Our Verdict
Standard bonus on this card is 50,000 miles after $3,000 in spend. Sometimes it’s also possible to get an additional $50 by doing a dummy booking, I wasn’t able to get that to show but others might be able to. As far as I know this is the highest bonus on the business variation of this card. The 5/24 rule does apply to this card, so most readers won’t be eligible for this card/bonus. The nice thing is that Chase business cards do not report to your personal credit report so this card won’t be added to your 5/24 total. Because of that I do strongly recommend picking up this card if you get the 75,000 offer and are under 5/24. As always if you have questions about Chase cards, please read this post first.
Hat tip to reader George
Gosh i wish this can be referred to apply like amex does. I really want this card but never see the 75k, always the standard 50k.
My application was put on decision pending as they wanted documents to verify my physical address.
However a hard pull was made on my credit report, I thought a hard pull was not made on business cards. It seems my credit score also got a hit
Still not targeted 🙁
Is there a no AF fee downgrade for the business version these days? There is for the personal. I was hoping to hold onto a United long term for expanded availability. I have had the biz and personal before, unfortunately I didn’t know about the no AF personal nor did they offer it upon cancel years ago.
Does Chase match this bonus if not targeted?

Thanks
MarcoPolo , I’ll delete
Thanks
Targeted, but over 5/24 🙁
You can’t get this card if you’ve received a bonus within 24 months, correct?
Got the e-mail and I can only read it and weep.
In the mean time, off to sign up for another AA Citi mailer.
Mr LOL/24
how do you get AA citi mailer?
Just to stress what Ivan X already said, which is the BEST and under-mentioned real benefit of this card:
United Cards get you:
– expanded economy award availability (same as elites get)
– – – This means that when everyone else sees ‘CLE to ORD – 4.5 hours leaving at 6 AM with 2 stops’ – YOU get the expected ‘Non Stop – 10 AM’ flight. Its HUGE and makes the points twice as usable in my opinion since they kinda nerfed their rewards.
Same offer (75,000miles) but $4000 spend not 5k.
