Ive been through: Been through 2 SP, 2 BA, 1 United, 1 freedom.

If I make a new FFN for United and/or BA, should I be nervous about chase shutting my account down? Or should I just leave it alone?

I tried to get matched for my first UA card and after two tries they told me that if I spend 2k in the first 3 months then and I contact her DIRECTLY then she will manually put another 20k points in my account.

Matched from what? Is there an offer?

Are you asking or telling? Because this is a successful match.

So you just went into chase branch and told them you wanted the offer matched?

Does anyone have experience using Upgrade Award feature?
Friend wants to fly to Poland during summer where coach saver (60K RT) is available but business is not (300K RT). Would it make sense/be possible to buy coach ticket and use points/cash to upgrade? Or something like that?
Thanks

Can only do a plan b on UA metal, and UA doesn't fly to Poland.

Applied for 2nd explorer card with new FFN, however new card came with old FFN on the card (i think was hard coded in the link i used)

is there any way to still get the bonus?

If the cardholder is traveling with 4 passengers, how many free bags will we get? I am sure this was posted, so I apologize in advance

Total 2 free bags.

Primary Cardmembers and one companion traveling on the same reservation will receive their first standard checked bag free each time they fly on United- or United Express-operated flights when they purchase their tickets with their MileagePlus Explorer Card (a savings of up to $100 per round trip — calculated as $25 for the first standard checked bag each way, per person).

How long after instant approval until you can get the free bag benefit? - A friend of mine is travelling tomorrow and doesn't have the card yet.

It's very tough, but I've actually been successful in getting them to give the miles through (multiple) SM.
