Update: The increased sign-up bonus is set to end on April 3, 2024.
Chase has released a limited time offer for the United Business Card.
Welcome Offer
United MileagePlus has devalued significantly over the last few years. A 100,000-mile bonus can help offset that a bit, but it's a good reminder that earning transferable points should be the priority over earning airline miles.
Still, if you already have Chase Ultimate Rewards cards, this could be an easy way to supplement your United mileage balance.
The Chase 5/24 rule applies to this card. If you've opened 5+ personal cards (plus select business cards) from any bank in the last 24 months, you are unlikely to get approved.
United MileagePlus Sweet Spots
The main advantages of United miles are the ability to book award tickets without carrier-imposed surcharges. This can really help keep your out of pocket costs to a minimum.
Additionally, you can use the Excursionist Perk to include a free one-way segment on a round-trip award ticket. Practically speaking, this is Untied's version of a stopover that allows you to visit a second destination for no extra miles.
A few redemptions to consider (one-way award rates):
