A Better Bonus for Chase United Quest Card, Earn 80K Miles

Chase United Quest 80K Bonus

Chase and United Airlines recently launched improved offers on their co-branded credit cards, with welcome bonuses up to 90,000 miles. One of those offers is a 70,000 miles bonus for the Chase United Quest Card.

While that’s a decent bonus, you can do 10,000 miles better through an offer that’s showing on the United MileagePlus website. Check out the details of the offer below, and see how you can find it.

The Offer

• Earn 80,000 United MileagePlus Miles and 500 PQP after spending $4,000 on qualifying purchases in the first three months of opening an account.
• Offer ends January 24, 2024.
• Annual Fee: $250 (not waived)

To look for this bonus, you need to go to the MileagePlus offers page and log in. Then click “Learn more” in The United Cards offer in Featured Offers section.

Here you should see the 80,000 miles offer for the Chase United Quest Card.

Make sure you see the 80,000 miles bonus before applying. I’m not sure if this is showing up for everyone, or if it is a YMMV situation. Let me know in the comments below if it works for you.

Guru’s Wrap-up

This is a good card for frequent United Airlines flyers. You need to pay the $250 annual fee in the first year, but there are several benefits that will help you offset it, besides the welcome bonus which is worth close to $1,000. You get up to $125 in statement credits for United purchases and up to 10,000 miles each year for award flights. That’s over $200 in value.

The best ever offer we saw for the United Quest Card was 90,000 miles. This new 80,000 miles bonus is slightly lower, but it is better than the public offer that’s widely advertised.

Just keep in mind that this is a Chase card and it falls under the Chase 5/24 rule.
