United MileagePlus Explorer Card

[Redbull3]

Make a new united acct add an initial to ur name so u can later merge the accts and then apply for cc using new num.

I did it without a new united account; I got my second card within about 6 months of first, using blank ffn. Got 30k after spending $1k, then SM-ed for additional 20k + $50.

You will need to call up Chase and ask them what the mileage plus number is that is attache to the card. Sometimes they can help you other times they will transfer you to MP which then they will be able to help you.

And if they don't immediately accept the application and I need to justify having 2x same card within 6 months... What's that argument??

so they said after $1000 spend didn't say after $2000 spend

I have got exact same e-mail word by word. I had sent SM to them after I finished my $1000 spend and after 30000 + 5000 (AU) was credited after 1 statement had closed. I have already received $50 statement credit next day after receiving this e-mail. when can I expect additional 20000 miles?

Can this card be churned? If yes how often?

Can this card be churned? If yes how often?

Yes with a different FF# give a look at the wiki.

I think 3-4 month would be safe but theoretically you could every month........

[yoshi]

Thanks my main question was how often which doesn't say in wiki. Also would leaving ff# blank constitute of different ff #?

[ushdadude]

In the chase reconsideration thread, people claim you can get the bonus again without even closing the first card.

You can, but the question boils down to, how many HUCA's will it take to get him approved.

You have to create a new FF#. (Don't leave it blank they will merge it with your existing FF#)

I started off with the Freedom card, then Sapphire Preferred card and have accumulated over 100k points.  I then enrolled in a United Mileageplus account and moved 100k points into the United program.  Soon after I received an offer for 50,000 points to open a United MileagePlus Explorer Card when I spend $2,000.  Extra 20,000 points on top of their standard 30,000 point signup bonus.

[Yeki89]
