Our Verdict
Looks like the rumor was accurate. This isn’t the best offer, we saw a bonus of 65,000 miles last November and even a recent bonus of 75,000 miles on the business card. It is still bigger than the standard bonus of 40,000/50,000 miles though. Remember that the Chase 5/24 rule does apply to this card so most people will not be eligible for this card/bonus. With the new 48 month Sapphire rule using a 5/24 slot on this card might make more sense than it has previously. While not the best bonus we’ve seen on this card signing up could still make sense if you have an immediate need for United miles. If you don’t then my recommendation would be to just wait for a better offer to come along. I won’t be adding this to our best credit card bonus post as we’ve recently seen a better offer. As always if you have a question about Chase cards, read this post first as it’s probably answered there.
