The 70k card I wish I could get

Last year I took the bait and signed up for Chase’s United MileagePlus Explorer when they snail mailed me a 50k offer.  Honestly, I was pretty happy, and 50k was about as good as I thought it was going to get. AND THEN THE 70Ks started to roll out.  They’ve extended the 70k offer this time around until 7/31.  This card is restricted by 5/24 rules, and while I’m under 5/24, it’s only been a year since I was a proud cardholder, and Chase limits sign up bonuses to every 24 months. UGH! However, if I were eligible to get the 70k bonus…I’d be very eager to snatch up this card.

The offer ends on 7/31

You may have to login and out a few times, use incognito, etc. The offer varies for me, but the last time I was checking award avail the 70k popped up, and after I logged in it continued to show 70k.

The major benefits

The benefits that interest me the most

  • 70k points
  • United Club Passes
  • 5k bonus for AU
  • Extra Award availability

Even if you could, why would you add on to your 5/24 Miles?

Plain and simple. It preserves my Ultimate Rewards and I highly value flexible currency over fixed. By creating 78k United Miles from a sign up bonus, I save 78k UR for some other redemption. Plus, 80k points will fly you in EVA Royal Laurel Business Class from the US to Asia- and those are points you won’t regret redeeming.

    Can’t find it in the card Ts&Cs …. is there a separate annual fee for the additional authorized user?

      Paul v – unless they have changed terms, no annual fee from my experience

    Do you know if you can get the bonus again if you have gotten the bonus more than 24 months ago and you cancel the card?

    Thanks!

      Hey Neil – yes, you should be eligible if it’s been more than 24 months; however, I would keep in mind that if it’s been less than 30 days since you closed the account Chase can reopen it. Not always the case, but possible. Otherwise, as long as Chase approved you and it’s been more than 24 months since receiving the bonus – you should be golden. Thanks for reading!
