New United Business Card
Chase has a new credit card, the United Business Card. This replaces the old United Business Explorer and has some added benefits and an increased fee of $99. That’s up from $95. The new card also comes with a big offer for 100,000 miles.
Offer
Earn 100,000 bonus miles after you spend $10,000 on purchases in the first 3 months your account is open.

Guru’s Wrap-up
The United Business Card is an improvement on the old card. The added benefits might now be useful to everyone, but you are getting them with just an added annual fee of $4. Just keep in mind that this is not a completely new product. It replaces the old United Business Explorer card and if you have received a bonus from that card in the last 24 months, you will not qualify for this offer. This is a big bonus as well, but it does have a huge spending requirement to go with it.
