New here this is awesome, Pretty new to the whole game. I just got my united business card, what do I send as a SM to get 55+50$ and when do I send said SM? before spending 1000? after?
If/when I apply for the personal one do I need to use a new FFN? I also intend on getting the "plus card" will I need a new FFN?
Thanks much!!!

Welcome!
For your first Business and personal United card you can use the same FFN.
And you can already SM for the match on your business card being as it's your first.
If it wasn't I'd tell you to wait until you got the 30K first and then SM.

do you have a sample SM? honestly don't know on what grounds I'm asking for the bonus :-)  the recon called I nailed (7 times for 7 dif cards, but here don't know on what grounds, on a side note for the plus card on a side note, with any chase cards - employees are clueless they have no Idea regarding anything - any fee you (annual for example, I want the unitedCLUB card 395 a year,) I called and was told it will be waived, off-curse it will NOT so once you got the card you call them up and you say you spoke to Representative who said it'll be waived - repeat until success. be super nice it should work on first try. maybe even call and record the conversation. worked for me.

Random bit of information here

The Chase United MileagePlus business card gets 2ppd for Gas, restaurants  and office supply stores.
That's not usually talked about since there are better cards to use at those places but it's just a good thing to keep in mind when you're spending on those cards for the signup bonus.

Just be carful there is a foreign transaction fee of 3% which most chase big offer cards dont ! (chase sapphire p Ba Ua clup card ink bold etc...) And foreign fees apply to canada as well

Regarding the double points make sure to check the cc gas prices, where some charge and 10cents per gallon with a cc whic double points still leaves u 6-8 cents in the read

No biggie, just purchase gift cards from the Gas station and then fill up.   There are still plenty of stations that will sell GC's when using a CC to purchase.

Trying to churn this card. I applied with a new FFN, spent $1,000, the statement closed but I did not receive the 30K sign up bonus. Does this happen often that? Should I SM that I did not receive my sign up bonus of the 30K? Or try going straight for the 50K + $50 offer? What are the chances of them giving it to me as I am churning this card (had it once before.)

Did you finish the 1k spend close to the closing date? When was your closing date? Did you see the statement yet?

[Nafster]

Yes charge went through 4 days before, on the 24th, statement closed on the 27th. I see the statement and it does not show that I was awarded any bonus miles, just miles for the spending. You think that would have an effect? Should I sm about 30K, 50K or wait another month? Also I added the additional user right away, I didnt get the 5K for that either.
