taehan said:Just as a head up, I've notice that at the airport kiosks (PHL, IAD), they were offering 20k miles along with a $25 GC, a $50 companion fare coupon, and a t-shirt. I don't recall whether the first year was free, though.

My card from this offer (a good while back, though) came with a $25 discount cert and a 1000 mile upgrade cert.

genome4hire said:This is the best United Mileage Plus card offer I've seen so far. The others I've applied
to in the last year or so - via links found at Fatwallet & Flyertalk were for 15k.

Visa Signature Card, with 20k bonus miles: link

The first year's annual fee is waived. After which, the best strategy is probably to
change the card to a different Chase product, with no fee.

Remember that you can apply for a new United card (and get miles!) every 90 days. Thus, if your credit
score can deal with it, thats 4 cards per year = 80k miles = one free economy ticket to europe + one
free domestic economy ticket.

Other United CC deals worth mentioning:

They will often give you 5k miles for upgrading you to gold, and pro-rate the fee (which would normally be $20),
depending on how much longer till your card renewal date is. Thus, if you upgrade to gold a month or
two before the annual fee kicks in, you could get yourself 5k miles for less than 5 dollars. Just ask about the offer
on the phone.. be persistant.

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).

Also, if you're in College, don't forget about United College Plus. 10k
miles for each degree you get.

I just consolidated my older UMP card into my newer one, to maintain my total CL and extend the time I have until I have to dodge the fee again. One thing I noticed about the offer page now is that the top image says <font color=white style="background-color: #3E3E3E;">17,500 but the page text says <font color=white style="background-color: #3E3E3E;">20,000. Is it worth the risk? I've forgotten how long I have to wait to reapply anyways, and there's no telling if the new Choices may further complicate the offer.

Doesnt cancelling kill your credit score?

I applied and got a message that they will have a decision for me in 30 days. Does this mean I am denied?

How long has it taken you guys to get the miles to show up in your account?
