The New UnitedSM Business Card 125,000 mile initial bonus offer ends May 7. I was drawn in by earning 125,000 bonus miles after $5,000 spend on purchases in the first 3 months from account opening. And I was instantly approved.
The card has a $150 Annual Fee. It offers first checked bag free and priority boarding. Plus, you’ll receive a $125 United travel credit after making 5 United flight purchases of $100 or more each calendar year using the card.
Chase even encourages you to have both a business and personal United card because you’ll receive receive a 5,000-mile “better together” bonus each anniversary when you have this card and a personal Chase United credit card.
And the card now earns 1 qualifying point per $20 spent, up to 4,000 qualifying points ($80,000 spend) each year) – an increase from the old 1,000 qualifying point cap.
This is a very nice bonus and it comes with a number of statement credits:
- $100 rideshare credits – $8 in monthly statement credits January through November and $12 in December against purchases made on the card. Annual registration required.
- $100 in statement credits for hotel bookings – $50 up to twice per year on hotels booked through United and paid with the card.
- $50 in United TravelBank cash for Avis or Budget rentals paid with the card, $25 up to twice per year.
- $25 in statement credits for United FareLock purchases made with the card.
- $100 in statement credits against flights booked on JSX with the card.
- 3 months of free Instacart+ membership, and then 25% off thereafter – plus, $10 in monthly statement credits against Instacart purchases paid with the card – through December 31, 2027.
That’s a bundle of rich offers. But honestly, 125,000 miles? My United balance is low (though my Chase Ultimate Rewards balance is not). I just had to give this best-ever offer a shot with only about a day left before it’s gone.
