I did a 2bm about a month ago for a UMPE and BA. Instant approval for BA, but declined for United. 5 recon calls and a SM later I still couldnt manage the approval. Problem was too many requests for credit and short length of credit history (about a year and a half). Any recommendations as to when to reapply to maximize chances of approval? Especially now that I got a targeted offer for 50k for just 2k spend (that ends May 8th)

Thanks Doc!

UA website is now also showing a public 50k/$3k offer that ends 6/2.

Are the UMPE & United Rewards considered the same product? I downgraded to the United Rewards a while back and now with the new 50K offer I wanna reapply for the UMPE (new ffn of course). Do I need to close the United Rewards before I can reapply for the UMPE or if so, do I need to wait 30 days?

New United cards? This is what I see at UAL.com. Clicking leads to a Japanese website.

I wasn't trying to find the real card, just showing this glitch I came across.

It's a sign that you should be joining the DO in NRT

Whoops. My location was set to Japan. Thanks Dr. Moose.

Looks like if you make a reservation on united there is an offer for 50K + $50 statement credit.

Possible for anybody to get the 55k + $50 offer, just start making any booking on the United website. On the first page to the right hand side you'll see a small advertisement for the offer. Can't remember if Dan has Chase links or not, if he does it might be worth waiting 12-24 hours to see if there are links for this deal or not so you can support him.

I just got this card for the 2nd time. Can I merge the two FFNs right away, or should I wait 'til I get the bonus points?

If it's less than 24 months since you got the 1st bonus you should wait.

if I log in to my account and click on the United explorer card
it says 50,000 bonus miles after spending 2k
did anyone else got that not the 3k spend?

I already have united card, but I never added AU for 5k.

Can I just add now and I will receive the 5k? Or is it a special offer?

The odds are the link you applied with included the 5K offer, but you definitely have to have done it within the 90 days of signing up for the cards (if not sooner?).

I'm curious, the current terms of the offer clearly state that:

"This new cardmember bonus offer is not available to either (i) current cardmembers of this consumer credit card, or (ii) previous cardmembers of this consumer credit card who received a new cardmember bonus for this consumer credit card within the last 24 months."

So if it has been over 24 month since one last got the bonus, why does one still need to open a new FFN? why can't use the existing UA FFN?

Thanks
