21K United Miles and $200 Morton's GC after $250 in purchases

The following offer was e-mailed to me earlier today and I thought wanted to share. AFAIK, this is a new offer. If it isn't, well it is new to me and may be new to others.

The $60 annual fee is not waived for the first year, but it might still be worth it

Link to offer with no annual fee (but no Morton's either)

$200 Morton GC. Dang, that's a boatload of table salt.

If you previously received a mileage bonus from a UA card, you won't receive the miles. They ended the gravy train last year.

Even if you cancelled the card?

yes

I've routinely held the airline credit cards for close to a year, cancel them before the fee is due, and then reapply three or more months later. Last fall, I tried again on UA and they sent me a letter, after approving and sending me the card, saying I was not eligible for the bonus miles since I had previously gotten them with another card. Delta instituted this policy a number of years ago. I've had success getting repeated bonuses on AA, NWA, and AMEX membership rewards.

there's also an offer for 50,000 miles but no free year with UA.

got the offer in the mail. also got the 21k + 5k offer with no annual fee for first year in the mail.

www.sendmethecard.com is where you go to use the offer. but you need a personal invitation number and offer code

I got the same 50k bonus miles offer today, as well as other version of united visa in the past, though I had a personal account before (closed) and just opened a biz account. I hope to get the biz 25k bonus. Strange enough, there is no place to put UMP # on the biz app, but they linked my UMP account to it, which makes me worrying.

I know UA ended churning some time ago (as another member said last year), but this new 50k bonus is toooooooooo tempting... I am contemplating to try my luck... any opinions?

Has anyone been able to get the 50k miles bonus without an invitation code?

jerry2003 said: I assume so, except they keep sending me invitations to apply with bonus miles, while my account was apparently not eligible any more. I am really tempted to try luck with this 50k invitation.

duna said: Apparently they remember which UA account received prior promo miles.

same here. I already had a Chase UA card which got me 20k bonus miles 1.5 year ago. They keep sending me invitations on a biweekly basis for 16k each! The invitations are both personal and business.

My statement just posted 2 weeks ago. I got the miles then and the Morton's card today. This is after already having a business United card that I got the same bonus on.

swandown said: Were all the miles posted to the same United account?

yes

still waiting on mine but at least it gives me hope now knowing someone else has gotten there bonus.

Paymon said: 21,000 miles is good for how many domestic roundtrips? Hopefully atleast one...

A RT is 25K miles
