Situation- I had logged in to my account. I had targeted offer of 50K miles + $50, when you try to go and buy a ticket, that comes up. I clicked on it. Changed my FFN#, (Right click, Inspect Element and change). Yes- you can change FFN# on targeted offer.As I had taken miles on this FFN# few years back already. this is also my FFN#, which is primary number, where I merge all my United cards points with duplicate accounts with different FFN#.

Now card arrived, but it had same FFN# written on back, which is associated with account. not new one created? what can I expect?

Seems from your experience that you can not. Can anyone confirm success changing FFN on targeted offer?

How long is it recommended to wait after closing an Explorer card before applying again (with a new United FFN? Is the Club card considered a totally separate product in regard to getting soon after closing Explorer card?

Is the United Club card really so great without any signup bonus?

If I have a 50k link active on a FFN I already received the bonus on, can I just apply under this FFN (since I won't have to SM to match) or is it safer to make new FFN and apply under that?

Won't you lose the bonus if you use this FFN ?

That's why I was asking. I guess not worth the risk-so should just change it-even though there seems to be some recent confusion on if that actually works or not...

If you received the bonus with in the last 24 months under that FFN, you will not receive it again if apply using it.

While applying the app was different then I recognized. Multiple pages and the ffn was editable- no fancy code necessary.

When I first got this card (June '14) getting matched was easy. My wife just got this card and matching took a lot of effort (3 wor 4 SMs), but I finally got them to do so. Farther back in the thread you can find some 50k screenshots you can try and use as proof... As always, ymmv.

My mom did not get card benefits (free bag, priority boarding, etc) for a flight booked with Mileage Plus card since she's not primary card holder.
a) Is that normal?
b) Can she do anything about it for return flight?

Primary Cardmembers and one companion traveling on the same reservation will receive their first bags free each time they fly.
when they purchase their tickets with card.

a) yes
b) she can try showing her card to the check in agent, although it's YMMV.

You sure about that?
Would I get free baggage on Air Canada flights if I credit the miles to my United FFN?
