload the 70k screenshot?
Was 70K a few days ago, now only 50K, I opened a british and united biz 2 motnhs ago, along with a old freedom and 1+yr ink, Prob have 12 card last 24mos….should I give it a shot for 70K, last application for personal business was 5/14.
personal united, not personal business*
Is there a way around can i open A few account’s different email?
To see if can get the 70koffer on my account now is only 30k
Only 30k (sad)
I only see a 50K + 5K offer but will try again after June 1.
I was approved a month before for 50K + 5K offer with no annual fee, can I get them matched for this offer?
We just posted more about this https://www.doctorofcredit.com/get-matched-united-mileage-plus-75000-offer-no-annual-fee/
@Ben, I’m seeing something similar. 70k+5k yesterday, but today I’m being redirected to the 50k+5k offer. Guess I’ll pass on that. Lame.
Might appear again after June 1st.
I have a feeling you’re right, that this is just another false start. If it does reappear, we’re definitely going to jump on it before June 30. In fact, if I can get one AU account on my wife’s credit report taken off, then she should be in the clear as regards the 5/24 rule. Seeing recent data points on that, it might not matter anyways, but it seems better to play it safe in this case. Thanks for the excellent reporting as usual.
30K only 🙁
