mturkel99 said: Hey, just wanted to clarify my question. I do not have a card, but I do not want to apply, since I applied for a Chase card within the past 4 or so months. Can I enter her information into the 50K offer I see in my account (so that I get the miles, she gets the card).
When you take the offer it pre-populates most of the info from your rewards information. You can't change it to someone else's.
Why not just open her a miles account then have her transfer the points to your account when gets the points?
mturkel99 said: OK. I still see the 50K offer, but I don't see it in the account I set up for my fiance. Can I use the link in my account to sign her up for the CC? It doesn't matter which account the miles go to. I just want to make sure that they won't have a problem with the CC app being under a different name than my account.
when you link your miles account to the cc offer, the name fields on the cc app are pre-filled and you cannot change them.

yeah that's odd. i only remember because my wife's miles account is in her maiden name and i wanted to change to her current name so it would match her credit report but i couldn't. the app was deferred but only for verification. she had to call the verification line...

I opened her an account, and put a good deal of miles in there. But the 50K offer is not appearing in her account.
Is anyone still seeing this offer? I tried every method in this thread and then some, but it's not coming up for me. The link in the OP always redirects to the 30k offer. I do have recent miles posted. I also never see any kind of 50k offer when I log into United.com, only the 30k banner. I've tried every combination of browser, log-in session, cookies active, browsing data cleared, you name it.
Check your snail mail (make sure you're registered with United). I literally have received this offer every two weeks for the past few months. Just got it again on Friday.
Called earlier to convert my United card to another product but was told theres no such option on this card. Most Chase retail cards have had that restriction for some time now but United was one of the few that could be converted to another retail product to avoid the fee...looks like Chase has put its foot down on this one as well. Sad.

You don't want to do this. To transfer United miles, it cost $15/1,000 with a 2k min and 15k max. So it would cost you $225.00 to transfer 15k miles and she would still have miles left in her account.
I think it's "dead" in the sense that they are not extending it to any new accounts. The account I opened for my fiance has over 20K points in it, but only a 30k offer. My account has fewer miles, but a 50K offer (my account was created ages ago).
Got the notice in the mail indicating that the premium offer is available only to new Cardmembers and I wouldn't be eligible for the premium (50,000 miles). I had a Chase MilagePlus Explorer card a short while back, closed the account and then opened this one. Anyone have a workaround to get the 50k miles? Thanks!
I received a postcard saying that the offer is for new members only and I received similar offer in the past, but the $50 credit was applied to my account. Waiting to see if I still receive the 55K miles.
While on the United main page, the offer now shows only 30,000 miles; however when I logged in, I was able to pull up the 50,000 offer still alive and well. Of course this remains "targeted" and linked to your account.

Chase signup bonuses are generally not churnable.

I got the same letter saying i am not eligible for the account opening bonus. I just called to complaint. will see if they will honor that.
my case may be different than some here, they actually targeted me for this offer. I received a very nice pre-approved letter for this promotion, otherwise, I would not sign up for this card.
wrote a letter to chase and with a copy of the invitation letter for pre-approved card offer. finally got a letter from chase and they are giving me 55000 points as an exception.
When I try, I still get redirected to 30K offer. Looks like it is linked to your acct. Has anyone had success getting Chase to approve 50K WITHOUT target?
Did your link (when signed in) also offer the $50 statement credit? Thanks.

My experience has been that just logging in to my United account got the 30K offer banner to come up. If I started to put together a reservation, then I got the 30K + $50 statement credit.
