United Business Card offering 75K bonus miles
The United Business Card is offering a welcome bonus of 75,000 MileagePlus miles after spending $5,000 within the first three months. Personally, I value United miles at 1.1 cents each, so to me, that bonus is worth $825.
Who is eligible for the United Business Card?
Who is eligible for the welcome bonus on the United Business Card? While Chase and United have several co-branded credit cards, eligibility for the cards (including the bonuses) is independent.
You’re not eligible for the bonus on this card if you currently have it, or if you’ve received a new cardmember bonus on this exact card in the past 24 months. However, you are eligible if you have any other Chase United card, including another business card.
Chase’s standard credit card application policies apply. This includes the 5/24 rule, though anecdotally it appears that this is no longer consistently being enforced.
Why the United Business Card is worth it
The United Business Card has a $0 intro annual fee for the first year, then $99, while offering a variety of perks that will offset that on an ongoing basis, including:
- A first checked bag free for the card member and one companion when the ticket is purchased with the card
- Two United Club passes annually, which will automatically be electronically deposited in your MileagePlus account
- Priority boarding on United flights, with Group 2
- 25% savings on inflight purchases in the form of statement credits, including for food, drinks, and Wi-Fi
- A $100 annual United travel credit, when you make at least seven United flight travel-related purchases per year, each totaling at least $100
- 5,000 MileagePlus anniversary bonus miles, assuming you have this card in conjunction with a personal Chase and United card, like the United℠ Explorer Card (review)
- Eligibility for upgrades on award tickets as a MileagePlus elite member (you’d otherwise only receive these on tickets purchased with cash)
- Valuable travel protection, including trip delay and lost luggage protection, plus primary rental car coverage
The value of this card very much checks out if you fly United with any frequency.

Bottom line
The United Business Card is a rewarding entry level business card that offers valuable perks, from priority services, to travel protection, to a couple of United Club passes.
If you’ve been considering this card, now is the time to apply, as the current bonus will be pulled shortly.
