notlarry said:I applied for the 20K deal back in June, and have received 5 additional 20K offers in the mail since then. After the original 20K posted to my United account, I called the application phone # on one of the new ones & asked if I could apply for a 2nd one. I was told you could only have 1 at a time.

I'm in the process of moving my CL to another card & closing out the 1st United card so I can apply for the 2nd. I will post an update once there is news to share.
Applied for 2nd card in early September, after verifying original was closed (even though I still see it online). Got it on Monday! I am a little afraid, though, because it says "If your account is not open for at least 6 months, United and Chase reserve the right to deduct the bonus miles from your Mileage Plus Program account." Never noticed this until after I got the 2nd card. Hope they don't remove the 20K they gave me ... has anyone ever had miles removed once they were credited to your FF account?

how can they take them away if they've been redeemed

get on it.


alert mods    

Most likely, they will charge for the redeemed miles per the rate...

BTW, I got my card per the online system. The physical card still in the mail.

I wish it had come earlier, I just bought stuff worth of $2K on other card which gives me half the miles. Any way to get the double miles by somehow having the charges to the new card?

Please help.

Should I call the companies who charged me to cancel earlier charge and use the new card to charge again?

Be careful.....the 20,000 mile offer on the UNITED website makes no mention of a "fee-free for the first year" deal......

Thanks OP...I'm in thru YOUR link

Cheers!

is there any other offer available right now to get miles. i got approved for the card, now i need 5000 more miles to get a free ticket.

As part of Terms/condition:

Annual fee

None first year. After that, $60.00.

"I recently did a 20k balance transfer (0% for 6 months), fee-waived (after asking retention), and got 1 mile
per every 2 dollars (with a 10k mile cap)."

I got charged for a balance transfer. how do i get around this

Hi,
I was told by a friend that adding another person on the card and requesting another card gets me 2500 miles. Has anyone checked that? Please inform. Thx in advance,

This is definetly true for the AMEX Delta SkyMiles card -- I've done it each time I've gotten that card. I have not heard of this for the United card. Has anyone else heard this?

Call them up, and have a chat. If need be, speak to a supervisor.

Say that you were promised fee free... they'll take it away.

I've had very little luck doing fee-free BT's with chase, but much luck in getting the fees taken away after the fact.

Way too expensive!

United is actually one of the cheaper airlines at my airport (Charlotte, NC).

Hi Guys,

I just cancelled my first United milage card 2 weeks back after one free year.

Can I apply for the new one right away or should I wait for long (3 months)?

Thanks

I have cards from Discover and Citi still showing up that I closed 3 years ago.


alert mods    

Was anyone elses skymiles number on their CC all "0"s?


alert mods    

takes more than a month...

How do you "pool" these miles together, isnt 20k on each card.

Do you use the exact same name and just get 4 cars a year?
