Bonus now down to 60,000 points.
Update 1/24/23: Deal is set to expire soon according to sites with affiliate links.
Update 4/8/22: New bonus is 90,000 miles with $5,000 spend. Might be as good as the expired offer of 100,000 miles due to lower spend. (ht USCCG)
The Offer

Chase has a special signup bonus offer for the newly launched United Quest card:
- Get 80,000 United miles when you spend $5,000 within the first three months of account opening.

Card Details

- $125 credit each card year on United purchases (this goes based on the card anniversary year)

Updated History
- Update 8/28/21: There is an end date showing 9/22/21. Who knows if the offer will actually end then or not, if you’re interested in the offer I’d suggest signing up now. Hat tip to MtM
- Update 7/24/21: Referrals now show the full 100,000 point offer. Do not share your referrals in the comments below.
- Update 4/9/21: Card is now available via referrals as well, though the referral bonus only has the 80,000 points part of the bonus, not the extra 20,000 points.
Our Verdict
Nice big launch offer. Initially we thought the launch offer was going to be 80,000 miles, so it’s nice to see the added 100,000 tier. This is probably a better deal than the 70,000 United Explorer offer with waived annual fee which we saw recently, but it might depend on the person.

I’m seeing the 80,000 + 500 pqp in united app as well still
seeing 80k + 500pqp for $4k spend
I’m seeing 60k
still seeing 80k + 500pqp for $4k spend. Showing up on my united app.
looks like you need to be logged into your united account to see the 80k + 500 PQP for $4k spend, maybe targeted.
I don’t see the 500 pqp but on USA Credit Card guide they have 80K after 5K spend, and 2 5K certs
Link is now 60k but referrals still showing 80k (plus 10k for the referrer)
I’m only seeing 60k this morning. Any links with 90k still out there?
Did we miss it?
Referrals still show 80k (plus 10k for the referrer). I just referred P2 but got “we need more time.”
Smh, VFTW was pimping the crappy offers that recently expired with “LAST CHANCE” hard sell. Then they promptly increase Explorer and Quest SUBs by 10k
90k has been available for some time
I just got the Chase SW card in early December. Also the Chase SW biz card in December and an Ink card in October. I am 3/24. What are the chances that I will be accepted for this United card?
Does 5/24 rule apply to this co brand Chase card?
some DPs on some of the United cards showed above 5/24 worked but that was last year. but generally yes 5/24 counts.
I just applied for Quest earlier yesterday with referral link only showing 80,000k. Will Chase match?
I got the CIC before they increased the bonus, and yes they did match (they told me to contact them after the bonus posted, and then they manually credited the extra points)
Some corrections:
– the bonus is United miles not points
– $125 credit starts with the first year, then after each renewal
– 2x 5,000 miles back for each miles-paid trip starts after the 1st year – the trips need to be booked after the anniversary, and this only applies to the cardholder, so you do not get the bonus when booking for someone else.
You can book two separate one-way tickets instead of round trip to get 10,000 for one round trip.
Fixed these, thank you

May I ask you why we need this code?
Hello! I’m not sure; when I was applying, there was a field that required a code so I just pulled that code from the comments and it did the trick.
