The Chase United MileagePlus Explorer Card has a best ever offer available but it is targeted. You will earn 70,000 bonus miles after you spend $3,000 on purchases in the first 3 months your account is open and you will receive an additional 5,000 miles for adding an authorized user after they make their first purchase. You’ll also receive a $50 statement credit after your first purchase. The card come with a $95 annual fee which is not waived for the first year.

To check if you’re targeted, you need to go to this link and log in with your MileagePlus credentials. Otherwise you’ll see a 50K or 30K bonus points offer. The 70K offer is not showing up for me, hence the image of the old 70K offer in this article.

Keep in mind that this card falls under the Chase 5/24 rule.

This bonus offer is available to you as long as you have not received a new cardmember bonus for this product in the past 24 months.

Getting Matched

Chase is usually the best credit card issuer at matching better new offers, if you’ve recently applied for a card. They almost always match public offers but you also have a good chance at being matched for such targeted offers as well.

If you’ve recently applied for a 50K offer, then just send a secure message through your credit card account and ask to get matched to this 75K offer. You must have opened the card within the last 90 days.
